Desktops & Notebooks: Lenovo ThinkPad T400s Laptop Offers Lightweight Computing for Business Users


Lenovo has released a new thin-and-light business laptop called the ThinkPad T400s. The new ThinkPad T400s combines some of the design features found in the high-end ThinkPad X300 series along with the everyday enterprise options of the more conventional ThinkPad T400 series. The result is a laptop that weighs less than four pounds and is less than 1 inch thick. While the ThinkPad X300 series carries a hefty price tag, Lenovo decided to offer the T400s at a more reasonable starting price of $1,599. Other features found in the ThinkPad T400s include an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, DDR3 memory, a solid state drive option, and options for Wi-Fi, WiMax and WWAN. The Lenovo ThinkPad 400s goes on sale June 23.
