A bit more cryptic than anything, Lenovo’s design blog has a post up today about the newly redesign TrackPoint. They specifically discuss a final tweak made to the design, resulting in a change of only 0.1mm to the device. You can hit the link for the full read, but really it’s just teasing us about the ThinkPad T400s…
The thing is that our fingertips are quite sensitive and that a difference of 0.1 mm can be significant in many cases. This is why we are so insistent and sensitive about this “mere 0.1 mm, but a definite change.”
Other input devices such as the keyboard and touchpad have also been tweaked. Even with all the new looks, the exterior still carries a good amount of traditional ThinkPad aesthetics where users can look at it and notice that it’s a ThinkPad after all.

I think that the new T400s is a wake-up call for Lenovo. They have realised that they need to get back to the good old IBM Thinkpad design to keep the Thinkpad brand successful.
This is one improvement that makes sense. It will be very interesting to see just what this new T400s is like.

Yeah, except for the 16:9 display. I won’t be buying a T400s — or any other 16:9 Lenovo product. *sticks nose in the air*
Who said the T400s was 16:9?
The videos of it from the storm chasers link in the previous news post. It certainly looks 16:9.
Please tell me they didn’t put blue led’s in the center thinkpad button. Also, no 16:9 pleeeease.
