 === N140HCG-GQ2 IPS display recommended ===
-While all displays from the list above have been tested and found to be working well, **the most recommended display is the N140HCG-GQ2**. It has superior brightness and image quality and uses the least power of all available options. It has been released comparatively recently (2019), so it can be considered modern and, at the time of writing, it is still in production. At Vikings we **love** this display and that's what we use for our customers that order the IPS panel option.

 ====== Third-party batteries ======
-There does not seem to be a battery vendor lock-in on the T440p, even with the newest Lenovo firwmare (package GLUJ43US). There are some 3rd party batteries that won't charge for unknown reasons. However, batteries sold at Vikings have been tested and work as expected.
