Excellent wormanship and stability ; Excellent input devices ; Strong application performance ; High mobility ; Extensive connectivity options ; 3 year warranty

Dissapointing TN panel ; Very loud DVD drive ; Weak speakers ; High price

Even without an additional Nvidia GPU, work with CAD programs like SolidWorks is possible; a sign of the advances that the Intel graphics solution has made in past years

Classic ThinkPad quality; VGA and DisplayPort output; SIM card and WWAN connectivity; Ultrabay and Docking Port expansions; Matte display; Backlit keyboard and ThinkLight

Unimpressive battery life; Low contrast ratio; Small touchpad; Average speakers; Costly accessories; Chiclet keys can feel soft to some; Fewer configurable options compared to T430

For it's size, the notebook offers more features and easy end-user serviceability than any Ultrabook could hope for.

Well built ; Easily upgradeable ; Quality, backlit keyboard (+ ThinkLight) and pointing options ; Capability to have a massive amount of storage with 3 drives installed

Weak screen / variability in manufacturers ; Weak battery life ; Cost premium over T430 ; Included bloatware (and clean installing Windows requires jumping through hoops) ; Keyboard switched to chiclet-style

Clean, great condition, in good working order, however this was supposed to come with 8GB Memory and it only has 4GB.

lacks memory, was supposed to have 8GB Memory, only has 4GB?

Fast SSD drive, lightweight, good condition.

battery life so so

In good condition, everything works, decent performance. Better screen resolution (1600x900) than advertised. Packed decently (both times). i hoped to rely on all the supposed "good" brands involved: Lenovo, NewEgg, Microsoft Certified

Showed up malfunctioning, no battery function. It's supposed to be refurbished? How does that happen? Microsoft certified - to be what, broken? "Joy" systems (refurb co.)? No joy for me when I had to send it back

It is a Lenovo T-430S. I have about 30 T-Series Lenovos deployed within my company; T-410, T-420 and T-430 varieties. They are well built and supported laptops

This laptop arrived with a 'replacement keyboard' that has a DEFECTIVE RIGHT TRACKPAD BUTTON ; This was noticed after the laptop had been built and given to an excited 15 year old for Xmas ; Newegg HAS NOT RESPONDED (other than with automated responses...

Mostly Intel hardware which makes it compatible with all OSes ; SSD is a definite plus ; Suspend/Resume works flawlessly ; Good battery life ; Very lightweight and portable ; OpenBSD support

Trackpad does have two buttons unlike some Lenovo models, but my previous Lenovo trackpad on the R60 model was much better. It is not terrible and very manageable, but definitely a con. Unfortunately, like with most laptops there is still some Broadcom...

Solid laptop, arrived in reasonable condition, all specs listed are correct, well shipped

While I'm generally happy with the condition of the machine (it is refurbished after all), I'll provide here a list of defects/imperfections I've observed so far on my machine ; Cracked front right corner (top cover only, 2 year old machine ; My...
