T series type of Lenovo is used for business.
It has aluminum alloy frame that can suffer pressure, equipment for reading
fingerprints and bolting screen. Business appreciate these features; however,
it is very useful for anyone who has little baby.
T430 is rather cumbersome, but you can
blame on frame that provides endurance and elasticity. In reality, you can
stand on this laptop; however, it is difficult to stuff it into laptop bag of
travelling knapsack.
Its screen is 14 inches with 1,600x900
pixel resolution. In addition, it is covered with anti-glare layer. Although
text and image are fresh and particular and color is exciting, it seems to lack
light.
On other aspects, laptop is perfect. It has
new island keyboard. This is similar to Idea Pad’s keyboard. It cares about
design than traditional ThinkPad. It’s wonderful that curved keys are suitable
to fingertips and it also has round sides. Beveled face and shape are designed
to reduce the ability that you can touch 2 keys at the same time. I feel
satisfied that this is one of the most comfortable keyboards that I have ever
used. Normally, people who use ThinkPad will recognize that some keys aren’t
put in their usual positions, but you will make acquainted with new layout
quickly.
TrackPad’s surface is crude and small. However,
it works well with suitable precision and movement. I like option with
establishment of 3 buttons on trackpad or 2 buttons under trackpad. Certainly,
I like to use trackpad more than TrackPoint that has symbol of Lenovo.
Under lid is Intel 2.8GHz Core i5-3,360M
CPU (3rd) and it also has 4GB RAM. With duties due to CPU, it passes
most of the recent laptops that we see. Our high-ranking Sandy Bridge Ultrabook
and Asus Zenbook follow it closely. However, T430 has better grade with 20%
about total aspects. But according to tests, it lacks in graphic power. Speed
of picture and 3DMark 11 grade is as half as Ultrabook’s grade and base on Ivy
Bridege with separated graphic. This laptop is not used to play game, but it
will make computing duties easily. This thing will useful for Intel 520 180GB SSD
drive – strong business drive. However, users can see that 180GB stingy to
collections of video and music.
However, you can wait for a total business
laptop. This laptop has many gates and plugging slots and T430 has a position
in a large frame for them. It has USB2.0 gate and USB 3.0 gate, Express Card/34
and SD card reader, mini-Display Port and VGA. Connections are served well. It also
has separated DVD-RW drive and wireless on/off switch. It is provided with
technological feature about 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth.
Lenovo also provides with utility PC
software – Lenovo Solutions. In addition, it also has a Simple Tap with touch
direction of Lenovo that can access internet, settings and applications through
shortcuts.
Besides free cloud archive of Sugar Sync,
we appreciate Password Vault that can connect your fingerprints with password
to access quickly and secretly. This is a good idea.
Battery duration is stable, but it is not
remarkable because it only gains 3 hours 19 minutes to our test “increasing
productivity” battery duration. We can buy battery with 9 cell option because
T430 is rather light and its weight is 2.2 kilograms.
Some
customers feel wonderful about strong business laptop.
In general, among users who need a strong
machine, running in a long time and comfortably, there will be a person that
admires this strong business machine. Its price is $1,809, so it is rather
expensive to family. However, it is a wonderful investment to companies.
