ThinkPad notebook series usually comes in high quality and a bit expensive, but not in case of Thinkpad SL400. The Lenovo didn't shed too many features in rolling out its cheapest ThinkPad to date, the 14-inch SL400. Don't let the glossy lid fool you, there are a lot of familiar ThinkPad touches that make it a good bet for business users.
The SL400's 14-inch screen is bright and easy on the eyes, while its 1,440-by-900 resolution is perfect for this screen size. The bezel and the sides angle sharply toward the base, like a trapezoid. Presumably, this was done for aesthetic reasons and to protect the connectivity ports, but it also makes the ports hard to see when you're plugging something in.
