Cutting the wrong corners? The deductions in casing, screen and configuration make the ThinkPad T450 a comparatively affordable alternative to the high-end T450s model. However, the buyer should carefully consider whether the money saved really makes up for the drawbacks.

Not allowing the T450 to be configured with a 1080p IPS screen was a poor decision on Lenovo's part.
On the other hand, that makes the L450 with 1080p IPS even more attractive. I'm looking forward to when you guys review that model. Hopefully, your review model will be configured with the 5200U, 8GB (4GBx2) and 14" 1080p IPS. It sounds like a perfect low cost option compared to the T450s.
Dell Latidude E6 and Thinkpad T are frozen to TN displays?
if it has tn, then it is beaten by quadcore E6430 with 3740QM 52W quadcore .
T450 has absolutely horrible screen. When you first see this after any! smartphone you want just through lenovo out of the window.
