Lenovo Thinkpad RefurbishedT400/T61 14.1"Duocore 2GB,160GB Windows - Black

he 14-inch ThinkPad T400 is  Lenovo notebook based off of the Intel Montevina platform. This computer offers all features such as hybrid graphics, LED backlit displays, and power-saving refinements that let the notebook get extraordinary battery life. With all these changes taking place, Lenovo has also managed to keep the notebook looking as classic (boring) as ever, just how ThinkPad lovers like it.  

Design and features

Lenovo has been a business mainstay for many years due to a design that rarely makes big changes — rather only tiny improvements to a proven success. It also builds laptops that have the structural integrity of a tank, making it a favourite among sysadmins since it's likely to last longer than any other laptop out in the field short of say, a Panasonic Toughbook.

The T400 continues this trend, with the same familiar keyboard, red trackpoint and touchpad navigation (each with its own mouse buttons, although the trackpoint gets a middle mouse button whereas the touchpad is limited to left and right), magnesium alloy roll cage to protect against drops, and a spill resistant keyboard. It's also got ThinkLight Illumination — a white LED mounted at the top of the 14.1-inch, 1280x800 screen which points down to light up the keyboard in dark situations. It's not as good as a backlit keyboard and can be a little distracting, but it's better than nothing at all.

There's even small touches like symbols to the left of the keyboard, so you know what ports are on the side without having to turn your head or lift the laptop up. Shortcut buttons are minimal, with mute, volume up and volume down being pretty much it, apart from Lenovo's ThinkVantage button which loads its Productivity Software while in Windows, or if you hold it down when powering up starts the rescue and recovery process.

On the left are two USB ports, gigabit Ethernet, 56Kbps modem jack, VGA out, ExpressCard 54 slot and a seven-in-one card reader. The right-hand side features an extra USB port and the DVD+-RW drive, the front a rare 1394 port, headphone and microphone jacks. Inside it's run off a Core 2 Duo P8400 at 2.26GHz, with 2GB RAM, a 160 GB hard drive, ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 and for networking the usual 802.11n.

Lenovo's ThinkPad T400 is an attractive proposition for any laptop buyer, but you buy into Lenovo for a price. Dell offers more for less, but in terms of lifespan, you can guarantee the Lenovo will survive more catastrophic accidents simply due to its exceptional build quality.   Jumia is your trusted destination for products that are inspected and tested to work and look like new. A Renewed supplier who is qualified and performance managed, performs a full diagnostic test, replaces any defective parts, and thoroughly cleans the product. The products will have minimal to no signs of wear, no visible cosmetic imperfections when held 12 inches away, and may arrive in a brown or white box with relevant accessories that may be generic.

14" HD Display

Ultradurable Construction & MIL-SPEC Tested

Innovative roll-cage technology adds extra strength and rigidity to the notebook shell and top cover (carbon fiber top with magnesium bottom for maximum strength without adding weight). Military-specification testing validates the ruggedness, durability, and quality of ThinkPad products by testing against eight parameters: high pressure, humidity, vibration, high temperature, temperature shock, low pressure (15, 000 ft), low temperature, and dust.  

VGA Port

A VGA port for projector connections in conference rooms is still a business must-have, and a native VGA means no dongles to buy/lose/replace.

Stereo Speakers with Dolby Advanced Audio v2

Dolby Advanced Audio is a suite of audio technologies that enable your ThinkPad to deliver a crisp, clear surround sound experience over its built-in stereo speakers. The technology increases audio clarity for applications, maximizes volume output without distortion, and improves dialogue clarity when watching videos.
