Also 14 inch wide is smaller than 14 inch standard, so the same res would make things smaller on a wide screen.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/I'm guessing this notebook has a 16:10 screen.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/
It's the fact that OSes STILL aren't resolution independent, so high DPI screens end up just having smaller text, rather than the same size text at higher quality. Myself, I like that, but for the most part, high DPI screens flopped in the market. (The cost didn't help, either. IIRC, the QXGA panel was a $1400 option on the R50p. Of course, the market is flooded with NOS (that's New Old Stock, not Nitrous Oxide Systems,) panels - you can get a new one for $115, and a refurbished one for $59, now. Toss that into a T60p, and you've got yourself a quite decent system - and mine will end up under $500 by the time I've got the stock LCD sold.)

For that matter, they flopped even in Japan, where a very high DPI screen makes sense for normal use, to display Kanji. (That panel was first marketed in 2002 in a NEC machine.)]]>Jun 23rd 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/

My point is that even some business users need graphics cards. 3D tasks are not limited to games. I wouldn't be able to work without a discrete graphics card.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/
The Macbook Air doesn't have a graphics card. It still uses integrated, just a better performing integrated solution.

Designing this, I'm sure Lenovo only has business users in mind. By business, I mean office-workers. People who don't need any sort of advanced graphics power. If people want a multimedia Lenovo, there's always the Ideapad line.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/Jun 23rd 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that Lenovo's plastic is not as the old IBM's plastic.. not as sturdy..? Whenever I squeeze mine on the side it gives a little and it feels like it is going to break.

Does the T400s give on the side?]]>Jun 23rd 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-thinkpad-t400s-hands-on-and-impressions/

the T400s is a thinner, sleaker version of the T400 so it wont support a discrete option; the thing has to stay Thinkpad cool and quiet.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 11:28AM
