@BabyProXav I'm thinking about bying this thinkpad. I need laptop mostly for photoshop, design, some programming etc.. But what you think is it worth to purchase over Dell Latitude E5450 5th gen 14'. They're the same price where im buying, both 8 GB RAM, just the Thinkpad is ssd and Dell is hdd, both 12 mounts waranty. I can't decide which one to chose..
@BabyProXav That's why i would rather use ssd 'cuse it's faster, even if it's 180 GB in him Il find some extern box like u said if it wouldn't be enough for start.. Well, il get free instaled Windows 10 on him so that's good.. Thanks for advice, now i'm thinking more to buy it. I was sceptic cuse it's a little bit older machine but it's all gone now..
Everything's good, and it seems that my non-touch display looks better than Lisa's touch screen. BTW, I installed a sata SSD, and with 4+8=12 GB of RAM, I can do light photo editing with Photoshop CC 2018 without any problems.
周达 Dude that’s awesome , how is the battery life for you? I been contemplating buying one off of eBay ips screen , but not sure if is non-touch screen.
I use the 6-cell external battery, and the machine can last for around 5 hours browsing the web, although the two batteries have lost some of their capacity over the years. I don't know if you could ask the seller to check the screen, and battery condition. I bought this laptop in China...
Giving my apple macbook pro to my mom and as a college student on a budget also, I'm getting this for 200$. Fuck spending oblivious amounts just to get robbed off campus. Aint nobody gonna touch my cheap think pad
Is Lenovo T440s (Non touch screen model), a great laptop for Web development, Photoshop and for multi tasking? How's it's performance? What are the pros and cons, I need sincere comments from the users of this laptop. Thanks.
The way you beautifully described the Lenovo T440s (the words you used, your tonality, slang ("clickity, clackaty"), etc.) made me fall in love with it. I just bought it online. Thank you!
This computer is just ridiculous. Beautiful touch screen, fantastic keyboard, fantastic battery time and tough as nails. I'll be using this for many more years with Debian. :)
I m very poor.I need this to work in online to lead my Family.Please Please give me 1 laaptop I have only 50$ please.I will Greatfull to you in my Life.
Hi Lisa, thumb up for this review on the Lenovo T440s. Tough this review is from 3 years ago but it made me buy this machine yesterday (23-06-2017) and yes a refurbished one. I'm pretty much happy with it (as a die hard Thinkpad fan :-) ). Like your reviews. Keep on the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands, Deventer.
I'm the rare user that wants this laptop for the TrackPoint, but it's true.... This Lenovo has a problem called the MacBook Air. For $1400 I can have a capable, durable laptop, or I can have a capable, durable laptop machined from a single ingot of alluminum. I might still take the ThinkPad, but I don't know who else would.

Hi Lisa, awesome review as always! As a computer engineering student on a budget, would you still recommend this Thinkpad in an i7, 256GB SSD configuration?
can't decide between this and the ux303ln I can afford both, but I don't know if I need the thinkpad. I would like to have a good keyboard, keyboard is very important to me but is it really worth paying like 200€ (or even more) more just to get the thinkpad with a little bit(?) better keyboard?...
Niko Yes but actually only the T440p has much processing power. The rest of the series are good in build quality but are using underpowered processors, thus are as powerful as a Macbook Air or a Dell Latitude (not E series). I would suggest you search a bit more so you spare yourself some money. Latitudes are good in build quality as well. If you want it for casual use, browsing etc, I would suggest going for something more affordable. The good thing with these T and Xs though is you can get extended warranty. I wouldn't go overboard with these. An i5 and 8gb of ram are more than enough for casual use, so don't spend a fortune on it. Another nice and cheap series is the Flex but they only have 1yr warranty. Check the Lenovo Outlet also, as it has good deals. You may be able to get a T430 or T430s for example and extend its warranty with a fraction of the cost which is a much better machine than the T440s.
Efstathios Zavvos hi there, do you still think a T430 is enough? I need a laptop for programming on the go (c++, java) and I also have a powerful PC at home.
Yeah, but it depends on the nature of your work. Programming applications and programming and running simulations for example are two different things. I believe a powerful t430 should be more than enough for on the go programming. It will definitely be more powerful than any U underpowered processor.
