I am pretty impressed with the T400. So are the customers.

There's a pretty major difference in hardware between a T400 and a T410s.
(as I typed this I saw Mitch already replied, so I'll not repeat him
further).
Mitch, My organization is moving all T60 / T61 users to the T400s --
didn't
go 410s to save a few $$ I suspect. I've had mine for a couple of days...
pretty nice. the LED LCD is really too bright at full 'volume' for my
likes,
so I run it at about 3/4 brightness. I don't care for the non-4:3 ratio
too
much. I like my vertical space :) Keyboard is great. I even left the
touchpad enabled so far -- though I doubt I'll convert from the
trackpoint.

"S")
retail for $750.
The hit is quite real

Subject: [Thinkpad] T410s base model
Last week I set up a customer's T410s. Very nice machine, but it was
around $2800 with upgrades and docking station. I configured one for
myself,
just the base model, the only additions are:
4 gigs RAM in 2 DIMMs
5-1 Media Card Reader
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (3x3 AGN)
Cost comes to $1286.90 with an employee discount.
That is quite reasonable for a new high end laptop. I figure I can
upgrade to a SSD in a few months, and upgrade to 8 gigs of RAM when
prices
come down on the 4 gig sticks.
Seem reasonable? Am I missing anything with the base model vs. the
"Enhanced" or "Elite" models?
Also I have read a couple of reviews saying the standard LCD is
terrible.
The one I saw this week looked quite nice?
-Mitch
