Re: T14s vs. Dell 7410
...The T14 series and 5410 are traditional style 14" business class notebooks with very much consistent and more comfortable experience with older business class models like the T420 series and the E6420 series (Typically a much more comfortable set of input devices, better ergonomics and wider sel...

Re: T14s vs. Dell 7410
I think we're getting somewhere. Why is the 7410 not the direct competitor to the T14s? Whatever these differences are will be very helpful for me to know.

Re: T14s vs. Dell 7410
The quote is from a few weeks ago (been busy) so not sure if prices have changed, but a number of products here are more expensive than other places (especially compared to the US even after adjusting for currency). Apparently hidden taxes/import fees often have a lot to do with it but I really don'...

Re: T14s vs. Dell 7410
Thanks for your reply. I am in Canada so these prices are in CAD. 1. T14s $4179.70, plus $139 for 3 year warranty (which I'll probably upgrade to 5 years), thinkpad ultra docking station $398.99. 2. 7410 $2279, no additional warranty quoted, dock (not sure if there are different versions sold by del...

T14s vs. Dell 7410
Hi everyone, I've been using Thinkpads exclusively for over 25 years and love them. I use them for a long time and so that only amounts to 9 Thinkpads so far, and they've always been terrific. I would like to buy a T14s (specs detailed below) through my work. Unfortunately my employer has a contract...

Re: When is replacement for the T440s due to be released?
My T450s arrived earlier this week. I'm really happy with it so far. I was worried that I wouldn't like the new keyboard, but I'm actually finding typing with it quite pleasant. I'm surprised to see that there are no longer lights to indicate if the wireless is on etc. (seems like a money saving mov...

Re: When is replacement for the T440s due to be released?
There were a lot of complaints about the lack of "real" trackpoint buttons on last year's model. They're bringing them back for 2015. I love the trackpoint so for me it's worth the wait.

When is replacement for the T440s due to be released?
As the title says, I'm wondering if anyone here knows when the new model in the T4XXs segment is due to be released. I'm planning to upgrade but would hate to get the T440s and have the next iteration come out shortly thereafter.

Re: Fn + F3 turns off screen the first time, but not after t
It is set that way. When I change it to "show me the choose power plan menu" it will work normally for that option. But if I switch it back to "shut off screen" it won't work. It only works if I reinstall Power Manager, but then it will only work once. Any other ideas, anyone?

Fn + F3 turns off screen the first time, but not after that
On my T420s, I have power manager set such that Fn + F3 turns off the screen. It stopped working some time ago and I really miss that feature. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling power manager and it will work the first time I try it, but not after that. When I press Fn + F3 I can see the littl...

Re: video problem with docking T410s

In my case, however, the Fn+F3 doesn't work properly (see http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=88810) and the graphics card doesn't like my 24" LG monitor (image looked like it was at a m...

Re: docked T410s not waking from sleep or showing as docked
The lack of undock option in start is normal. Lenovo has eliminated this step, so you just unlock the key, hit the button on the dock and go (a big improvement over previous docks). Don't know what the deal is with the sleep. I don't have my mouse set to wake the computer, but when I hit a key on th...

Advice needed: Wait or send to depot?
My T410s is connected to an external monitor via display port. Fn + F3 turns off my screen as per normal, but hitting any key doesn't turn the screens back on. Instead, all I can see is the mouse pointer, which is flashing. Occasionally, if I hit Fn + F3 again a few times and play with the mouse the...

window movement coming out of sleep
I've never experienced this on any of my Thinkpads. I have my T410s connected to an external monitor. When I enter sleep by either using Fn+F4 or letting it automatically enter sleep via the timer, and then wake the computer the window positioning on the external monitor is maintained. However, when...

It appears to be made by Toshiba according to the system information. I can also confirm no creaks anyw...

"put the computer to sleep" in power manager stopped working
I've recently noticed that my computer no longer automatically goes to sleep. Fn+F4 still puts it so sleep, but my settings in power manager for this to happen seem to have stopped working. I changed the settings to see if that would help (e.g., turn display off after 1 minute, put computer to sleep...
