Ode to the T440p |
---|
Oh Lenovo, Why must you be this way. Some time ago I had gotten a Lenovo Thinkpad T440p, It was well specced containing a Intel Core i5 vPro CPU, 8GB of Memory, and a HDD that I ended up replacing with a SSD. But there are many complaints to be had with this laptop. To start, I want to bitch about the trackpad, The awful awful trackpad. It's just one solid surface with no physical buttons. This makes trying to right click a major pain sometimes as I will keep left clicking until I make sure my finger is in the atmost right corner of the trackpad. Let's also talk about clicking, The clicking on this trackpad is abysmal to say the least. It feels mushy like I'm pushing a button with a pillow under it, Couple that with the fact the distance the trackpad pushes down is just (in my opinion) way too long, it just doesn't feel right. The keyboard I don't really have many complaints with, Other than the location of the Fn key being different than most of the other laptops I own which does trip me up. Other than that I kind of like this keyboard, though I do wish I had the backlit keyboard for the T440p Ports. This is my huge complaint with every laptop. I feel like this laptop could use some more ports but honestly, I should just buy the dock. Though I have complaints about this laptop, I do suggest people pick one up if they have the chance, It's a solid little beast. |
