Thinkpad T440p and T540p

[Lundberg, Johannes]

Just make sure it doesn't have Optimus graphics or Intel Haswell graphics.
My understand is that in the newer machines you can NOT choose discrete
graphic card in BIOS, you can only choose between switchable or integrated
and Haswell graphics is not supported.

According to discussion forums I seem to be correct but I am not 100% sure.

No Optimus support and no support for newer Intel graphic chips is one of
the reason I have to switch to Linux until we have working graphics on
FreeBSD :(
