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

By Scott Ferguson on 2009-06-23


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.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T400s Laptop

Lenovo released the ThinkPad T400s laptop June 23. This latest ThinkPad notebook weighs about 3.9 pounds and measures 0.83 inches thick.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T400s

The ThinkPad T400s starts at $1,599, which places the notebook in the same price range as many of Lenovo’s other enterprise laptops.

The Thin-and-Light ThinkPad T400s

The ThinkPad T400s uses the same carbon fiber technology found in Lenovo’s high-end ThinkPad X300, which makes this new notebook light and a solid travel companion for road warriors and others on-the-go.

Data Storage and the ThinkPad T400s

In addition to a traditional hard disk drive, Lenovo is including a solid state drive option with the ThinkPad T400s. A user can select a SSD that can hold between 64GB and 265GB of data. The T400s also offers up to 4GB of DDR3 main memory.
