Another item is the access panel on the bottom of the notebook that is designed to let users access one of the system memory slots and an open mini-PCIe slot. Only the left side of the screen cover shows this distortion but it is still more than past models. The screen lid seems weaker on the left side which allows pressure applied to the lid to show through as distortion on the LCD. The good news is that overall the redesigned chassis in the T410 still feels as strong as ever … but the bad news is a few specific areas did lose some strength compared to past ThinkPads. Any change to the sacred ThinkPad is seen as negative, even if it results in a stronger notebook. The bottom has also changed–with a user-access panel being the biggest addition–to let users install more RAM or a wireless card without tearing apart the notebook.īuild quality is a touchy subject for anyone familiar with the ThinkPad brand and how it has changed over the years. Another change is the shift from a two-piece palmrest and keyboard bezel on older models to one-piece design that is stronger and has fewer gaps to squeak.

Once opened, ThinkPad fans will notice that Lenovo finally centered the screen, so no more thick bezel on one side and a thin bezel on the other. The port layout has significantly changed to allow an increase in available ports and even a few new types of connections. Those are the areas where the similarities stop. It still carries the black rubberized screen lid with ThinkPad logo, still offers the shiny matte-black chassis and palmrest, and still uses the strong and highly visible stainless steel screen hinges. To the naked eye very little has changed with the overall design of the ThinkPad T410 compared to past models.
