    It must be.

    They mentioned aging design as a drawback? :)

    I think that was a fair review.

    As some extra info, my T410 with i7 620m, integrated graphics and 8GB memory gets these windows experience numbers:

    Processor - 6.9
    Memory - 6.9
    Graphics - 4.4
    Gaming Graphics - 5.2
    Disk - 5.9

    Given that my disk has Bitlocker encryption enabled, I think the disk speed is excellent. The new i5/i7 have the AES instructions which makes that negligible now.

    I found it interesting that the Intel HD graphics give a reasonable performance too - with the stock drivers (from Windows Update - 10.2009), it gave 4.2/4.9. With the update from the Lenovo site (version 10.2025) it jumped to 4.4/5.2.

    I would expect Intel to extract a little more performance from this GPU as it is still so new, although time will tell.

    A few of my friends have complemented the design... they like the subtle curves and matt black lid.
