Lenovo thinkpad notebook - Lenovo Thinkpad T400 Review. 2765 T2U. 2.53 Dual corm 7200 RPM HD, Switch able graphics, 9 cell battery.
While the Lenovo T400 offers speed and great expandability its on the heavy side at nearly 6lbs. The 14" wide screen is super sharp. Viewing angle is much less than most will expect. Boot time is 22 seconds. Good battery life & features.
Cons- Extremely cheap plastic construction. Severe 'flex' on keyboard and deck. Sloppy construction throughout. No rubberized finish!! 9 Cell is HEAVY. Monitor is not bright enough for outdoor use.
Conclusion- For $1,500 I expected the quality to live up to thinkpads of the past. If you are expecting this T400 to be the quality of the old IBM days take a pass on this one. It may be quick and have some expandability but many other competitors offer significantly better quality, same if not better specs for about the same money.

Product Description
The new ThinkPad T Series has improved power efficiency by more than 25% over previous T Series, which increases your mobile computing time. Hardware improvements like LCD Backlight Displays coupled with software enhancements such as the new Green Power Scheme, Battery Stretch, and ThinkPad Energy Saver technology, the ThinkPad T Series lets you get the most out of your mobile computing time. Its 3rd generation fan and Adaptive Thermal Technology combine to make the new ThinkPad T Series the coolest and quietest T Series ever. New Thermal Design with tuned airflow provides cooler systems and balanced temperatures across the system. As a result, ThinkPad base cover temperatures run lower than any previous generation. Adaptive Thermal Management automatically adjusts processor and fan speeds to keep a consistently quieter system. This puts the T Series into what we call silent/stealth mode, providing a more pleasant computing experience. Its 3-speed to 4-speed Fan transition mode also makes for improved acoustic levels, lowering its noise level by 3db. 14.1 diagonal WXGA (1280 x 800, 185 nit) TFT Display Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD Video Card Ultrabay DVD+-R/RW Drive Intel 5100 802.11a/b/g/n ExpressCard 54/34 Slot PCMICA II Slot Fingerprint Reader 3 x USB 2.0, IEEE-1394, Headphone out; Microphone-in, VGA, RJ-11 (Modem), RJ-45 Approximate Unit Dimensions - 13.2 (W) x 1.3 (H) x 9.4 (D) Approximate Unit Weight - 5.0 Pounds
