Communication
Lenovo's ThinkPad T440 can be equipped with all kinds of communication features. This includes a wireless module - in this case provided by Intel (Intel Wireless AC 7260) - with support for the latest WLAN standard 802.11ac. You can also use Intel Wireless Display, Bluetooth 4.0 and 2.4 as well as 5 GHz networks. Furthermore, Intel also provides the I218-LM module for a fast Gigabit-Ethernet connection. Depending on the configuration, you can also equip the ThinkPad T440 with a UMTS modem. Our review unit uses an Ericsson N5321 HSPA+ modem.
Accessories
There are many optional accessories for a classic ThinkPad like the T440. This includes several docking stations that extend the port variety and enable a fast connection between the device and peripherals.
Advantage in terms of software: The ThinkPad T440 has a Windows 7 Pro and a Windows 8 Pro license (each 64-bit).
Keyboard
It has been a while since ThinkPad enthusiasts had to face the redesigned keyboard - the change from the classic to the island-style keyboard that was very popular at the time. Lenovo promised that the new keys use the same mechanics as before and therefore provide the familiar and convenient typing experience, as well as a direct illumination of the keys instead of the retired Thinklight.
