Lenovo asks $1,530 for the ThinkPad T450s we tested (and that’s not including the optional 6-cell extended battery). That makes it one of the most expensive notebooks we’ve recently reviewed, and we didn’t see much that justifies the cost aside from...

Excellent keyboard ; Sturdy build quality ; Swappable batteries ; Wide array of ports

Thick and heavy ; No dedicated GPU ; Fingerprint reader not standard

Although not as slim, sleek, and light as a consumer Ultrabook, the Lenovo T450s means business. Enterprise customers will appreciate the diverse selection of ports, long battery life and user-replaceable batteries, and an optional fingerprint scanner.

In the end, the Lenovo ThinkPad T450s is one of the most enjoyable notebooks that I have used. It does not have the flashy styling of some, or the amazingly thin and light lines of others, but the overall package is great and for anyone who is looking...

Only one memory bank, Uncomfortable ClickPad, Protruding secondary battery

Most users will easily dispense with the at best 20% higher performance of the expensive Core i7-5600U - anyone needing that last bit of CPU power, should opt for the T440p from the outset. The GeForce 940M doubles the ThinkPad's 3D performance and...

Best-in-class battery life with 6-cell battery ; Built for business and compatible with existing docking hardware ; Surprisingly thin and light for its specs ; Great keyboard and TrackPoint controls

FHD multitouch display isn’t bright enough outdoors ; Buttonless ClickPad can be annoying ; Better configurations are too expensive

The ThinkPad T440s has been dominant in our business charts for a year now - and the new T450s has the best chance to take its place. Again, the office classic shines with diverse qualities, which start with the outstanding build over the keyboard...

If you want the best laptop keyboard around in a device that should weather years of use, the Lenovo ThinkPad T450s is the one to beat. Dell’s Latitude E7450 is a close second, giving touchpad users dedicated mouse buttons and a slightly curvier...

Arguably the best Thinkpad T in recent years. Durable carbon fiber lid and inflexible magnesium-alloy chassis. Bright, accurately colored 1080p IPS display. Amazing keyboard, even by Thinkpad standards. Redesigned clickpad works flawlessly. 7 hours or...

Factory upgrades are expensive. Questionable consumer value when considering older Haswell and 13 inch options with similar specs.

ULV (ultra low voltage) Broadwell variants are shipping with HD 5500 and not HD 6000 graphics cores. Based on benchmarks from around the web though, the HD 6000’s performance advantage is minimal despite its doubling up of execution units. Both add...
