Lenovo ThinkPad SL400
Comments:
Review Verdict: Lenovo didn't shed too many features in rolling out its cheapest ThinkPad to date, the 14-inch SL400. Don't let the glossy lid fool you, there are a lot of familiar ThinkPad touches that make it a good bet for business users.

QuickTake:
Pros: Low price point doesn't strip away too many traditional ThinkPad features; uses current Centrino 2 platform; antiglare display option with every penny (it costs 5,000 pennies); same great ThinkPad keyboard you've come to know and love; optional 9-cell bat
Cons: Magnesium alloy roll cage absent; Draft N Wi-Fi not offered; optional 9-cell battery brings weight up to a relatively hefty 6 pounds.

Laptop Review: Lenovo SL400
Comments:
This 14.1 Thinkpad has it going on with style, but does it live up to performance?
Review Verdict: There - in all its glory, the nVidia GeForce 9300M. Paired with a core duo chip and 2GB of RAM, we expected some decent performance out of this unit to make up for its size

Comments:
Usually, ThinkPads don't come cheap. You expect to pay dearly for the classy keyboard, rugged chassis, and whatever top-notch parts lie under the hood. That's not quite the case with Lenovo's SL400 series of laptops.
Review Verdict: Overall, the SL400 is a sound business laptop. Though it doesn't pack the firepower of some high-end machines, it gets the job done handily. Its combination of performance and value places it near the top of our charts

Review Verdict: The Lenovo ThinkPad SL400 is the smaller model in the range and uses a 14.1-inch Super-TFT panel as opposed to the 15.4-inch screen on the SL500. The screen helps keep the weight down to a portable 2.6kg, making it the lightest machine in this group test.
