lenovo t430 lcd panel free sample

During Gentoo compilation your T430 may became very hot and even turn off, especially on higher CPU - so you will need to replace HSF too, to have 2 pipes:

ThinkPad T430 supports up to 16 GB of SO-DIMM DDR3/DDR3L memory. Max frequency for some machines is 2133 MHz, but personally I got black screen without loading with 2133 MHz memory, so check in shop before buy. DDR3L is better because it is 1.35V instead of 1.5V so it uses 10 percent less battery with the same performance as DDR3. To check how much of memory the laptop has:

When you"re the gold standard for business notebooks, you have to do everything in your power to stay on top. And Lenovo is doing just that with the ThinkPad T430 ($1,124 as tested), which adds a new Precision Keyboard and enhanced Dolby audio. Plus, the 9-cell battery inside this workhorse promises epic endurance to go along with Ivy Bridge muscle. Is the ThinkPad still the king?

Taking a "if it ain"t broke, don"t fix it" approach, the Thinkpad T430"s lid is outfitted in the durable, yet extremely comfortable, black soft-touch finish. Other mainstays include strong chrome hinges and the Lenovo and Thinkpad insignias in the top left and right corners.

With its 9-cell battery, the 5.2-pound, 13.1 x 9.1 x 1.2 inch T430 is on the heavy side of the thin-and-light notebook category. It easily outweighs the 4.8-pound, 13.2 x 9.2 x 0.81 inch Dell XPS 14, though this ThinkPad weighs the same as its predecessor. Nevertheless, the T430 can still slip in and out of a messenger bag or backpack with relative ease.

The 14-inch, 1366 x 768p, 147 lux display isn"t very bright, 40 lux short of the 187 thin-and-light category average. This is somewhat disappointing, given that the previous model, the T420, had a much brighter 230-lux screen, and a higher resolution of 1600 x 900. Fortunately, that screen is also available on the T430, a $50 option we highly recommend.

Still, the matte display on the T430 delivered sharp, crisp text on CNN.com and Washingtonpost.com. Viewing angles were decent, with clear images from 45 degrees to the left or right of the display.

Thanks to Dolby Advanced Audio technology, the speakers flanking the keyboard delivered fairly loud, rich audio. On George Michael"s "Freedom," warm piano chords and a crisp drumline cascaded gently over Michael"s rebellious tenor. Of the four presets in the control panel (Movies, Music, Gaming) we found that Movies was slightly louder, but Music delivered a richer sound. When we switched to the Gaming preset, the vocals sounded a little hollow and muffled.

Instead of the classic keyboard we"ve come to know and love on the ThinkPad, the T430 features an island-style Precision Keyboard. Our concerns were immediately allayed, as the matte black, smile-shaped keys had plenty of space and provided firm, springy feedback. The keyboard on this notebook feels better than the AccuType layout on the IdeaPad series as well as other ThinkPads we"ve tested with island-style keyboards, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad X230.

The only thing preventing the T430 from offering a perfect typing experience is the plastic palm rest. We"d prefer a soft-touch surface. Like the X230, Lenovo offers an optional backlit keyboard. It doesn"t cost anything extra.

After watching a full-screen video on Hulu for 15 minutes, the T430"s touchpad measured 76 degrees Fahrenheit. That"s well below the 95-degree comfort threshold of what we consider uncomfortable. The space between the G and H keys and the bottom of the notebook were also fairly mild at 78 and 83 degrees, respectively.

Under fluorescent light, images and video captured via the T430"s 720p webcam were a touch grainy, and colors were a bit washed out. Color accuracy improved under natural lighting, but the graininess persisted.

The left side of the T430 houses a pair of USB 3.0 ports (new for this model), a DisplayPort, VGA and a combination headphone/microphone jack. A USB 2.0 port, an ExpressCard/34 slot, a 4-in-1 card reader, a wireless switch, Smart Card reader and a tray-loading DVD burner and a security lock line are on the right side. A USB 2.0 port, the AC adapter and a Gigabit Ethernet jack sit in the rear.

