17 Sep 09 Thin and Light With Powerful Performance in Latest ThinkPad Laptop
Inspired by Lenovo’s thinnest and lightest full-function laptop, the featherweight ThinkPad X300 , Lenovo engineered its latest laptop, the ThinkPad T400s, to be super-slim at just 21 mm thin1 and ultra-light starting under 1.8 Kg2. The laptop achieves its skinny frame thanks to the thin 14.1-inch LED screen, solid state drive storage and the second generation Top Cover Roll Cage, which Lenovo first introduced in the ThinkPad X300 laptop. The roll cage’s monocoque carbon reinforced fiber, also used in bicycle frames and airplanes, helps keep the laptop extremely light yet surprisingly sturdy. With this design the laptop weighs nearly 20 percent less than its Thinkpad T400 predecessor, also making it much thinner and lighter than the Dell E6400 and HP 6930P laptops.
Lenovo ThinkPad
We’ve created products like our ThinkPad T400s laptop to bring thin and light computing to mainstream corporate users,” said Peter Hortensius, senior vice president, ThinkPad, Lenovo. “We’ve applied thoughtful design in balancing the need for greater portability with strong performance and usability.”
Loaded for Performance
The ThinkPad T Series is comprised of Lenovo’s most powerful and performance-heavy laptops. The ThinkPad T400s laptop allows users to enjoy the best of both worlds – thin and light mobility without sacrificing the powerful performance they need.
The laptop comes with:
- · Choices of Intel® 2.53 GHz Core™2Duo processors (standard voltage) and graphics
· Choices of solid state drive storage up to 128 GB or 250 GB hard drive storage
· 9.5 mm slim DVD burner or Blu-Ray player
· Ethernet, WiFi and optional WWAN3 and Bluetooth
· 34mm Express Card slot or 5-in-1 multimedia card reader
· Nearly six hours of battery life
· Supports up to two monitors via a Display Port and VGA connector
· Meets the Energy Star 5.0 criteria for energy efficiency
· Built-in USB/eSATA port

10 Sep 09 Nokia E52 – Evolution Not Revolution
While Nokia’s N-series smartphones are aimed primarily at those looking for a feature-packed but fun handset, the E-series has always been targeted more towards business users. We were quite fond of the original E51, as we liked its ease of use and impressive messaging features, so, with Nokia having nearly two years to work on the follow-up, we had high expectations for the E52.
From the outset, it’s clear that this update is more of an evolution than revolution. In terms of design, it doesn’t stray all that far from the original E51. It retains the same tall and narrow design, with a large, square direction pad in the centre and tapered sides that frame the keypad at the bottom. The E52 is a good deal slimmer though, measuring a mere 10mm at its thickest point. It’s lighter too, tipping the scales at just 98g. There are also some welcome new features, including a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can use your own headphones, as well as a standard micro-USB port for charging and syncing with a PC.
Nokia E52
Not everyone wants a smartphone with a touchscreen and loads of entertainment features. Many people just want a device with long battery life, great call quality and a few applications to help them read and edit work documents on the move. This is the market that Nokia is aiming for with the traditional-looking E52.

07 Jul 09 Lenovo Removes the Delete button from the keyboard
Lenovo put nearly a year of research into two design changes that debuted on an updated ThinkPad laptop this week. No, not the thinner, lighter
form or the textured touchpad — rather, the extra-large “Delete” and “Escape” keys.
It may seem like a small change, but David Hill, vice president of corporate identity and design at Lenovo, points out, “Any time you start messing around with the keyboard, people get nervous.”
Computers get smaller and faster every year, but keyboard design remains largely stuck in the 19th century. When Beijing-based Lenovo, which bought IBM Corp.’s personal-computer business in 2005, looked into improving the keyboard on the new ThinkPad T400s, a $1,600-and-up laptop for businesspeople, it knew it had to proceed with caution.
To understand Lenovo’s concern, turn the clock back to the 1800s.
Back then, fast typing would jam typewriters, so a keyboard layout that slowed down flying fingers was devised. The commonly used “A” key, for example, was banished to the spot under the relatively uncoordinated left pinky.
Typewriter technology evolved. Mainframe computing led to function keys and others of uncertain use today. The PC era dawned. Yet many laws of keyboard layout remain sacred, like the 19-millimeter distance between the centers of the letter keys.
Tom Hardy, who designed the original IBM PC of 1981, said companies have tried many times to change the sizes of keys. That first PC had a smaller “Shift” key than IBM’s popular Selectric typewriter did, and it was placed in a different spot, in part because the industry didn’t think computers would replace typewriters for high-volume typing tasks.
IBM reversed course with the next version to quiet the outcry from skilled touch-typists.
“Customers have responded with a resounding, ‘Don’t fool with the key unless you can you can improve it,’” said Hardy, now a design strategist based in Atlanta.
PC makers relearned this lesson in the past year, as netbooks — tiny, cheap laptops — have become popular with budget-conscious consumers. Early models boasted screens measuring as little as 7 inches on the diagonal, requiring shrunken keyboards that many people found to be too small. Some even repeated IBM’s mistake by cutting the size of the “Shift” key.
The computer makers have largely shifted focus to 10-inch or larger netbooks, so that there’d be room for near-standard keyboards or better.
Push-back from consumers hasn’t stopped companies from testing and even manufacturing keyboards with unconventional designs over the years, in some cases demonstrating that people could learn to type faster than on standard QWERTY keyboards, so-called because of the arrangement of the top row of letters. During Hardy’s time at IBM, researchers came up with ball-shaped one-handed keyboards that he said were faster than standard ones.
“A lot of those things never passed the business planners and the bean counters because they were concerned about manufacturing something that was just basically an experiment,” Hardy said.

24 Jun 09 New Lenovo Thinkpad T400s- 1 of d Sweetest
The ThinkPad T-series is the Cadillac of business notebooks, but, as General Motors will tell you, nobody’s so good that that they wouldn’t benefit from a little trimming.
That’s exactly what Lenovo has done with the T400s, its latest revision to company’s popular T400. But Lenovo knows better than to screw around too much with a good thing.
Clad in that familiar black shell, the 14.1-inch laptop (screen resolution: 1440 x 900 pixels) has a case that’s only about 4/5 of an inch thick and just under 4 pounds, a whole pound lighter than the T400. Apparently the s tacked onto the end of T400 stands for “svelte.”
Performance is simply outstanding: While graphics are a tad weak due to the lack of a video card, the high-end CPU (the newest Core 2 Duo SP9600, running at 2.53 GHz), 2 GB of RAM and 128-GB solid-state drive give the T400s plenty of juice to power through general apps, running rings around nearly all other notebooks we’ve benchmarked this year. The screen, now backlit by LEDs, is also dazzlingly bright — one of the brightest on the market, especially in this size class. Netbook and MacBook Air users, take a back seat: There’s also a DVD burner.
ThinkPad geeks will most enjoy the little tweaks that Lenovo has given the T400s: The Esc and Delete keys are now double-sized for easier access, and though the speakers still suck, at least the unit features better volume controls, including a dedicated microphone On/Off button. A 2-megapixel webcam with dual microphones rests atop the LCD, and then there’s the textured, multitouch touchpad — now flush with the palm rest — that is possibly the most comfortable touchpad we’ve ever used.
