LENOVO ThinkPad T400

Lenovo recently launched a laptop which is slightly heavier than the company’s thinnest and lightest laptop but it aptly priced at several hundred dollars less. The new Think Pad T400s weighs less than 4 pounds but is only a pound heavier than the ThinkPad X301. In addition the T400s is thicker at 0.83 inch when compared with the 3/4 of an inch and this also has 14.1-inch display which is almost an inch larger than the X301’s screen.

The X301 was introduced in August 2008 and entered the market as a competitor for Apple’s MacBook Air when it came to features with the only visible difference in their price. The X301 was priced at $2,599 which was almost $800 more than the Air. But since then both Apple and Lenovo have lowered their prices. The Air now retails at a starting price of $1,499 whereas the X301 went on sale on Lenovo’s Web site at a price of $1,939.

But what Lenovo is aiming to offer with the T400s is a slightly larger thin-and-light laptop than the X301 but at a price of $1,599. Apart from that the T400s has more processing power due to the 2.53-GHz Core 2 Duo processor compared to the 1.4-GHz Core 2 Duo.

The T400s also comes with a choice to the customer when it comes to storage capacity. They can choose from the 128 GB solid-state drive or 250 GB hard drive. The battery consists of six-cells that provides up to six hours of battery life. The laptop is Wi-Fi enabled and offers optional support for wireless carrier’s 3G data networks.

Other features include an Express Card slot along with an option for a DVD burner or Blu ray disc player and this also offers support for up to two monitors. Lenovo has added the fingerprint reader which has the ability to boot the laptop with only a swipe of a finger.
