The wait is over! The Lenovo ThinkPad T410 and ThinkPad T410s have been significantly anticipated by ThinkPad followers and now we can inform you, this has been well worth the wait. Equipped with the new Intel Dual-core, Core i5 and Core i7 CPU’s through the i5-529M 2.4GHz to the 2.66GHz i7-620M for the ThinkPad T410 with either i5-529M 2.4GHz as well as 2.53GHz i5-540M for the T410s, efficiency is exceptional.
With a starting price of $999 for the ThinkPad T410 and $1399 for the ThinkPad T410s they are also priced less than existing T Series.


Additionally the ThinkPad T410s has now been given the alternative of Nvidia switchable Discrete Graphics using 512 MB of VRAM to enhance graphic performance, one thing that has been somewhat lacking in the ThinkPad T400s.
Aesthetically the brand new ThinkPad T410 and also T410s are similar to the actual models they precede, the key difference of course being underneath the skin due to the Calpella architecture. And it is the brand-new architecture which has produced such a recognizable difference to the overall performance of the new T Series.
Design modifications are subtle, preserving the ‘Classic’ ThinkPad look and also apply primarily to the actual keyboard, touchpad and also function buttons. Both laptops have the brand new ThinkPad type flush fitting multi-touch Touch pad. The actual keyboard is exceptional and also does not display any of the flex linked to the release of the T400/T500 in the summertime of 2008.
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 up to 8 Gigabite 1333 MHz DDR4 (4 GB 1333 MHz x 2) ram as well as Harddrive options range from 80 to 128 GB SSD HDD or 160 GB up to a 500 GB (7200 RPM) Harddrive
There are several connectivity options with 4 USB, 1 being powered so that you can charge your music player, phone, or make use of just about any USB peripheral that requires power. The powered USB is color coded yellow and is ‘always on’, even if the device is in hibernate or even sleep mode.
Additionally, you will find 1 eSATA, IEEE 1394a, VGA, Display Port, Combo Jack, Express Card 34 mm as well as 5-in-1 MMC Reader, Optionally available Contact or Contact-less Smart Card Reader.
Display choices for the ThinkPad T410 will include a 14.1? WXGA 1280×800 16:10 aspect, 200Nit and also a 14.1? WXGA with a resolution of 1440 x 900 16:10 aspect, 200 Nit The ThinkPad T410s provides you with a choice of WXGA 1440 x 900 as well as WXGA 1440 x 900 MultiTouch. What is definitely likely to please a lot of people is that 16:10 aspect ratio stays on the 14.1” screens for the time being! It is actually going to 16:9 nonetheless on the T510 and W510. We can almost hear the howls of protest from here!
The ThinkPad design staff have made a great effort to improve communications with the ThinkPad T410 and ThinkPad T410s with a new 2 mega-pixel webcam, along with built-in VIOP function keys, and an LED indicator combined with the mute key.

The brand-new ThinkPad T410 and ThinkPad T410s are just what we anticipated on the outside, outstanding ThinkPad engineering, together with a sound feel. They look and really feel as if they have been machined out of a solid piece of black granite, together with a few understated style changes as well as improvements.
The real change on the other hand comes on the inside through the Calpella platform and the complete change in chip architecture which is designed to be able to produce energy savings thru lower energy consumption which in turn naturally offers excellent battery life. Calpella integrates the memory controller and PCI express controller providing increased performance and less bottlenecking,
Even the actual wireless chipset with adaptive snoozing automatically scales the radio down using a millisecond by millisecond power adjustment when data is not actively transmitting.
Exactly what really does all this add up to for the brand-new ThinkPad T410 along with ThinkPad T410s? Superior performance, superior graphics capability, but maybe the most important thing of all, greatly lowered energy consumption. This of course indicates we can expect outstanding battery life!
Combine the new 9 cell slice battery (bump battery) which is located beneath the 9 cell battery on the underside of the notebook and the ThinkPad T410 will provide you upwards to 22 hrs without mains power!
There can be no question that the ThinkPad T410 together with ThinkPad T410s carry on the long ThinkPad tradition of superiority in engineering, design and also build quality.
What actually stands out here is actually the way the actual Arrandale based mobile i5 and also i7 processors as well as the promise of the new Calpella platform have been applied and also fully realized. Lenovo has done a superb job with the ThinkPad T410 and the ThinkPad T410s. If you want the best 14? enterprise quality business laptop, dependent on your own budget, choose either and you will not go wrong.