Ligher and ligher? My 4 year old T410s is about 3.1 lb, when I add ultrabay battery is about 4.1 lb (and I can use it for about 6-7 hours) and I have DVD player with it IF I desire. So, T440s is not that attractive.
I just ordered one t440s with the high res display. 1900x1080 or whatever. What is the thickness. I was hoping to get the .8 inch thick but Lenovos website keeps saying the t440s is 1.18 inch or something. Maybe I should have bought the X1 carbon.
Hi.. ANYONE PLEASE HELP?.. I have T440.. but i cant open the cam. anyone please? Im using T440 for drawing and i love it works wll for autocad... but i cant open the camera..thats the only thing. Please help.
I'm deciding between this and the U530. Lenovo is selling both with i7 and 8GB RAM for around $800. The main differences are that the U530 has touch and a sleeker design, but the T440 is more rugged, has better battery life, and better color. What do you recommend?
Thanks for the great reviews Lisa! Your reviews are always the best I can find on the web. I was wondering if the non-touch display on T440s is matte or is it the same as the touchscreen display in terms of glare?
It is a great design but I have read that Lenovo customer service and their repair depot is horrendous. My Ideapad y510p has been at their sevice depot for over a month due to back ordered parts. Buy their products at your own risk and visit their online forums before purchasing.
Can you compare the X1 carbon haswell with this t440s together? on paper, the x1 c is 0.55" compared to the t440s 0.80" but from most youtube videos, it seems the t440s is much thicker than x1 carbon, like more than twice the thickness?
Bit worried about this "milky screen" I would go for the full HD non-touch version, does it still have the same problem? Coming from a macbook pro 5,2 17-inch. Need something portable. Don't need amazing graphics card.
I miss think pads like the x220/230, they were much smaller than this, but they had full laptop cpu instead of the ULV's. I believe think pads have gone down in quality after they discontinued those models.
Sponsors look how good she is! My T440s is arriving Tomorrow! i5-4200U,4G,1T,FHD Touch,6-cell Rear Battery,7260AC Going to replace a 128G M2 SSD as boot drive and 4G more ram.
One thing I like to add, I was doing a motorbike across Vietnam during monsoon season. I was stuck in a flooded road and my bag fell off the bike and got soaked. The laptop was submerged in the muddy water. I thought it was all lost but it did boot up then power went out. A day later, it booted again and functioned normally. It's been 4 month and the lcd still has water smudge in the back screen but it is fully functional.
I just bought one of these, it arrived with a big white blob in the middle of the screen. I sent it back and have received a replacement with no problems. However within a day white blobs have appeared on the monitor again. They seem to be consistant with pressure marks, but in the day I've had it, it has been sat on a desk and just been opened and closed a couple of times and I've noticed anothe white blob at the bottom of this monitor as well. Not sure whether I can be bothered to send it back again. I don't think Lisa is correct in saying it's rugged as this seems to be a common issue in this and other similar ThinkPad models, so watch out for that. I think it's only an issue with certain types of panel, so does depend on that, but from various forum posts I've seen it seems to be a common issue. It seems in some cases it's covered by warranty, in others it's classed as damage. forum.notebookreview.com/threads/white-spot-in-the-middle-of-the-screen.744454/ forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T/T440s-White-spots-on-display/td-p/1673915 forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T/T420s-white-spots-on-display/td-p/730935
Everything else is fine for me, I just don't understand why Lenovo get ride fo the physical mouse buttons. I am a long time X series user. How can I use the tracking point+ physical button combo from now one? BTW, the new X1 carbon lacks physical functional buttons is also a very bad news for all programmers. We do use a lot of F keys..maybe X1 carbon is just not designed for us...
My guess, they had to get rid of the physical buttons to fit a big trackpad. Everybody nowadays seems to need a huge trackpad. I never use trackpad, so for me it sucks :/.
the USB port on the right side (when looking at the screen) is not 3.0 but USB 2 from what I can determine. The ones on the other side are in fact USB 3.0
OMG nice design for a 2014 "Ultrabook"... looks like it has 10 years or more I really hope they don't ruin Motorola :( just compare the Moto X with this "Ultrabook"
Great review as always, great features but kinda ancient look despite it being new...is the material hard plastic or vapor magnesium? If none-of-the-above, what it is?
