    Hi!

    I bought T410s and got it yesteray. So far, so good

    -Screen is not so bad...it's matte, reasonably bright, definitely usable unless you are really into media/video watching, etc. I just use it for Youtube videos, word processing, internet
    -No keyboard flex that I can detect
    -Fn/Ctrl key swap available in the BIOS :D...build is very very solid. The cover is some sort of rubbery feeling plastic that improves grip, very lightweight
    -Any other questions, PM me

    Stats
    i5 520M
    4GB DDR3 (i bought 2GB from amazon)
    250GB HDD
    14inch, (not touch screen) Win7 Pro 64

    Battery life when I charged it up to 90% was 3 hrs with brightness at 5 and moderate web browsing


    ULTRABAY BATTERY
    Where can I get one for Ultrabay slim T410s?
    Is it possible for me to take out the ultrabay battery? i.e. do I have to shut down the laptop in order to take out the ultrabay battery?

    can I keep track of how much charge is left in the ultrabay battery? Is there a setting so that I can have the ultrabay battery drain down to about 10% before it goes to hte main battery?

    Thanks!!!

    i suggest you avoid the ultrabay battery if possible. It is expensive and the fact that it always get used and charged first, means you will have to replace it in a short time period if you use it constantly. For the same price you pay for the ultrabay battery you can get the 6 cells main battery.
