awesome, i found a guy selling t440 at a cheap price but it was actually t44p and i always wanted one. this video made me make sure its t440p by looking at the pics
Я фанат ThinkPad. Большая коллекция , правда после 440 модели нет ничего новее. Хочу заметить что 440 модель может идти с сенсорным экраном, он ещё и блестит, а не матовый, что считаю злом. Также он имеет только один Слот памяти. Возникла мысль заменить сенсорный экран LCD на IPS с разрешением 1920. Подобные модели 440 выпускались, но увы, не смог тк там нужно менять и Крышку . Заказал сейчас на EBay модель T440P. Там и процессор I7 и памяти 16 Гб и SSD, и двойная видеокарта, только экран подкачал - стандартный TN. Надеюсь заменить на IPS. Жду доставку
Really good comparison. At work we bought several T440p several years ago and I was wondering what the differences with his brother the T440 were. On the video this is good explained. As for the sound: did you tried lowering the master and not the RU-vid volume? I don't have the T440p here, so, I can see if the distortion goes away.
I just ordered a refurbished 2014 ThinkPad T440 on eBay with 8 gb, 500 hd, 2.7 ghz, i7 for $299. I'm hoping it will work well for school and everything else. Waiting for it to arrive on Friday to replace my dying MacBook Pro that I can't yet afford to replace with a new one.
I think you are wrong. Ultrabooks are not the solution to everything. There are some really good ones, but tend to be expensive. But a lot of them have heat issues and are quite fragile because of the thinness. Also, the T440 is not heavy enough to create real problems in my opinion.
Radish, good point about the Ultrabook, but they're expensive and besides, a macbook pro isn't the lightest machine around either [when is Google going to fix the lack of nesting in comments?!]
UNHEALTHY ORIGINS, how did this work out in the end, 9 months later? I'd be interested to know how you managed the transition from the macbook pro and what are your impressions.
@@UltimateDIY This is not 1% which will make you happy with an SSD. It goes far beyond the 100% mark. With an SSD you feel-good-and-statifised-experience will be about 199%. The last 1% may be the undervolting, less heat, less power consumption and more happiness :D (mine i7 4700mq runs at -0.085V, also the GPU. about 10 Watts less power and about 10°C less heat at full load (~37 Watt TDP?!). Normal office workload (Word, Programming, chrome, spotify) my CPU is just at 35-40°C (peaks at 45 for a short time) Room Temp is about 20°C. I use the integrated Intel GPU HD4600. And there is the big Heatsink form Delta with an dedicated GPU-Cooler-Option on it (04X3801). Ofcourse this notebooks are heavy. But this T440p or my T540p which I use for studying Mechatronics are such great machines! The have really powerfull CPUs and can handle every task. Get one on Ebay, switch the CPU and mybe the keyboard of your prefirence, also get a new batterie and you are ready to roll with an 500€ Jet which can be compared to any 1500€ new Lenovo T-Series notebooks with the new CPU generation. Tere are some downsides, but they are not this neccesery if you look at what you get for your money :)
I just ordered refurbished T440p for my girlfriend, 8gb, I5 4300M, 128Gb SSD. She doesn't need much disk space but if she does fill it we'll get a larger samsung ssd. I wonder whether I should have gone with the smaller T440 as she'll be taking it to work on occasion, as the house technician I appreciate the upgrade options. Grade A (as new) £275, a steal in my opinion.
If it's just on occasion, I don't think she will have any issues with the weight or size :) Also, it's nice to have the option to upgrade the CPU and maybe RAM sometime in the future, if required.
I own 3, T440p Thinkpads. Most easily upgradable computer ever. VERY easy, and a better performer than the T440. Biggest differences between them: CPU is socketed and upgradeable in the T440p. The T440, is not upgradeable. Higher performing M, or MQ processor in the T440p Poorer performing "U" processor in the T440. 16gb RAM max in T440p 12gb RAM max for T440, due to 4gb being soldered on board in the T440. My T440p's: i7 4700mq (Quad core) i7 4600m Dual Core i5 4210m Dual Core There is a CLEAR performance advantage with the T440p.
Dragunov Bushcraft, how about the SCREEN? You know, the thing you stare at for hours when you actually WORK on these machines ;-) Performance and upgradability, OK, but what about USABILITY? It's so difficult to find reviews and comments from people who actually use these machines for typing in reports and answering emails on the go...
Thanks for the video! I need a cheap laptop for Excel task, I use a macbook pro for my everyday task but prefer the windows version... might be what I need!
You make really nice videos, keep going. I m about to purchase a laptop and I m stuck between these two models. Does the t440p with the M series CPU perform better in light gaming and general performance? Thanks in advance.
+Ευθύμης Γκούμας thank you! :) In my opinion the T440p is the better performer. The M series CPUs are faster than the U series and you can also upgrade the CPU in the future. So for performance I would chose the T440p.
@@UltimateDIY Agreed. Not only that, the T440 has a maximum of only 12gb/RAM, as 4gb is soldered on-board. The T440p will accept 16gb. May be important when compiling a program.

