The perfect balance of performance, portability and energy efficiency

Take a load off

You'll want to take your super portable T Series notebook everywhere. And as the thinnest, lightest T Series ever, starting at just 3.91 pounds and .83 inches thin, you can—without compromising display size or power.

Work longer with energy-saving features

New T Series laptops increase energy efficiency by more than 25% over previous T Series models, extending battery life and increasing your mobile computing time—a life saver for on-the-go pros:
Lenovo Battery Stretch lets you make temporary selections in extreme situations to extend battery life.
Switchable graphics lets you move to lower quality graphics when you need to maximize mobile computing time.
Integrated graphics reduce power consumption by using only part of your laptop's RAM.
LCD backlight displays and SSD drives use less battery power and create less heat.
Optical disk drive and audio automatically switch to a low power state when there's no activity.
Green Power Scheme and ThinkPad EnergySaver technology help preserve mobile computing time.

Power to the professionals

Mobility is great, but what about power and performance? T Series has you covered. These portable powerhouses feature the highest-end processors, fastest graphics and durable, reliable data storage. Intel® Turbo Memory and SSDs (on select models) speed boot and application load times.

Picture-perfect graphics

T Series laptops give you superior graphics performance.

Switchable graphics let you power-up the stunning graphics for important presentations, then power them down to boost battery life and lower energy consumption. And they're easy to use. Just hot-key between Performance and Power Saving graphics modes, or switch via the software user interface. No reboot required!

LED backlit displays are mercury-free and generate 25% brighter displays, boast crisper colors, consume less power and weigh 70 grams less than conventional CCFL displays. Use the wide dimming range to reduce brightness while still experiencing a clear display in dim environments.

DisplayPort video port (available on the ThinkPad T500) lets you attach a high-resolution digital DVI monitor using a DisplayPort connector. Use this next-generation display interface technology for everything from notebooks to monitors to TVs to projectors.

Stay connected

T Series offers several ways to connect for the best wireless performance:
Mobile broadband-ready models let you connect to a mobile broadband network and switch to a different carrier during the life of the system.
Ultra-Wideband Bluetooth capability lets you clear cable clutter and free up your USB ports by using Certified Wireless USB technology. Take advantage of this technology today using a wireless USB hub and in the future as wireless USB devices become available.
WiMAX capability is available to ready your T Series notebook for this emerging long-range wireless broadband technology.
