there can be placed various batteries (differs by capacity), the smallest one has 4 cells. for the czech republic there is adapter 90W in the package but you can also buy 65W one which is smaller as you can see. the notebook has 2 graphic cards and we can now take a look on how it looks when switching between them during run time. the graphic choosing is done by pre-installed utility and switching itself is almost instant."
"in this short video we gonna take a look on a notebook Lenovo ThinkPad T400... rough handling shouldnt be problem, battery is moving when used the one which exceeds the size of notebook. due to the weight reduction the keyboard underlay reinforcement is bearing down; not noticable whily typing. cd/dvd rom can be replaced by another battery / HDD / serial-parallel port during the run time.
I bought my T400 almost a year ago with Win7 Ultimate and have nooooo complaints. I agree, Lenovo has fixed some issues that were brought up and it is by far a solid Thinkpad.
I just recieved a new T400 from my employer and the computer does NOT exhibit the flex shown in this video. the flex issue has been resolved. There is slight flex, but there will be in any laptop with a plastic body. If you don't want any flex buy a new macbook or macbook pro with the new aluminum unibody.
hey mine actually arrived yesterday and i can tell you there is very little keyboard flex. the laptop i had before was the Dell Inspiron 700m and if you read its reviews, you'll find that its keyboard had literally no flex. So, expecting a flimsy keyboard from all these ppl and having come from a good keyboard myself, i can say that the T400's keyboard is up to par.
i read Lenovo refreshed the T400 with a new keyboard, so these videos are probably out of date
I would customize it new, and that way your not getting a surprise. :-) But then again you have to wait a long time to get it, and for it to go through customs. Then when you get your machine, hopefully your not too picky about the build quality and engineering. Also hopefully you don't have to always send your machine in to be fixed by some backyard tech junkies. They need to use CMM machines to check the laptops when there design. However, the Japanese should engineer the thinkpads!
3 months in and my T400 works great. can't wait to upgrade it to Win7. Also, if you read up on Lenovo news, all laptops they make post-October 22 will be optimized for Windows 7, making it even faster than before. ("Enhanced Experience" or EE--it's mostly bios update and registry tweaks)
In the newer models of T400 they fixed the flex problem somewhat, I believe. Also, the beauty with these pcs, you can order parts from IBM, personally I ordered a T60 keyboard for my T400, which is rock solid and fully compatible. Keep in mind though, the new keyboard is lighter and have more holes for cooling, so its all about priorities.
well, i owned one... the quality is superb.. the keyboard, body, everything is rock solid.. this video is certainly a misleading one... i confirm, cause i own it...
Nasty flex in the keyboard!!! Lenovo has messed up big time the best feature of the Thinkpads the keyboard. Oh, Lenovo you are the death sentence of ThikPad!!! I am so sorry that IBM sold the best laptops trademark to inexperienced Chanise engineers!!! Unless they drastically improve the quality, I am not buying Thinkpads anymore, and I will tell all my businessmen friends not to do the mistake!
Yes , but the customer service blows. I had got a T61 brand new machine from the outlet, and the top LCD Cover was warped. Had an arch like tunnel in the screen and the depot failed twice even on a raid. Then customer delight, Steve Grisom and Gregg, they wouldn't give me a discount on a second machine. Your better off going with a macbook pro prev gen. However, if things do change I might reconsider. Tigerdirect and newegg ship fast, and have great customer service. You don't experience issues.

These videos -are- out of date. Find the video by Notebookreview from a couple of months ago, and it'll show you that Lenovo's updated them.
Did you get yours from the outlet?

the secret lies in the CPU's, with the new fixed keyboard they also slightly bumped CPU speeds,
look for a P8700, P8800, T9600, P9500, T9900 anything else is from the old models...

Or you could try the new Dell Precisions, which are certainly good enough to compete.
