Lenovo T400 6474-VJ9

Sitting comfortably in the middle of the middle of Lenovo's ThinkPad family, the T series offers a strong combination of value, performance, and portability; the 14.1-inch T400 is less bulky than Lenovo's small-business SL series or cost-conscious R series, and less expensive than the ultraportable X series or ultrapowerful W series. At $1,549, this business notebook offers such high-end features as switchable graphics, as well as long battery life and great ergonomics. In other words, it's everything you expect from a ThinkPad.
