Lenovo Thinkpad Refurbished T440 Core i5 4gb Ram 500gb HDD Black (6MTHS WRTY)

Lenovo's ThinkPad T Series laptops have a legendary reputation amongst business users or anyone who needs to get serious work done. The 14-inch ThinkPad T440 continues this rich tradition, offering long battery life, strong performance, a best-in-class keyboard and all in a durable, 3.8-pound package. However, with a price of 1,200,000 on Jumia, this productivity-centric laptop doesn't come cheap. Is the ThinkPad T440 worth the investment?

Design

The ThinkPad T440 has the same chassis as the ThinkPad T431s, which launched in spring 2017, and carries the same design language as other ThinkPads. You'll find a smooth, raven black casing that features a carbon fiber lid and magnesium chassis. Like the T431s, the T440 has a rather plain matte black lid instead of the luxurious soft-touch, rubberized lids Lenovo used on the older ThinkPad T430s and T420s. A ThinkPad logo on the lid provides a splash of color with a red light in the letter "I" that blinks when the system is asleep. The famous red TrackPoint and a couple of red lines on the touchpad add accents to the deck.
Like other ThinkPad T Series, the T440 is built to take some punishment. An integrated roll cage helps the laptop survive drops and dings while solid hinges allow the screen to bend back 180 degrees, and a spill-resistant keyboard prevents a little water from destroying your system. Lenovo says that the T440 has passed several military standard, or MIL-SPEC, tests, including those for humidity, dust, extreme temperatures and vibrations.
Audio

While it's fine for conferencing and movie watching, the ThinkPad T440 offers pleasant music playback. The laptop's bottom-mounted speakers were loud enough to fill a small room, measuring 81 decibels on our sound test, which is fairly loud, but still a tad below the 84-dB category average. Playback also muffled a bit when the system was pressed against our legs.

When we played eddy kenzo and remas famous "music," playback was fairly accurate, though flat. Judas danny magics guitar-heavy "Painkiller" sounded tinny. Enabled by default, the included Dolby v4 audio software made the audio quality more tolerable than it would have been without it . The sound became hollow and lifeless when we turned this feature off.