Powered by a 2.6-GHz Intel Core i5-3320M CPU with 4GB of RAM, a 500GB 7,200-rpm hard drive and an Intel HD Graphics 4000, the Lenovo ThinkPad T430 turned in solid performance. During our real-world testing, we streamed video from Netflix with 12 open tabs in Google Chrome and six open tabs in Internet Explorer while running a virus scan.

On PCMark 07, which measures overall performance in Windows 7, the ThinkPad T430 scored 2,907. That"s 664 points above the thin-and-light category average, and much higher than the 2,107 turned in by the T420.

The ThinkPad T430"s 500GB 7,200-rpm hard drive booted the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional in 49 seconds, faster than the 0:59 category average but on a par with the T420. The T430 duplicated 4.97GB of multimedia files in 1 minute and 57 seconds for a speedy transfer rate of 48.5 MBps, much faster than the 29.6 MBps category average.

During the OfficeOffice spreadsheet macro test, the T430 took 4 minutes and 36 seconds to match 20,000 names to their corresponding addresses, well ahead of the 6:05 average. The XPS 14 completed the task in 5:26.

As with most business notebooks, you won"t be going on any hard-core fragging missions on the ThinkPad T430. However, thanks to the Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU, you will be able to watch HD video and play "World of Warcraft" when the mood strikes.

During 3DMark11, the T430 notched a score of 624, fairly below the 757 category average. The XPS 14 and its Nvidia GT 630M GPU scored 1,161. On the "World of Warcraft" benchmark, the ThinkPad T430 averaged 45 fps on auto-detect at 1366 x 768p. That"s certainly playable, but this frame rate falls below the 51 fps thin-and-light average. When we cranked the settings to maximum, the T430 dropped to an unplayable 19 fps, below the 26 fps average.

During the LAPTOP Battery Test (continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi), the Lenovo ThinkPad T430"s 9-cell battery lasted a whopping 13 hours and 25 minutes. That"s more than twice the 6:18 thin-and-light average and much longer than the older ThinkPad T420 with a 9-cell (10:36).

Lenovo doesn"t bog the T430 down with bloatware, choosing to outfit the notebook with a modest suite of helpful business-friendly apps and utilities. The majority of the utilities, such as Password Manager and Enhanced Backup and Restore, handle maintenance and security and can be found under ThinkVantage Tools.

Lenovo SimpleTap 3.0 is another favorite. Launching SimpleTap opened a new display populated by apps represented by tiles, similar to a smartphone interface. With a swift tap of the touchpad or mouse click we could move or launch apps, including shortcuts for Netflix and TV.com or YouTube. Here we were also able to control the volume and launch the webcam.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T430 has everything a business user could want--durability, performance, longevity and security in a well-designed package. The new Precision Keyboard is superb, making this notebook comfortable to use for long stretches. And, thanks to the 9-cell battery, you get more than 13 hours of endurance. While the matte screen on our configuration didn"t wow, you can upgrade to a sharper and brighter 1600 x 900 display for $50. Overall, the ThinkPad T430 is a top-notch business notebook.Lenovo Thinkpad T430: Price Comparison

More power! Having already taken a close look at the cheap US version of the ThinkPad T430s, we now turn to the high end configuration with a Core i7 processor and a 180 GB SSD. Can Lenovo justify a price of over 1700 Euros (~$2200) for its business athlete?

Regardless of this tradition, Lenovo"s development has in no way slowed down: every year the model range undergoes a more or less comprehensive update, which should further improve on the already great qualities. A short time ago we took a look at the 2012 alternative of the 14-inch format, namely the slim ThinkPad T430s, and put it through a detailed test.

A comparison with the corresponding competition from HP and Dell - the EliteBook 8470p and the Latitude E6430s respectively - is not possible here and sadly that is our fault, since we haven"t had the chance to get those models into our test lab for a review (tests being planned). Because of this, this test will be referenced to the predecessor T420s and also the big brother T430.