When im watching this video have a bit of crazy and i dont understand ..because of model You change the possition of unit model if you review clearly and focus
Thank you for this excellent comparison, I was about to check a T440P but after viewing your video, I think I'll pass! What is most surprising to me is that such a small difference in name would result in totally different machines, technology wise. It's as if they were made by different companies!!! The T440 is very interesting for its two batteries, I imagine one can replace batteries on the fly on this model? It would have been nice to spend a bit more time on this unusual aspect. However considering this feature, I would have expected easier cover removal like with the T440P. I find carbon fiber an improvement over glass fiber for the cover so I find the T440 wins out here, but it's all relative in the end, how much a difference does it make in weight? Screen wise, the T440 has visible flicker and seem much nicer to look at whereas the screen on the T440P looks duller and too greenish. But the T440 is ever so slightly bluish and has visible flicker, perhaps due to interference your camera refresh rate. The screen color tests are a bit misleading because your camera compensated for them - just look how magenta your background wall appears in this part of the video. Yet the T440P screen still looks greenish, I can imagine how much greener it looks in reality, whereas the T440 almost looks perfect with its slight purplish cast but will probably look much more bluish once the magenta color balance is compensated for. I'm watching this video on a color calibrated, graphics grade NEC monitor, BTW. The main drawback with both laptops is how narrow the screens are - on the T440 I'd consider this simply unworkable considering the main use for portable machines is reading and answering emails and word processing. Besides, it's been proven that the angle of vision of human eyesight is closer to 4:3 or 3:2 than the 16:9 we have to suffer with nowadays... And is the main reason I still use my 4:3 ratio T42... It has the same vertical height as my modern narrow screen 17" laptop, for less than half the weight and twice the battery longevity! Keypads: I find most illuminated keypad aggravating because of the light spill around the keys - I have that on on my 17" machine but much prefer the ThinkLight of my T42, it works perfectly well under dim conditions like when traveling and you don't want to keep the person next to you awake. So the backlit keyboard on these machine are a step back IMO. Ah well. One day manufacturers will manage to make keyboards with much softer illumination that doesn't spill around the keys. How does the "Chiclet" keyboard compare in actual use with the old style keyboards that the ThinkPads are so famous for? Quietness and longevity is a must on small laptops you'd use on the go so I think the T440 would probably win here. VGA connectors?! An HDMI port would have been much more useful there considering every hotel TV has such a port. Of course one would expect a DisplayPort but you're quickly running out of options with such small machines. Yeah, that's the main drawback with my old T42 as well. Sound has never been good on laptops - it's simply impossible to make laptops sound good unless they are thick and bulky. For presentations with only the human voice, they're OK though. Again, thanks for this excellent presentation. Kudos!
Thank you for your appreciation! The flicker was because of the frame rate, but I see this problem way more on Lenovo laptops compared with any other brand. Probably because of some weird way they deal with the pwm to dim the display down. About the color correction of my camera, you are right, it was doing it, but you got the main ideea the right way. The keyboards...well...I'm not really good at this, because I can type on anything without noticing too many differences. But I think they lost the feel of the old ones. Sound can be done right, or at least better. I worked on some Dell Vostros that sounded way better. Also a ThinkPad Carbon X1 sounded way, way better. But probably more space was used for the speakers in those and for sure the speakers cost more. So I'm thinking they decide during design stage what that laptip will be used mostly for and concentrate on that. As for aspect ratio....wide is just stupid for anything not related to multimedia. I work as a mecanical designer in Catia and we all have wide screens, that do not help at all. But try to find a 4:3 big screen monitor if you can...
@JohnnyJim J Depends on what you like/want. I prefer the T440p. In actuality, they have the SAME screen options. You can upgrade to 1920x1080 if you like. Takes less than 5 minutes to DIY. The T440p can upgrade to 16gb/RAM, and the processor can be upgraded. I do a lot of typing, and like the Lenovo "chicklet" keyboard, although I like the T420 keyboard better. I also like my keyboards backlit. The downside to both computers, is the touchpad.... CRAPPY. Although, that doesn't matter to me, because I don't like any touchpad, and use a mouse. The MQ processor in the T440p, is a much better performer than the "U" processor in the T440. The T440 upgrades to a max 12gb/RAM, as it has 4gb soldered to the MB. The T440p, is also easier to work on/upgrade. Also, whatever CPU comes in the T440, you're stuck with.
@@UltimateDIY Retired Mechanical Design- Catia /Pro-E....I understand your remark about screen resolution....but it depends what you're doing! :) NoAxe Mechanical Designers should form a world union.....generally good people AND the most useful..... probably! :)
@@UltimateDIY Ok thanks , but i would like to buy one screen, but i dont know which one to choose. I have a lenovo t440 and saw a lot of "screen lenovo t440p SERIES", it working too?
Ok, so you are trying to replace your damaged screen? In this case you need to open up your laptop and see exactly your screen model. If you don't do this, you have high chances of buing a wrong screen.
