    Hello.
    I am thinking of buying T450s or T440p. I can not decide.
    I care about performance and durability. For the 95% of time I use a mouse (so clickpad won't bother me, I think).
    Or maybe I should buy T440s... I read somewhere that T440s is better done (has a better rigidity or something like that) in comparison with T440p or T540p. Is that true?

    I'm thinking about i7 or i5. But "full" i7 is only in T440p.

    I have one question about FHD screens available in T440s/T450s/T440p. They are IPS, am I right?
    If I buy T540/T550 I don't want 3K screens (because of price and too high resolution for me).

    I'd pass on the T540p unless you *really* want the Panasonic 3K IPS LCD. All other screens available for it are sheer junk.

    I would vote for the T440p if you want performance. It offers a quad core if you want performance and FHD IPS LCD.

    Thank you for reply ;)
    But what about screen in T440p. Is it good? Better than screen in T440s or is it the same?

    They both use the same FHD IPS screens.

    Thank you for your answer.
    What do you think about case quality? I mean T440p vs T440s. I read somewhere that you can bend easily case in T440p (in some places).