Simple, straightforward, functional - the T430s fits seamlessly into the classic form and design language of the ThinkPad family. The now somewhat dusty appearance should not distract us from the inner qualities of the notebook: with a chassis made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and magnesium, Lenovo relies on high quality and high tech materials. Despite the reduced thickness in comparison to the T430 (26 mm instead of 30 mm), the stability of the base unit and the display lid is very convincing. In conjunction with the clam shell frame and the solid metal hinges, the T430s is also well prepared for unfavorable environmental conditions.

Because we couldn"t notice any manufacturing defects or other problems with our test model, we want to save on a new description with specific details - you can find all of these details in our first article for the ThinkPad T430s.

Another innovation is seen with the connection of external displays: the integrated HD 4000 can run up to 3 monitors for the first time - theoretically it would be possible for the simultaneous operation of the notebook display as well as two external displays through VGA and Thunderbolt / Mini Display port (Core i5 version: Mini-Display port instead of Thunderbolt). We have asked Lenovo to confirm this assumption and we will update the article accordingly.

In the case that the provided interfaces do not suffice, the T430s can be expanded through the use of the docking station connector on the underside. The Mini Dock Plus Series 3 is available for about 150 Euros (~$194), which offers a number of other connections.

Next to WLAN and Bluetooth 4.0, the T430s-N1RGCGE also has an integrated WWAN module with the standard setup. LTE is unfortunately not supported by the Ericsson H5321gw, but the maximum possibility of 21.6 MBit/s (5.76 MBit/s Upload) in good UMTS networks with HSPA+-expansion leaves nothing to complain about. Useful: with a hardware switch attached to the side of the device, all wireless connections can be easily (de-)activated.

The T430s has its own interesting security features, which are aimed at business customers. With a fingerprint scanner and a Kensington Lock the notebook provides protection against unauthorized access and theft respectively. Should the notebook be lost, the user can lock the ThinkPad remotely or destroy sensitive Data (Intel Anti Theft, Computrace). Further options are enabled through the already installed, although optionally deactivated, TPM chip, which, as an example, can be used for safe drive encryption with Windows Bitlocker (or similar programs).

The most important hardware components of the notebook can be reached with minimal effort and swapped out. Under the two screws of the maintenance panel are the two RAM slots (of which one is free), the WLAN module and also the WWAN module. Warning: the retrofitting of an mSATA SSD is only viable for models without mobile service! Another cover to the front left side of the notebook allows for the hard drive (2.5-inch, 7 mm) to be removed. For the Ultrabay slot, which is occupied by a DVD burner from the factory, there are also further expansions, such as an extra battery (3-cell, 31 Wh).

Customers receive a 3 year manufacturer guarantee from Lenovo, where most others only give out a 1 or 2 year warranty for the quality of their products, this is a real highlight. If necessary, other service packs are available, extending the warranty time to 4 (about 120 Euros, ~$155) or 5 years (about 180 Euros, ~$232).

Keyboard, Touchpad and Trackpoint - this trio, called UltraNav by Lenovo, has been a hallmark of the ThinkPad series for years. Our detailed analysis can be found in previous tests of the T430s and also the T430. To put it simply: the high quality of all three input devices provides little room for criticism and are more than enough for a business device in this price range.

In Germany the T430s is only offered with a matte WXGA++ Display (1600x900 pixels), which our US colleagues have already had the chance to take a close look at. With the 14-inch diagonal screen size, the display has a pixel density of a pleasing 131 DPI, which in our eyes makes sense as a compromise between font size and working area.

Lenovo advertises the display with a brightness of 250 cd/m² (WXGA Version: 200 cd/m²), which our Xrite i1 Pro 2 measuring device (previous tests: Gossen Mavo Monitor) confirmed as nearly exact with an average of 252 cd/m². What is peculiar here is the extremely uneven illumination - the bottom of the display emits almost 100 cd/m² brighter than the top. This is subjective, and can be a result of normal production variances. It"s not that worrying and probably wouldn"t even be noticed by most customers.

