[...] The T400 is certainly as competent as the T400s, but the screens are a bit lackluster and it has a fair amount more heft than the T400; but at nearly half the price, it certainly is tempting. For the record, the T400 is 1.1-1.3 inches thick and weighs 5.0 lb with the 6-cell battery. The T400s is 0.83-1.02 inches thick and weighs 3.9 lb with 6-cell battery; quite a difference there. Don’t forget I compared the T400s and T400 in a post here. [...]

Lifting by the corner of the screen didn’t do my T43p any favours, regardless of how much the lip makes it seem like it’s OK.
After 18 months I had to replace the hinge. Lenovo quoted £230 plus parts for the job BTW, even though machine was in warranty. Found hinge on eBay though.

I notice that the T400 has a better feel to the keyboard. is it just me or does both the T400 and T400s have the same keyboard. i think it is not since the layout is different and the T400 has the regular sized keys.

You will want to convert the 3.5mm mini-stereo output on the T400s to something that your TV supports. This is probably a standard 2-channel RCA connection. Find out what audio inputs are on your TV, then shop online or go to a store and look for a cable that will connect 3.5mm mini-stereo to that connection.
Edited to correct mini-stereo info

You can purchase a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and it will work fine – I’ve used it on the T400s with my HDMI TV. However it will not transfer audio, so you will need a separate cable for that. The W700/W700ds, T400s, and X301 have DisplayPort built-in. The X200 dock also has it. All ThinkPad SL models have HDMI.
