Went from T440s to T410 - happier!

This isn't a question. I just wanted to share my story so that someone could possibly benefit from my experience.

I am a long time user, a fanboy even Lenovo, uses T-series since when it was IBM. Having to work with a 220 X and a MacBook Air 13 "at home I thought take the plunge and buy the T440s when it was released last year (2013).

Said and done.

Already from the go, upon receiving it I could tell that it was not good. The keyboard has been bad, the worst news of trackpad and the screen was bleeding + I thought I could handle a resolution of 1920 x 1080, but I couldn't. Resolution gaffe is mine and not anyone else's fault. There was also (is still) problems with wifi connection - drop every hour approximately. Incredibly bad.

Also, an intangible, but still, the quality of construction, the sensation if you want, is really off. I just expect more from Lenovo. Also the feeling 'pioneer' to own a computer, which is very scalable and easy to manage if you have a problem like dead or defective pixels keys on your keyboard, is now missing.

So what I did? Well, I thought to what Lenovo I last enjoyed toally without a "Yes, I like it but..." ", and it's the T410. So I ordered a refurbished 1440 x 900 (Yes, 16:10 rules!) and he got to 1/5th of the price of my T440s and I'm totally in love. That's what a computer must feel.

So, if you are about to buy a new Lenovo. Think again. Go to a dealer serious refurb and you get a T410. I guess T420 works OK, but I'm not a fan of 16:9. Stay away T430 and T440. I guess if you can stomach the T430 keyboard you have to even less the trackpad WITH the keys. Without them, as is the case on all new useful lenovos of your time, you're really lost.

I hope this helps someone choosing their system.

Sincerely,

Jeremy

PS. You may ask what I did with the T440s? Keep it docked, use with screen, mouse and keyboard like a desktop computer. Works well.

I probably try and sell the T440s, although it has value and put it in more T410 "machines" or an actual office.
