sleek laptop without much power by yo on bhphotovideo.com Oct 3, 2011
I got this because my other laptop broke and needed something quick since i have to do writing for school on personal laptop. I was using thinkpads since 2000 and i like the IO system. I was looking at the W series originally but they are just bulky. ...
 
Fast and light by Robert Hanson "BobH" on amazon.com May 28, 2011
This thin and light -- and fast -- Lenovo T420s laptop is at the top of its class. The Lenovo brand runs under the radar screen for many consumers, but builds top-technology laptops that last next-to-forever. The T420s is sick fast with a 14" screen, ...
 
Very nice laptop, solid quality by Matt on amazon.com Dec 25, 2011
Looked at many laptops to replace an old Lenovo Idepad that had the cover hinges fail after about 3 years. Had thought about other brands and even ordered an HP business class laptop to compare. But when it came down to the red navigation pointer (which ...

Sturdy and cool with i5 and integrated graphics by Stanislav Gatev "Stan Gatev" on amazon.com Jul 19, 2011
I am an IBM employee and as such I enjoy a discount on Lenovo purchases. With my corporate discount, the price comes down to what you would find on newegg, tigerdirect, or amazon, but with the ability to customize the system. When I was building mine, ...

Expensive piece of top of the line garbage - I miss my T410s by Alexis "Alexis" on amazon.com Nov 26, 2011
Good computer but for one fundamental flaw: the VOIP experience is DISMAL. The microphone could not be any worse. I consistently get horrible rain in the background and strange noises coming in and out. Furthermore the T420s dims the sound of the keys ...
 
Nice performance Terrible fan noise. by Happy on amazon.com Dec 8, 2011
Nice performing laptop with Nvidia graphics and I5 processor. Solid state drive. Ordered DVD bay battery (good idea). The problem with this laptop is the noise emanating from the fan. My hearing isn't overly great and to me it is ridiculously loud. ...
 
Overpriced built quality by Mike S on amazon.com Nov 30, 2011
Good points: Slim, light, nice looking, works great. Nice feel of relief touchpad. The largest disappoint is the feel of soft laptop body. It has a solid frame but the plastic case around it makes the feel of something not well built and cheap. The housing ...

No longer a solid IBM product -- this is a cheaply built look-alike now by AMG on amazon.com Nov 27, 2011
It has been several years since IBM sold its PC division to the Chinese manufacturer Lenovo, but after owning several ThinkPads over the years, I have unfortunately concluded that the ThinkPads of today are no comparison to the solidly built IBM products ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Thinkpad T420S 14" 320GB 4GB
The little light on the top of the lid does a good job at illuminating the keyboard, but again I would have still preferred a back-lit one...But so far it is good, I don't feel slowness, maybe also because the system is so fast...The MacBook has a back-lit keyboard and a truly amazing display (Lenovo's display is matted which is good, but does not provide the same level of contrast...
