Lenovo ThinkPad SL400
Product Description
The new SL series is the first line of small business notebooks designed with ThinkPad styling at an affordable price.
The ThinkPad SL400 is quite solid in terms of build quality, though the plastics used in the chassis construction do give in to some case flex when squeezed. The entire chassis exterior is plastic and while the appearance is nice, the "feel" of the notebook is a little less rugged than we've come to expect from ThinkPads. Unlike with the other ThinkPads, you don't get a double latch mechanism with button release to make sure the screen is held down when it is closed and being carried. Instead, the SL400 uses hinge tension to hold the screen in place.
The glossy black plastic display cover is probably the most interesting design element on the SL400. Lenovo also decided to modify the traditional ThinkPad logo by adding a small red LED to the dot above the "i" in ThinkPad. I suppose someone still thinks "bling is the thing" in the world of small business. In any case, this certainly isn't a boring ThinkPad.
That said, like most notebooks in the small business class, the SL400 suffers from cheaper plastics used compared to its bigger brother in the chassis construction, weak built-in speakers, and an overall build that is slightly thicker and heaver than needed.
