Now with standard solid-state storage drives available. Solid-state drives or SSDs, access data faster, use less power and – with no moving parts – are considered less susceptible to damage and breakdown than traditional hard drives. Therefore, you get extra durability, longer battery life and faster boot and application load times. | | |
In addition, Intel® Turbo Memory on select ThinkPad T Series models helps speed boot time, loads applications faster, and saves power.

| Power efficiencyThe new ThinkPad T Series has improved power efficiency by more than 25% over previous T Series, which increases your mobile computing time. Hardware improvements like LCD Backlight Displays and SSD drives use less battery power and create less heat. Switchable graphics let you move to lower quality graphics when you need to maximize mobile computing time. In addition, when there is no activity, the optical disk drive and audio auto switch to a low power state. Coupled with software enhancements such as the new Green Power Scheme, Battery Stretch, and ThinkPad EnergySaver technology, the ThinkPad T Series lets you get the most out of your mobile computing time. |  |

 | Get improved battery life and lower energy consumption than discrete graphics systems with ThinkPad T Series' new switchable graphics feature. And don't worry; switchable graphics are easy to use. You can hot key between Performance or Power Saving graphics modes, or switch via the software user interface. No reboot is required to switch modes, and one unified driver covers both discrete and integrated graphics. Whether you need high-end graphics support, or to stretch your computing time, Switchable Graphics has you covered.
Experience brighter, crisper colors and lower power consumption life with the new LED backlit displays on the ThinkPad T Series. These new displays are bright without sacrificing battery life, with 25% brighter displays and using 2W less power than conventional CCFL displays. These high-resolution displays also contribute to ThinkPad T Series "thin and light" design, weighing 70 grams lighter than conventional displays. Users who travel frequently will appreciate the wide dimming range of the LED backlit display. This allows you to reduce brightness while still experiencing a crisp, comfortable display in dim environments such as an aircraft cabin. Finally, to protect the environment, our LED backlit displays are mercury-free. |

| Available on the new ThinkPad T500, the new DisplayPort video port gives you the ability to attach a high-resolution digital DVI monitor using the DisplayPort connector option. Display port is a next generation display interface technology that combines HD video and audio into a single digital connector-interface used for a broad range of applications not only for notebooks, but also for monitors, televisions, and projectors. |
