The Lenovo Thinkpad T430 is Lenovos’ low price proposition for a quality high mobility 14.0″ laptop. The T430 offers around 13 hours of surfing the web on battery charge (9-cell battery) and the option for the NVS 5400M GPU which offers the GT 540M performance level.
The excellent battery running times are not the only great thing about this laptop, but also the option for a very good 900p LCD panel. The whole package will cost you around 800$ including the typical ongoing coupons and makes it an excellent choice for light gamers who appreciate good screens and need the portability potential of this little block.
Highlights
- Excellent and probably unmatched battery running times for such a performance level, at least for that price.
- Solid Thinkpad looks
- NVS 5400M offers good light gaming abilities.
- Very good thermals compared to other laptops in this level
- Very good keyboard
- Good build quality
Drawbacks
- Gaming performance is low for this price. If you don’t need the portability then don’t look here.
- Weight is 2.166kg. There are lighter 14.X” and 13.X” laptops
- Many upgrades are overpriced (backlit keyboard, 16GB mSata drive)
