Just got my Lenovo ThinkPad T540p

Sadly, it is not the 3K IPS model, looks like a plain 1366x768 TFT?but happily it is the upgraded Core i7-4910mq, which is much faster than the 4700mq or the i5 variant. Apart from the screen and MUCH BETTER CPU, the ports etc. are the same as -> https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-ThinkPad-T540p-20BE005YGE-Notebook.114312.0.html

I was expecting a single 8GB SO-DIMM, but it had 2 x 4, so my replacement SO-DIMM just bumped it up to 12GB RAM.

I will be replacing the HDD with a Samsung 850 Evo tonight, the 5200rpm laptop drive installed is a real dog, even with 8GB FLASH cache :-/

I will be installing Mojave 10.14.6 tomorrow, so will update you with details of success or failure...

Oh, it also looks like the keyboard is not a 4-level backlit model either :-(
