Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Expensive multitouch feature
  • Pricey; no dedicated graphics processor; no DVD writer
  • Huge price markup for touch features. Massive performance, weight and battery hit. Stretching to use multitouch screen is uncomfortable for more than a few seconds, making extended touch usage nearly impossible and rarely accurate
  • Expensive; touchscreen features have limited real-world usefulness for most
  • Heavier than original T400s, High premium for touchscreen
  • No FireWire or extra card slot. No extended batteries available
  • Expensive; touch-screen features have limited real-world usefulness for most
  • Short runtime with standard battery; mediocre 3D performance; must choose between a card reader and an ExpressCard slot; early buyers must download touch utility
