My T420 review

As I promised over at the ThinkPads.com forum, I've done a full review of my new T420.



I hope this helps anyone who's considering the notebook. Please accept my apologies in advance for any mangled grammar or wince-inducing typos.

Awesome Review. You've help me make a final decision on purchasing the t420.

Plenty of reviews to come will have the usual assortment of pictures. I was more interested in reviewing the stuff that users such as myself care about but that most reviews never seem to cover, or never seem to cover in enough depth.

I'd think the switch from 16:10 to 16:9 might merit a few snaps.

Picture the display assembly of the T410. Now picture it with a slightly shorter panel that's about the same width. There you go.



Kidding aside, I honestly don't think I can do a better job than Lenovo did with their press shots. There's really not much difference, and even if I did take pictures there's only so much that you could do with a BlackBerry's camera and low-power CFL lighting...

Really liked the review, pretty much agree with you on all points although I don't have a T410 for comparison. I'm coming from a T61 so it's quite a jump for me. This is actually the first laptop I've ever bought brand new and I'm very happy with my decision.

Thanks very much for your review. I will read it in detail over the next 24 hours. Rebuilding a W520 from the ground up at the moment.



I expect my T420s to ship tomorrow. So with any luck I'll have some detailed thoughts on it in about 2 weeks.

Nice review, thanks. Does your keyboard seem more glossy, than the one on your T410, because mine does, and the Caps Lock key does not seems as black as the other keys and the surface also seems different?
