3.0 out of 5 starsI can't believe it is a Thinkpad T!

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

I can't believe this is a Thinkpad T series laptop. My last Thinkpad was T42. The feel was unbreakable and it actually was. It survived several accidental drops, including once from fast riding bike.
Since then I have been recommending Thinkpad T to everyone I know. My friend bought a T430 not long ago with my help. It still felt very good.
This one, however, feels cheap (kind of plastic) and looks (screen resolution) cheap.
And the greatest surprise is that I cannot feel it faster than my C2D 1G memory windows XP laptop. It will become slow when you turn on several programs. I will try to add another 4G memory to see the difference.
Generally, I am disappointed although I still wish it is very durable.

3.0 out of 5 starsOkay laptop with very poor touch pad

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

It's a decent laptop.The problem is the touch pad; clunky and annoying.Pure junk.Otherwise, it has the traditional old style docking port on the bottom, plenty of USB ports, and has run without a glitch.It has plenty of spunk, but is not intended, nor would it make for a good gaming system.It seems like it has the traditional Thinkpad ruggedness.Just remember to get a portable mouse and turn off the touch pad.It will serve it's intended purpose.I would buy this unit again.

2.0 out of 5 starsSlippery keys, frustrating touch pad

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

I returned this computer. I found the keys too slippery for my style of typing (I'm a touch-typist, not a pounder) but what really did it for me was the touch pad.

Despite hours invested in trying to learn how to use the it (searching on line for help, watching videos about it and trying to implement), it remained a frustrating mystery.

5.0 out of 5 starsit is easily mastered after continuous usage

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

This laptop delivered the exceptional qualities I expected from Lenovo. Even though the touch pad might be a little intricate for some users, it is easily mastered after continuous usage. The build quality and upgradable hardware makes it very easy to transcend to know performance. I am currently using a wireless mouse which makes it easy very easy to take the place of my desktop. So overall I can't complain, it's one of the best laptops out there in the I5 range. It's unparallel compare to price per value.

5.0 out of 5 starsexcellent

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As of february 2015, I wholeheartedly believe that this is the best laptop under $600. It is future proof, upgradeable, has a solid build quality, and great connectivity.

QUICK NOTES:
The laptop I received did not have the superfish malware installed.

I have not seen vendors mention that this model has bluetooth, an expresscard/34 slot, or an empty M.2 slot (for WWAN/SSD).

Trackpad- I saw a lot of reviews hating on the trackpad, and planned on using a mouse with this computer. Long story short, its by far the best trackpad I've ever used, but if I didn't look up how to use it I would be very frustrated with it.

CONS:

GPU not suitable for serious gaming (not a concern of mine)

PROS:

Upgradable- The CPU is NOT SOLDERED to the motherboard. It can be replaced with quad-core i7 parts with several times the performance of the i5-4200m. The RAM can be upgraded to 16gb. It should be possible to add a backlit-keyboard or FHD display, though I have not looked into this.

Ports- In addition to the 2 usb 3.0 ports, this laptop has an expresscard 34 slot, an unused M.2 slot (with WWAN antennae pre-wired), and a multimedia card reader. The cd/dvd tray can be replaced with a SATA tray for storage devices. The MDP interface can be converted to HDMI. Really the only ports you will be unable to emulate going forward are USB 3.1 and thunderbolt.

Screen- I was initially shocked by the appearance of the screen in windows 7. I tried to raise the resolution, only to find it at the maximum. Turns out the icons were upscaled by default. The screen looks great and gets very bright when needed. I'm not a huge monitor geek but it appears to have good viewing angles and color gamut. I also do not have problems with glare in the same locations that my prior laptop struggled with.

Human Interface- I probably would be lost if I didn't read up on how to use the trackpad, as it differs pretty substantially from other trackpads. It has no edge buttons, but rather the whole pad is one clickable button. You get r/m/l clicks depending on where you click. Taps also emulate clicks. Different actions can be triggered depending on whether you clicked or tapped, and how many fingers you used. Scrolling can be achieved a variety of ways (including with the trackpoint). The trackpad also supports gestures (up to 10 point multi-touch.)I have not tweaked the trackpad on linux to get it functioning in exactly the same way is does on windows, although thats mainly because it works very well 'out of the box' on kubuntu. The TrackPoint is similarly great, and really brings out the best of the trackpad. If you are a 'hunt-and-peck' keyboardist you will probably never use the trackpoint. Keyboard is very nice, although I have limited experience with high-end keyboards.

Linux- Every device worked with kubuntu. I've had many a laptop that had display or wireless issues, but everything was working perfectly from the first boot.

BIOS- Although BIOS is something most people care very little about, I was very happy with the T540p's BIOS. As a multi-boot user, I have had many frustrating run-ins with UEFI. This BIOS allows you to toggle legacy and/or UEFI boot off, switch which order they are tried in, and allows you to switch into a windows 8 compliance mode.

Performance- The Win7 install that shipped with my machine was slightly slower than what I would expect of a laptop with these specs. A few vendor-crapware uninstallations later and I was sailing smooth. I then installed both windows 10 technical preview and kubuntu 14.10, which performed excellently.

Battery- This uses a haswell processor, so the CPU draws significatly more power (37w TDP vs 13w TDP) then the latest-generation intel mobile CPUs (the new broadwell parts are soldered to the socket, which is a deal-killer for me as I intend to upgrade the CPU later). However, lenovo packs a big ass battery in there, and you can get the 57++ which will give you apx. double battery life. For low-light web browsing I have gotten ~8 hours. I've never done a drain-test, but it seems like you should be able to get 3.5-4 hours watching an HD movie or playing a game with middling brightness.

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2015

Not a very pretty machine, but a good desktop replacement. It's very solid and connects easily to external monitors for multi-screen work. If you travel a lot, this isn't the Lenovo you're looking for, but if you're going to dock it on your desk it's good. Can't wait to see how it handles the Windows 10 upgrade.

This is our version of perfect.

From street markets across Vietnam to our favorite pho joints in the Northwest, we love the complexity of the flavors and the simplicity of a good bowl of soup. Essence of Lotus wants to make the authentic soups we love so much a staple in homes across the country. So, we’ve created flavor-ready pouches of instant broth — add water, noodles and your favorite garnishes and you’ve got a beautiful, restaurant quality broth without the hours of preparation.

Simple ingredients, complex flavors.

We got here by working backwards. Working with chefs and food scientists, we started with a rich bone base, seeking out a delicate balance of sweet and salt. Then we stirred in spices like star anise, ginger, cinnamon, lemon grass or shallot. We refined each element until we had built our perfect pho broth. That’s how we approach every Essence of Lotus product: starting with a base of good, traditional ingredients; creating a broth that will make you smile.

Street Vendors, Chefs, Home Cooks.

No matter where you’re cooking, Essence of Lotus is your secret ingredient. Our broths pack the spices and flavors that nourish and satisfy, whether you’re serving pho in a professional kitchen or spicy beef soup at home.

Quality products, made in the USA.

In every Essence of Lotus product, you’ll find authentic ingredients from trustworthy sources and all blended and packaged here in the Pacific Northwest since 1998. Our products have a shelf life of up to 12 months and are created with food service best practices.
