The Lenovo ThinkPad T430u fuses many characteristics long valued by laptop users. It comes with well-processed and solid casing, as well as long-lasting metal hinges and matte surfaces. The Lenovo ThinkPad T430u still uses TN panel, with rather weak backlight and the low brightness restricts outdoors usability.
Like many ultrabooks in the market, the Lenovo ThinkPad T430u comes with an Intel Core i5 processor and thin, quiet SSD. However, it adds a dedicated graphics card, the Nvidia GeForce GT620M for improved 3D performance compared to Intel’s HD Graphics platform. While the Lenovo ThinkPad T430u won’t perform like those monstrous gaming laptops, it should be more than adequate for running casual games and 3D games released five years ago such as the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. In keeping with ultrabook principles, the Lenovo ThinkPad T430u has rigid control over noise emissions and excess heat, which makes the machine relatively quiet and cool.
In a nutshell, the Lenovo ThinkPad T430u should be an attractive option for personal and business customers alike. At 950 Euro, the price tag should be considered as fair given the decent features set the laptop offers.
