Most recent ThinkPad T-Series with an optical drive

#1 Post by the_servicer » Tue Mar 07, 2017 2:13 pm

What are the most recent ThinkPad T-Series that had an optical drive available? Is there anything more recent than T440p or T440? I am more interested in 14-inch displays instead of larger screens.

After searching around I didn't find anything definitive. (Maybe I'm just blind.)

The T440p was the last one (and it will remain the last one I think).

Thanks. Is it mostly the same story for 15-inch T-Series units? I understand the DVD drive disappeared into the Sky Lake.

Yes, the T540p was also the last.

Of the current systems only L560/L570 as well as P70 and P71 feature an optical disk drive.

Does T540, 550, 560 and 570 use socket CPU or BGA CPU?
