Lenovo ThinkPad T410s


$1,400.00 Released January, 2010

Product Shot 1 The Pros:World-renowned ThinkPad keyboard - roomy, comfortable design/layout, great feel with little flex. Pretty lightweight for the specs. Professional 16:10 aspect ratio provides greater vertical length for scrolling web pages, documents, etc...

The Cons:No larger capacity battery option. 5400 rpm hard drive speed is a slim bottleneck for this otherwise fast system. Not designed as a consumer device - lacks features such as an HDMI output for use with home theater equipment.

    Erik: Good point, Yale. I have the t400s
    Same deal. Do you know where you can pick one of those optical slot batteries? How much? Nov 2, 10

    Yale: Lenovo's website (at least the Canadian version) is such a mess when it comes to batteries. I couldn't find a slice for either the T400 (supported?), T400s or T410s. What a disappointment compared to their software, support and computer customization / purchasing sites. Configuring a new computer usually gives you the option to add extra batteries but there were no slice options (or additional battery options at that) with the T410s! Either way, a slice is going to be a bit expensive, 2 slices I did find on their battery site were around $150. Useless Lenovo, way to drop the ball. Nov 2, 10
