Incomplete. The Lenovo ThinkPad T440p belongs to a line of classic business notebooks and aims itself at professional users in particular. With high-performance components, multifaceted interface options, a large battery, and the usual ease in installing upgrades, the signs are all good. We comprehensively tested whether the ThinkPad T440p is really convincing in the final analysis.

Looking forward to the display test update (IPS fhd). Some reviewers talk about "Flexview Renaissance", can't wait notebookcheck to put it under scrutiny! Might be the main selling point of this laptop.

It is not thinkpad! It's look like a sh.t. It is a sh!t.
Very f@cking thanks china.
Lenovo how can't you understand, thinkpad is thinkpad, high premium, not consum sh.t like slim Mac or...other. In this segment no need slim bullsh.t design.
Should buy a new laptop for me...but i can't becase, i don't want to buy other, just old stlye TP...but this...
...and the new X1 carbon...it is... bad joke

yes TP fan, you're right, this isn't business claas. I've bought TP430 - it's same sh.t. For me, mostly because of unuseable keyboard, second - poor display (not at least IPS). I've known old TP keyboards, but there is mounted.,... bad joke, and they still aren't changing anythink. At word, we have Dell Latitude - they seem OK, this year our company changes to HP EliteBook's... - we'll see.  I was planning to buy more TP, fitting to docking, but as Isee, I have to change - all is going wronger and wronger,  no sign of better (return to old quality) things....   :-(

Any ideas when the mentioned display section update (IPS FHD) is due?

after reading the reviews of x240, x1 gen2, t440p an reviewing the changes done to the keyboar ive decided not longer to buy thinkpads after being a heavy user of thinkpads for more than 13 years and 6 different models.

I just got one of these from IT, and this product is a piece of s***.  The docking station is unable to support USB Keyboard and Mice.  To run more than one monitor, the docking station is needed, otherwise the on-board VGA port simply mirrors what on the LCD screen.  A truly disappointing product.

I absolutely love my old T400 notebook, this is why I stick with Lenovo. Unfortunately this new model is big disappointment, and a very expensive one!

I paid around 1k euros for mine with GTX730M and core i5.

My goal was to find a compromise between work and gaming system, this laptop is a mixture of both but far from both ends.

As for a work laptop, do NOT buy this laptop if you work in linux and you regularly need the F1-F12 function keys since these are only available with holding down the Fn button. I don't get it why did Lenovo remove these very useful keys.

Second is the LED status indicators, working in the IT you just want to know what is your laptop doing (regardless what's on the screen). Is the hdd loading something, are you getting packets on wifi, is the capslock turned on. On this laptop there is no indicator at all!

The touchpad is completely unusable, I'm not a pointer user like many other ThinkFans. The touchpad is so sensitive that if a second finger or palm gets near it it notices it and since it isn't a multitouch programs will act stranegly like you will be thrown on your workspace 3 in kde.
You need to get use to keeping your second hand way over it. The rightclick leftclick on the touch area doesn't work as intended as well so if you planning on getting this laptop you might need a normal mouse.


How does it perform on the other end as a gaming computer? Well the 730M takes Skyrim well with Ultrahigh graphics although the fans are really noisy. Also if you use your laptop for gaming then you definitely looking for SSD or SSD+HDD hybrid solution since Windows7 bothering the disk all the time, even with disabling a lot of unnecessary services. The resolution of this isn't the best for videogames either.

The audio jack -as many people complained for it- driving me crazy. You basically have to decide if you want to play a game with headphone all the way or not. If you pull out your headphone there will be no sound anymore. You have to actually quit back to windows and restart the game again. For many games in fullscreen mode like Skyrim the ALT+TAB doesn't work well which means you always have to close them if you want to do something in windows. I'm not sure that it's related to the optimus driver or win7 or the game but I never had these type of problems on my desktop machine.

One of the part where the thinkpads having the greatest disadvantage is when you switching between OS-es. This laptop for example puts the usb port in a state where your usb mouse works from linux but if you just reboot the laptop into windows the mouses lights doesnt show up and it's not responding (no matter which port do you plug it into). In order to get your mouse back you have to poweroff the laptop and boot into windows.

This laptop isn't really a compromise between gaming and work system (you can find much better type for both). Also with brand new battery, with regular usage (youtube, music, videos, some gaming, internet) the battery last about 2 hours. If I would have to put this on a scale from 0 to 10 where 10 are the gaming systems and 0 are the work systems it would be somewhere on 7.

If you are big lenovo fan and love the thinkpad logo with the blinking led and the chrome cover and you are looking for an entry level gaming laptop that's the only case you should buy this one.

For work there are hundred times better ultrabooks and for gaming there are hundred times better desktop replacement laptops.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to ask if anyone knows the model number which T440p used under 1366*768 resolution.

Thanks in advance.

Hey.

Are you sure the touchpad is glass. I have the t440p, the touchpad has a shiny orb in the middle after using it for 2 weeks. Eraser filing type things came of the touchpad. Although the spot is there the touchpad is fine in terms of useability.

Hi, I can't find external graphics card (nvidia 730M) and I can't run with it. Now intel 4600 running and this is very bad for gaming or some working. I need help
