    ""T Series is the laptop for me and for the people who want great performance in a solid machine. I was always a thinkpad fan and that always help me in deciding the notebook i want to buy next because I have to choose from very few options. The T series laptop is what was in my budget and was giving me optimal performance considering I am a software developer and I neede a machine which can support some of the heavy software tools. And T series come as a savior. It is robust, good looking and somewhat sexy notepad. The only issue is a bit heavy..." "

    "I bought this in Jul 15, and have used it everyday since. For its size and features it is pretty light. I am a marketing student and this laptop comes with me every day. The LED backlit screen is quite bright, and the screen is very crisp. The battery life is ok,since I only 4 cells. It drops about 45 min if i turn on the Wi-fi. One thing I have found is that after switching the graphics to energy savings mode, a restart seems give you lower energy consumption.

I only have one minor issues. i wish there was a DVI-I port instead of VGA. I frequently use an external monitor, and have found the digital connection does make a noticable difference. (The Docking station does provide a DVI output, but costs an additional $170)

All in all, I belive that this was a great purchase, and should last a good amount of time."" "

    "The battery life is long 6.5 hour with surprising low heat. I can use it for hours without any burning feeling. The weight is just tolerable with big enough screen. It is the best laptop that i have ever used. "

    "Thinklight. pointer mouse (hate those aweful touchpads! disabled mine). thin and light. Great battery life even with just 6 cell. Single latch switch. Cool running cpu. Bought through Ebay (ellan_mouse) for only $750 after 10% ebay discount with no tax or shipping charges (now that's a deal!). Keyboard feels the same (not flexy like other reports). XP Pro still available.
Seems like a lot of Cons but at this price I am not complaining. I have a huge home system so my T400 is just a stripped down unit with XP Pro (not whista), only 1 gb of memory (everything running uses less than 700 Mb), intel video, dvd only reader (I use flash drives and only burn dvds on my home unit). Didn't make sense to pay another $300 for options (video, burner) that my home unit can do better and faster. I still use the T400 way more at home for doing most things. I just got the T400 so I don't know if it will last as long as my old T22 has (still running when I sold it) but I hope so! It may not be the prettiest unit but it's light, fast, cheap and practical for the discriminating user. "
