The 14.1-inch version bulks up a bit for the sake of keeping price low, but retains Lenovo’s signature ThinkPad durability and feel, along with competent performance for a business machine. But some minor issues still need to be ironed out.
Our Lenovo SL400 came with the following hardware:
14.1-inch WXGA VibrantView Display
Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz CPU
2GB PC-5300 DDR2 RAM
250GB Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS Video Card

Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 5100
9-Cell Battery
