Select a model with the new Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Pro to enjoy the best of both work and play.

Full-sized and spill-resistant, the legendary ThinkPad ergonomic keyboard is renowned for its full array of keys, excellent feel and TrackPoint® pointing device. And now it's optimised for Windows 8.1 with convenient multimedia buttons, LED status indicators, Function-lock capability, and immediate access to view apps. Plus, a larger, smooth trackpad with 5-point click integration — indicated by subtle bumps and stripes — can be configured multiple ways through Settings. Optional backlight makes working in dark environments effortless.

The ThinkPad T440s Ultrabook is the thinnest and lightest ThinkPad T series laptop we offer. Starting at 1.59kg and with a less than 21 mm profile at its thickest point, it's easy to slide into any bag and won't weigh you down.

In-Plane Switching (IPS) FHD or HD+ LCD displays with high brightness. IPS technology allows for vivid colors and nearly 180-degree viewing angles. With optional multitouch you can enjoy the smoothest navigation experience with impeccable response times

Innovative roll-cage technology adds extra strength and rigidity to the notebook shell and top cover (carbon fibre top with magnesium bottom for maximum strength without adding weight). Military-specification testing validates the ruggedness, durability, and quality of ThinkPad products by testing against eight parameters: high pressure, humidity, vibration, high temperature, temperature shock, low pressure (15,000 ft), low temperature, and dust.

The standard configuration of T440s includes two 3-cell batteries, one internal and one swappable. Power Bridge allows you to swap the rear battery without powering down your system. This is much needed for long flights or travelers who are away from power sources for an extended period of time.

For true mobility configure your ThinkPad T440s with WWAN connectivity so you can go online virtually anywhere without a WiFi connection.

A VGA port for projector connections in conference rooms is still a business must-have, and a native VGA means no dongles to buy/lose/replace.

Increased audio clarity and maximised volume output without distortion — enjoy a crisp, clear immersive surround sound experience over built-in stereo speakers. All the power and nuance of the cinema, all the immediacy of live performance, now from your ThinkPad.

Crystal clear video, face tracking and keystroke noise suppression technology will help you web conference or chat like you're really there. Dual digital array microphones ensure a premium audio experience.

Move data between the T440s and other devices quickly with USB 3.0 — it's up to 10 times faster than previous USB technologies and backward-compatible with USB 2.0.
