Lenovo ThinkPad T400s (Multitouch)


09/18/2009
Rated:

wired.com

Pros: Lovely textured trackpad (ironically redundant given the multitouch screen). Still offers solid ThinkPad design and sturdiness. Turns Paint into Fingerpaint - fun

Cons: Huge price markup for touch features. Massive performance, weight and battery hit. Stretching to use multitouch screen is uncomfortable for more than a few seconds, making extended touch usage nearly impossible and rarely accurate

Lenovo loves to push and prod at the boundaries of notebook technology. Sometimes these results are fascinating (as with the dual-screen ThinkPad W700ds). And sometimes they fall flat, as is the case with the ThinkPad T400s with multitouch hardware.

hardwarezone.com

Verdict: At its thinnest point, the T400s is around 21mm, which is around 2 to 3mm thicker than the X300's thinnest point of 18.6mm. That's quite an improvement over the previous non-slim T400 model, and we do quite like that. While the form factor has been ...

Lenovo's original ThinkPad T400 was a chunky notebook that was much loved by its users. Its successor, the ThinkPad T400s sheds the bulk but still packs in a heck of a punch. We find out more in our exclusive online coverage.

Pros: Lightweight and sturdy build ; ergonomic keyboard ; good on-the-go performance

Cons: Isn't as light as ultraportables ; SSD can be persnikety with some apps

Verdict: Whether its benchmark scores are those of a sports car is another thing entirely. Our gaming benchmarks proved that the T400s is strictly a work and productivity machine. As far as photo editing and video encoding go, the ThinkPad surpassed our zero ...

While there are plenty of notebooks that can lay claim to stylishness, whether it's with a sleek, metallic chassis or a trendy graphic enveloping the chassis, the Lenovo ThinkPad T400s foregoes the fashionable aesthetics in favor of comfort, ...

Cons: BD-ROM option would be nice
