Even with the smaller 6-cell battery - our 9-cell battery sticks out almost 2 centimeters (0.78 in.) - the notebook is not very special. Neither the looks nor the dimensions (341 x 232 x 29.9 mm/13.4 x 9.1 x 1.18 in.) nor the weight ( 2.33 kg/~5.1 pounds, battery included) have changed significantly compared to its predecessor. The matte black upper surface which is composed of carbon fiber, fiberglass and reinforced plastics, separates itself considerably from the shiny consumer devices. The T430 and its sister models let us slightly think of Mercedes' G-Class: edged and primeval, but somehow also timeless and indestructible. This has not been changed during the years therefore the design has a subordinate importance. Robust and reliable are the most important properties of the ThinkPad. The respective reviews of the new EliteBook 8470w and Latitude E6430 are still to come, thus we will compare it with their predecessors including the ThinkPad T420. The traditional competitors of the ThinkPad are the business notebooks from HP and Dell. Typical for ThinkPad, their 14-inch WXGA++ display is coated with an anti-reflection layer in favor of ergonomics. Moreover the customer can be happy about integrated UMTS as well as an enormous 94 Wh battery.

Our test device, which is the top model of the series with a price of almost 1600 Euros (~$2093) (T430 N1XH2GE), is run by the fast Core i7-3520M accompanied by 4 GB of RAM as well as a 500 GB hard disk.
This succeeds the T420 and will be equipped as well as the other models with the recent Ivy Bridge generation of Intel. After we recently tested the models T530 and W530 we want to discuss the models of the T4xx series from the 2012 generation, more precisely the ThinkPad T430. For 20 years these dinosaurs of computer history have been known as reliable business devices and their high quality/value, for many business customers, often support a noble purchase price.ĭespite all the traditions the ThinkPads get frequent overhauls and upgrades. If there is one notebook series, which can be described with the word 'timeless', it would be the ThinkPad series of Lenovo (formerly IBM).
