Lenovo ThinkPad T400s experience evaluation

Since last Tuesday to get the ThinkPad T400s has just 10 days. Before writing this article, was simply to write a basic feeling of the first test:
Of course, just so ThinkPad T400s also failed to reveal the inside, including the "appearance of articles," but also from the appearance to talk about the situation and the use of some T400s feel, more or stay in the next week dismantling the T400s look in depth articles what happens. These ten days, I strive to be the main model to use as T400s, including work and after work, including the use of the system and driver installation, the software used to install and use, use of some components, this paper will combine these ten days usage of the various parts of the T400s look for a basic introduction. It should be noted that this involved "the appearance of articles" means not opened any of a screw under the T400s have seen part of the case.

    T Series ThinkPad T400s is the first model with s words, is the only Lenovo introduced this year a new ThinkPad models, the machine design while using ThinkPad X300/301 above the successful design, but also with above the X series of thin and light design, launch integration, and thus named T400s. T400s hp pavilion dv9000 battery  naturally means that it is a 14.1-inch widescreen models, the standard resolution of WXGA + (1440x900), and built-in optical drive, a weight of 2kg below the first T-series models. The introduction of ThinkPad T400s with X200s, X301 away with the response, together constitute three boutique business model, its market position is also relatively similar, a higher price than the T400 group. ThinkPad T400s several key features are:

    1, the necessary performance. Compared with the T400, T400s although significantly reduced the weight of 1.8kg or less, but still with a 1066MHz FSB, 6MB L2 cache of SP9400/9600 series processors, frequency of 2.4 or 2.53GHz, with the T400 compared to the unambiguous This is naturally X200s and X301 can not match; and now the only place where the performance impact of T400s is its only a 1.8-inch MicroSATA interface hard drive or SSD, 1.8-inch HDD is only due to the current 5400, and the performance in general, so if you do not using the SSD, then, T400s T400 performance can not match the natural, of course, if you use a SSD, it will come up immediately on the performance, the current configuration of the original T400s main components of the series is Toshiba SSD, the nominal read performance 200MB / s, Write 150MB / s or more, belong to the mainstream SSD in a good performance. Of course, T400s in the display performance of the above is still only use integrated graphics, but to the first quarter of next year, a new generation of T400s (the T410s when to call it) will be further integrated graphics card, in turn will further enhance the overall performance.

    2, strong scalability. In addition to using the CD-ROM drive compatible with the T400 outside, T400s also retained the docking interface, while the built-in card reader can also be replaced Express/34 interface;, while retaining the two USB ports and Display Interface, and added eSATA interface, which is also the history of the first ThinkPad models with eSATA interface, so the interface scalability, T400s can be described as the current X, T Series king. Of course, T400s is the T series in the history of the first models to give a PCMCIA interface, if the users that need to take notice.

    3, the portability of a breakthrough. This is my first wife T400s 250GB 1.8-inch hard drive, the model is MK2529GSG, electronic scales show the weight of 60g; equipped with Rambo, model UJ862AC, weighing about 135g; with half-height Intel WiFi Link 5300 wireless card, two 2GB DDR3 memory, WWAN and UWB slot is empty, in this case, said electronic display weighs 1.78kg, if you install only one memory, and the manufacturers claim that the 1.77kg weight should be basically the same. It can be said for many years, ThinkPad T series once tried to break through the bottleneck of 2kg, especially when introduced in the T40 muster a great deal of courage, did not expect or not mature enough, then start using the T60 Rollcage (roll cage), but went up a lot of weight, two to three years to a new generation of thin X300 models represented achieved design success, and T400s is the successful experience of using the corresponding order in the original series is basically designed to ensure that T based on the weight not only exceeded 2kg, 1.8kg and dropped to the following.
