The same is true for the power cord users who hoped to employ a travel power cord or a higher performing variant will have to go out and buy new versions. It is a pity that Lenovo altered its docking interface other available docking stations from the current notebook generation can no longer be used with this machine. On the other hand, the docking station offers numerous other connectivity options in stationary use. These can also no longer be attached via an ExpressCard.

The available ports cover a wide segment of the connectivity spectrum and offer the right connection for many situations.īy now, though, users must forswear nearly exotic ports like FireWire and eSATA. The test machine weighs 2,220 grams (~4.9 pounds), almost exactly 700 grams (~1.5 pounds) more than the ThinkPad T440s. While these weak points should not cause any ill effects in overall stability and everyday use, they do add up to a blemish on the machine's overall impression in such a high price class. The area above the battery compartment is also in need of improvement when the battery is absent, it can be compressed with even minor force. Between the unchanged (and excellent) display hinges, the display frame is quite bendable, belying our previous impression of premium quality. On the right side, the part of the wrist rest that sits above the optical drive and smart card reader is easy to compress. Still, we found the same weak points in the case that we earlier identified in the ThinkPad T430. All in all, the ThinkPad T440p's optics are first-class this is definitely from the typical ThinkPad mold. It is somewhat more finely textured, its look and feel is pleasing, and it resists fingerprints longer than its predecessors can. As we noted in our review of the Lenovo ThinkPad T440s, our ThinkPad T440p uses the new surface material of the current models' generation.