I just picked up a t430, depending on who you talk to the last of the real thinkpads. It has an i5 3370m, 8gb of ram and a 260 Intel based SSD. It's also the high res model with Nvidia nvs 5400m and it's in great shape. I am not one for the Chicklet keyboard but that can be swapped, but my main purpose is to run Mint Linux on it. Works as one might expect out of the box. Even Optimus kind of works. Combine this with a series 3 docking station and I have few complaints. But I remember a few years ago our work got a few of these t440s in to try out over our Dell latitude e series, after using the t430, I see many the points of many die hards. On the flipside it's still much better then the Thinkpad edge series. They remind me of a slightly beefed up Ideapad. I like Lenovo, but the modern Thinkpad isn't an IBM!
Love Lenovo but I echo the sentiment that many others share. Lenovo Thinkpads are not the same quality of the older IBM Thinkpads. Still great laptops for work.
MobileTechReview Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I've had mine for a couple weeks now, so far so good. Still trying/resisting to adjust to windows 8.
Lisa great job as always--you always manage to hit all the meaningful points and present in such a professional, upbeat manner . . . thank you! Lisa--are you going to review the T440P? I realize it is similar to the T440S, but is the optional discrete graphics card in "P" and other characteristics worth the additional size? Thoughts? Also, would you have any thoughts on benefits of waiting for Broadwell at this point--I currently have a T61 that's showing its age? Thank you Lisa!
Hey Lisa, I love your videos!!! Probably the best tech review videos on TH-cam!!! I wanna request one smackdown. Between the Intell Haswell Macbook Air 2013 and the Asus Zenbook UX301. I'd really appreciate it!! :)
Not gonna lie, I almost closed the video at 0:11 as soon as I saw the keyboard. How does the typing experience compare to older thinkpads? I have a T400, for example.
I'll be honest with you Lisa I have already seen this video and all other Lenovo review videos of yours more than several times already, for the past week. Wondering when can I afford this kind of laptop, which is awesome btw and I really love it's boxy Business design, as oppose to it's competitors products with ugly slant design which I really hate.
***** check buying a t440 and swapping the screen with the part used on the t440s and you will save lots, google it or on youtube, I am super happy with my very cheap t440
plagasul How much does it cost when you bought it? Here in my country that Lenovo laptop would cost 2-3 times than in your country. In short, my chances of purchasing this product is slim to none.
i have a t530 currently and i am looking to upgrade to something smaller. i swear by lenovos and this is my second one. best typing experience and they are built like a rock. great review, i will probably be picking one of these up.
Your reviews are SO helpful for real-world shoppers... of course X1 Carbon buyers are considering this and the X240 and the comments on the keyboards of all of them alone are worth the price of admission...
Great review, thanks! What do you think about the touchscreen? Is it important or useful? I use my laptop mainly for programming and Office, which is fine without touch. Touch seems to be the future, but it makes this laptop insanely expensive.

I also recommend Lenovo Vantage software to check and manage batteries if you use Windows 10.
Just brought a second hand T440s. Install SSD and add 4GB more ram. After installed windows 10, it works just like the brand new year 2021 machine.
Is it working properly even now?…just for my information as I am also looking forward to buy this one

the USB port on the right side (when looking at the screen) is not 3.0 but USB 2 from what I can determine. The ones on the other side are in fact USB 3.0
I read that this laptop has a bad trackpad and is noisy. What do you think?
fine computer but what's with the 2001 keyboard and mouse in the middle of it
Its so you don't have the tactile feedback of an iPad keyboard.
If you plan on using the trackpad then be prepared to have headphones in always cause it makes the most annoying sound

OMG nice design for a 2014 "Ultrabook"... looks like it has 10 years or more
I really hope they don't ruin Motorola :( just compare the Moto X with this "Ultrabook"
had to open this up and upgrae the SSD. it took a LOT of time and FORCE to pry it open!
what a horrible design.
personally, i'm done with lenovo.
PEORIA, ILLINOIS.... “I LIKE HER REVIEWS...”!!!
Great review as always, great features but kinda ancient look despite it being new...is the material hard plastic or vapor magnesium? If none-of-the-above, what it is?
The top is carbon fiber, the bottom is magnesium.
