Lenovo T440 - Best budget laptop for students ?
Рет қаралды 56,575
Күн бұрынIs the Lenovo T440 the best budget laptop for students? It's certainly a great price and once you install Windows 10 or Linux on it, it's a stable laptop with a comfortable keyboard. The trackpad can be a bit unresponsive at times but this laptop is a bargain at under $200 Canadian
Want to say thanks? Here is my Amazon wish list: a.co/68mLXcO

I never use the trackpad to select. Just use a two finger tap to "right click". No need to depress the pad. Also the case and keyboard are practically indestructible.

The Lenovo T440 outshines newer laptops that cost hundreds and is much more reliable and durable. To use the word "crappy" in any description of the T440 is an insult to this legendary workhorse of a machine. I also have seen many laptops in my 30 years of computer repair. Most do not live up to their claims. They are flimsy, made cheap and are EXPENSIVE! Touch screens are for tablets not laptops, so don't waste your hard earned money on a touch screen. It is a shame that today's consumers are duped into buying...might I say, newer CRAPPY laptops that have short life spans. Remember this little tidbit...A pre-owned laptop is like a pre- owned car. Why spend a fortune for the latest model when you can acquire an older model with all the same bells and whistles for less.

I agree with you about the car statement. I often compare computer modding to car modding. You can upgrade certain component etc. But my biggest issue with the T440 is it's trackpad and mediocre screen. I also have a x240 which is one of my couch computers. I really like it except for that crappy trackpad. I find that the T450 was a huge jump up when it came to the trackpad. My daily driver is a T450s running Windows 10 Pro and it's a great all around computer.

@@MikeDancy I recently brought this computer as a "beater" laptop since I plan(ned if this virus doesn't go away!) to return to school next year. Except for the screen, I must say that It was the best 200$ I've spent in a long time. You can easily upgrade the trackpad for about 50$.

I have the T440p which I assume has the same trackpad. I hate how deep the click is on the trackpad(I think everyone does) however I don't have that unresponsiveness that you have. No issue at all accurately moving the cursor no matter what part of the pad I use. I think the one in this video may be faulty. The top layer of the pad is just a sticker and can wear away overtime and become unresponsive.

apparently you can put in a T430 track pad which I hear works better. The YouTune channel Laptop Retrospectives has done a video on it I think

Depends if you plan on setting it up with a docking station. I’d probably take the Lenovo over the Dell though.. but I really dislike the T/X fourth gen touchpad. So if it was just a part time machine sitting on my lap then I’d take the dell. But if I had to use it all day, I’d take the Lenovo. I like it’s keyboard better.

Love everything about the laptop, except for the display... I'm not too sure if it's just me but, sadly the font of the laptop is way too small, and yes, I've tried making it bigger, but however, it only affects the font in apps like Google Chrome, I just want to know if changing my operating system to an older version like windows 8 will help with this matter, as it is rather irritating and very disappointing, love lenovo laptops though!

Have you checked to see if it’s a driver issue? I think that generation had both an Intel graphics card or a nvidia graphics card to choose from. How is it when you output it to another screen? Is it a resolution issue ?
@muichirotokito9486 9 ай бұрын
@@MikeDancy Ohh yes, actually mine doesn't support the 1920x1080, it uses the resolution 1600x900, as I remember. Maybe that's why the font is small, since when I switched to different resolutions lower than it, the font was larger but much blurrier. Maybe the solution is to get a better display panel.
