Video Review: The Lenovo SL series of notebooks have brought the ThinkPad line of computes prices down. Even though the SL400 has bulked up to keep the prices down, it retains Lenovos durability and feel.

With the introduction of the SL Series notebooks, Lenovo continues its trend of pushing the ThinkPad name out of its lofty perch and into more affordable territory. The 14.1-inch version bulks up a bit for the sake of keeping price low, but retains Len...

With the SL400, Lenovo has taken the best features of its iconic T-series, stripped out the fluff, and put a nice gloss (literally) on the final product. Unfortunately, it could use a little more polishing on the inside, given the unusually long nag li...

The predictable demise of Lenovos small-business notebook line—the 3000 series—happened with little or no notice. The gap between the enterprise ThinkPads and the 3000 series was simply too wide for any small-business user to bridge. Yet that...
Aggressively priced. ThinkPad keyboard and pointing stick. Excellent performance scores. Battery life is very good, even with discrete graphics. Environmentally sound. Superior wireless options. Excellent array of connectivity ports.
Frame is a little bulky.
Bidding farewell to the 3000 series produced the Lenovo ThinkPad SL400—a better, faster, and more energy-efficient small-business line for Lenovo...

Lenovos $1,119 ThinkPad SL400 is a well-priced thin-and-light business system that has the sturdy feel (and bulky design) of a midsize. It more than holds its own against the similarly corporate—but pricier—HP Compaq 6730b, beating it on s...

Affordable price, ThinkPad quality keyboard and trackpoint, Good screen (matte option is great), Solid performance, Nice preconfigured options, Stays cool and quiet...
Thick and boxy overall, Weak speakers, Glossy lid is a magnet for fingerprints and dirt, Plastics are thin and weak in some places, Weak hinge tension on display lid...
Overall, there is a lot we can say in favor of the ThinkPad SL400. Lenovo is offering a solid budget ThinkPad for only $799 and also offering pre-configured models with better performance and features for $1,249 or less. That said, like most notebooks...
