Best blend of portability and essential features
A full 30 percent thinner than its T30 predecessor, the ThinkPad T40 has a travel weight of only 4.5 pounds - almost one-half pound lighter - and measures about 1-inch thin. The redesigned ThinkPad T40 is an ideal machine for mobile users who need a lightweight notebook with extensive functionality. The IBM Think Strategy of innovation for business advantage has led to the creation of the Ultrabay Slim, making IBM the first adopter of the 9.5 mm optical drive - 31 percent smaller than standard optical notebook drives. Combined with a unique thermal design to reduce system operating temperature, this innovation helped IBM to slim down the ThinkPad T40 without losing functionality.
The ThinkPad T40 notebook also comes standard with DVD or CD-RW/DVD Combo drives and IBM's patented UltraNav pointing device, a multi-pointing system that combines the latest full-function TrackPoint device with an IBM-customized touch pad. The ThinkPad T40 offers several battery choices to achieve all-day computing, including up to 9.5 hours of optional battery life when the ThinkPad T40 High Capacity Battery (standard on select models) is combined with the ThinkPad Ultrabay Slim Li Polymer Battery. The ThinkPad T40 also features the IBM integrated HDD shock absorber. This unique feature helps protect the hard disk drive (HDD) from the most common types of shock events - providing up to 30 percent more protection than the system case alone.
