Lenovo's ThinkPad Series, which is known for its bulky laptops, finally broke the trend to launch a new slim T400s laptop. Thin and lighter is the 'in-thing' for business class users and Lenovo has taken that into consideration for its new ThinkPad T400s. This model should not to be confused with the existing T400.

With support for up to 8GB DDR3 1066MHz memory, this notebook has Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics power. Also, an option to choose between slim DVD burner and Blu-ray drive is offered. Internet connectivity options include Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, and optional WWAN/ultrawideband/WiMAX connectivity. For multimedia cards, one can choose between ExpressCard slot and 5-in-1 media card reader.
The DisplayPort and VGA port will enable hooking up two monitors and built-in USB/eSATA port promises faster data transfer option. Keyboard is reworked by reducing space between keys and two keys appear to be bit larger than usual - Esc and Del keys. Better and louder on-board speakers for VoIP or podcasting have been provided. Also, a physical mute button lies on the keyboard for the built-in mic.