LOL This thing is not 'slim'.
It is only .09 inches thicker than a MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display. Not even 1/10th of an inch, You have been fooled by tapered edges far too much.
I just picked up a t430, depending on who you talk to the last of the real thinkpads. It has an i5 3370m, 8gb of ram and a 260 Intel based SSD. It's also the high res model with Nvidia nvs 5400m and it's in great shape. I am not one for the Chicklet keyboard but that can be swapped, but my main purpose is to run Mint Linux on it. Works as one might expect out of the box. Even Optimus kind of works. Combine this with a series 3 docking station and I have few complaints. But I remember a few years ago our work got a few of these t440s in to try out over our Dell latitude e series, after using the t430, I see many the points of many die hards. On the flipside it's still much better then the Thinkpad edge series. They remind me of a slightly beefed up Ideapad. I like Lenovo, but the modern Thinkpad isn't an IBM!
did this model support 4GLTE ?
Does it have integrated bluetooth?
Love Lenovo but I echo the sentiment that many others share. Lenovo Thinkpads are not the same quality of the older IBM Thinkpads. Still great laptops for work.
Can you make a review for the new 2015 version, please.
Is it possible to add a graphics card ? for t440s i5 4200U CPU?
Thank you for this great test, of this really nice notebook. =)
Will you also test the T540p?
I don't think we'll be covering the ThinkPad T540 series. The X1 Carbon will be the next ThinkPad in our review lineup.
MobileTechReview Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I've had mine for a couple weeks now, so far so good. Still trying/resisting to adjust to windows 8.
Does all t440s have docking station port?
I'm glad that you reviewed this laptop. I always thought the thinkpad from Lenovo were great laptops. Thanks for the review.
Lisa great job as always--you always manage to hit all the meaningful points and present in such a professional, upbeat manner . . . thank you! Lisa--are you going to review the T440P? I realize it is similar to the T440S, but is the optional discrete graphics card in "P" and other characteristics worth the additional size? Thoughts? Also, would you have any thoughts on benefits of waiting for Broadwell at this point--I currently have a T61 that's showing its age? Thank you Lisa!
Hey Lisa, I love your videos!!! Probably the best tech review videos on TH-cam!!! I wanna request one smackdown. Between the Intell Haswell Macbook Air 2013 and the Asus Zenbook UX301. I'd really appreciate it!! :)
Not gonna lie, I almost closed the video at 0:11 as soon as I saw the keyboard. How does the typing experience compare to older thinkpads? I have a T400, for example.
Just bought a t440s and the keyboards are great
So you can wipe it down with a damn cloth.. wait what
what is the exact model / serial number for this one please??
I'll be honest with you Lisa I have already seen this video and all other Lenovo review videos of yours more than several times already, for the past week. Wondering when can I afford this kind of laptop, which is awesome btw and I really love it's boxy Business design, as oppose to it's competitors products with ugly slant design which I really hate.
***** check buying a t440 and swapping the screen with the part used on the t440s and you will save lots, google it or on youtube, I am super happy with my very cheap t440
plagasul How much does it cost when you bought it? Here in my country that Lenovo laptop would cost 2-3 times than in your country. In short, my chances of purchasing this product is slim to none.
I just bought it second hand in méxico and it was about 440 euros
plagasul Good deal btw. You're too lucky bro.
Just grabbed on for 200 bucks on eBay
Lisa when will you review the Thinkpad 8 tablet?? Thanks
i have a t530 currently and i am looking to upgrade to something smaller. i swear by lenovos and this is my second one. best typing experience and they are built like a rock. great review, i will probably be picking one of these up.
Is this good for architecture students or not ?
does the t440s recognize a stylus?
Your reviews are SO helpful for real-world shoppers... of course X1 Carbon buyers are considering this and the X240 and the comments on the keyboards of all of them alone are worth the price of admission...
If you just get audio, change the quality to something else. That fixed it for me.
written on a t44s used but good price, about 200 dollar
Great video! I'm wondering if this cpu is upgradable?
Great review, thanks! What do you think about the touchscreen? Is it important or useful? I use my laptop mainly for programming and Office, which is fine without touch. Touch seems to be the future, but it makes this laptop insanely expensive.
i love you Lisa
