Presale - Which business Lenovo laptop to choose - a T410 model or t410s
IT HAS to be a Lenovo. Ive a lattitude d620 now, but the latest Lattitudes are not tough enough.

All these T410 have the same "shell" or case. There is a huge difference in price between them.
I need a new ship after 5 years with my old laptop. Need a good laptop to be carried around on site for IT use. (not gaming or CAD etc)
Anyway Ive narrowed it down to these 3 or a t410s = very expensive.
Will get 3 year accidental warranty with what ever I choose.
Any advice anyone?
Should I go for the cheapest T410i ? or go mad and get the t410s ?
What the weight difference?
Any help choosing appreciated.
Lets face it - its very tempting to just get the most expensive model isnt it !

As i said, if there's no CAD, heavy gaming or graphics design, no need for the discrete graphics controller; and I would invest in another 2 GB RAM stick (so I could run a VM or two for testing purposes)...

ThinkPad T410s
"128 GB Solid State Drive, Serial ATA"
Is it easy to swap (to get access to it) that HDD for a normal 2.5 Sata - Like a 500 gig one?

Ah it has a tiny 1.8 inch drive. That puts me off.

It has just 1 USB port! Puts me off as well.

No idea... as it is SSD, it can be just a card attached to the mainboard... moreover, that model is marketed as the lightest 14" laptop, so I doubt there's enough room for a 2,5" HDD. SSD sounds cool in a laptop, but unless it is a work-paid machine, I wouldn't take it, apart of the low storage capacity
You got your answer... consider yourself served... ;)

Ok Almost done.
The one with discrete graphics is very similar in price.
Advantage - if something goes wrong with it - the mobo doesnt need to be changed - just the vid card.
Wait... in laptops, even if it says "discrete graphics", it does NOT mean it has a separate card... usually it means it has a dedicated chip (and RAM) for graphics soldered on the mobo and does not use the integrated one in the chipset. be careful with that.
