Your wait has ended! The Lenovo ThinkPad T410 and ThinkPad T410s have been significantly awaited by ThinkPad fans and now we can tell you, it has been well worth the wait. Designed with the brand new Intel Dual-core, Core i5 and Core i7 processors through the i5-529M 2.4GHz to the 2.66GHz i7-620M for the ThinkPad T410 and with a choice of i5-529M 2.4GHz or 2.53GHz i5-540M for the ThinkPad T410s, efficiency is actually exceptional.
With a base price of $999 for the ThinkPad T410 and $1399 for the ThinkPad T410s they are also priced less than existing T Series.
In addition the ThinkPad T410s has now been given the option of Nvidia switchable Discrete Graphics with 512 Megabytes of VRAM to further improve graphic performance, some thing that was slightly incomplete in the ThinkPad T400s.
Aesthetically the new ThinkPad T410 and T410s are similar to the actual models they precede, the primary difference obviously being under the skin as a result of Calpella architecture. And it is the brand-new architecture that has made such a discernable impact on the actual overall performance of the brand-new T Series.
Design modifications are subtle, keeping the ‘Classic’ ThinkPad look and apply primarily to the actual keyboard, touchpad as well as function buttons. The two notebooks have the new ThinkPad type flush fitting multi-touch Touchpad. The keyboard is exceptional and does not display any kind of of the flex linked to the release of the T400/T500 during the summer time of 08.
Both the ThinkPad T410 as well as the T410s support as much as 6 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 (4 GB 1333 Megahertz 2 GB 1067 MHz), or as much as 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR4 (4 GB 1333 MHz x 2) memory and Harddrive options range from 80 to 128 GB SSD HDD as well as 160 GB up to a 500 GB (7200 RPM) Harddrive
There are numerous connectivity options together with 4 USB, 1 being powered so that you can charge your ipod, phone, or make use of just about any USB peripheral that has to have power. The powered USB is color coded yellow and is ‘always on’, even if the device is in hibernate as well as sleep mode.
You will also find 1 eSATA, IEEE 1394a, VGA, Display Interface, Combination Jack port, Express Card 34 mm and 5-in-1 MMC Reader, Optional Contact as well as Contact-less Smart Card Reader.
Screen choices for the ThinkPad T410 will include a 14.1″ WXGA 1280×800 16:10 aspect, 200Nit and also a 14.1″ WXGA having a resolution of 1440 by 900 16:10 aspect, 200 Nit The ThinkPad T410s has either WXGA 1440 x 900 as well as WXGA 1440 x 900 Multi-touch. What’s definitely likely to please lots of people is the fact that 16:10 aspect ratio remains on the 14.1” screens for the time being! It is actually going to 16:9 however on the T510 as well as W510. We could nearly hear the howls of protest from here!
The ThinkPad design staff have made a fantastic effort to improve communications with the ThinkPad T410 and ThinkPad T410s with the latest 2 mega-pixel webcam, along with built-in VIOP function keys, and an LED indicator combined with the actual mute button.

I cannot count the number of times this has drawn comments from fellow air travellers!
The new ThinkPad T410 and ThinkPad T410s are precisely what we expected on the outside, outstanding ThinkPad engineering, with a solid feel. They look as well as really feel as if they have been machined out of a solid chunk of black granite, with a number of understated design changes as well as improvements.
The true change however comes on the inside from the actual Calpella platform along with the comprehensive advances in chip architecture which is designed to deliver energy savings thru reduced power usage which in turn naturally offers superior battery life. Calpella integrates the memory controller as well as PCI express controller providing increased performance and less bottlenecking,
Even the actual wireless chipset with adaptive snoozing automatically scales your radio down using a millisecond by millisecond energy adjustment when data is not actively transmitting.
Exactly what does all this add up to for the brand-new ThinkPad T410 along with ThinkPad T410s? Exceptional overall performance, superior graphics capability, but perhaps the most critical thing of all, greatly decreased power consumption. This of course indicates we may anticipate stellar battery life!
Incorporate the new 9 cell slice battery (bump battery) which is located beneath the 9 cell battery on the bottom of the notebook and the ThinkPad T410 will provide you upwards to 22 hours without mains power!
There can be no uncertainty that the ThinkPad T410 along with ThinkPad T410s carry on the very long ThinkPad tradition of excellence in engineering, design and build quality.
What really stands out right here is the way the Arrandale based mobile i5 and also i7 processors as well as the promise of the new Calpella platform have really been executed and fully realized. Lenovo has done a fantastic job with the ThinkPad T410 and the ThinkPad T410s. If you need the finest 14″ enterprise quality business laptop, dependent on your own spending budget, choose either and you will not go wrong.