Thanks to a somewhat better black level (1.4 cd/m²) our test model reaches a contrast ratio of 200:1, which is still really on the level of cheaper TN panels. Together with the not so significantly improved color range, the images produced remain pale as with the predecessor T420 or the T430.

The display has won some serious points from us here: thanks to the constant brightness (which also remains steady while on battery power) and a non reflective surface, the T430s can be used outside, even with direct sunlight - something that not many ultrabooks manage to achieve.

Lenovo offers the T430s with two different Intel processors: the first is an entry level model Core i5-3320m, and the second variant is the faster Core i7-3520M. The latter is currently the fastest dual core processor on the market and comes from the Ivy Bridge generation. For better performance the Core i7 relies on not only Hyper Threading technology, but also the powerful Turbo Boost, which can raise the base clock speed of 2.9 GHzup to an impressive 3.6 GHz (2 cores 3.4 GHz). With a TDP of 35 watts the modern 22 nanometer process produced CPU fits perfectly into an office notebook of this size.

We begin with the processor. The T430 and the T530, and has already been through our test course multiple times. Can the slim T430s also take full advantage of the CPU power?

Speaking of quad core: with the Core i7-3612QM, as well as the 3632QM, Intel also offers a quad core in the 35 watt TDP class for the first time. Unfortunately, with these models, important features like VT-d or vPro are deactivated, which hinders application in a Lenovo business notebook. It"s a shame - in accordance with the parallel software, this could raise the already excellent performance a further 60 to 70%.

A fast SSD belongs without a doubt in a high end notebook, the corresponding advantages for every day performance are a lot stronger than those from the processor or other components. Lenovo hasn"t just chosen any model here, but rather Intel"s SSD 520, a particularly quick and reliable example of an SSD. Under the hood it is handled through the internally developed SandForce-SF-2281-Controllers, which are also used by other manufacturers such as OCZ and Corsair.

Thanks to the combination of the powerful processor and SSD, the ThinkPad possesses the tools necessary to excel in the system performance benchmarks of the PCMark series. It performs the tests with impressive results: 14,503 points in PCMark Vantage and 4519 points in PCMark 7 outdo all of our already tested office notebooks. The T430s tested by our US editors, which was equipped with a traditional hard drive, has to face defeat with scores of just under 50% less.

In comparison to our last test, the cooling system is somewhat more sensible and acts completely passive only when absolutely idle. Simple operations like surfing the internet or video playback raise the fan in levels up to a good noise volume of 35 dB(A). With the subjectively pleasing frequency characteristics, the T430s stays quite tolerable, even with longer use.

In relation to the maximum power usage of 57.1 watts in the stress test, Lenovo has made the power adapter overly sized at 90 watts. Under realistic conditions that may happen, such as in a 3D game, the energy usage is even smaller - in 3DMark 06 we could measure an average value of just 43.1 watts. Whoever opts for the model variant with an Nvidia graphics card should expect an extra 10 watts.

While the ThinkPad T430s can score points over the T430 when it comes to compact dimensions, it comes at the cost of part of the battery capacity. Instead of 57 or even 94 Wh the 6-cell battery of the T430s contains only 44 Wh; an extension of 31 Wh through the Ultrabay slot is only possible with the removal of the optical drive and is therefore not available for this test.

Despite these handicaps, our candidate is still very impressive in this area and confirms a time of over 7 hours in the Battery Eater Readers Test (energy saving mode, minimum brightness, wireless connections deactivated), which is almost at the manufacturer"s claim (Lenovo: up to 7.6 hours). This test isn"t fully relevant to practical use due to its minimal use of hardware power.

Other features, same verdict: we can repeat the same conclusion in a similar form from our first test. The ThinkPad T430s is an absolutely solid evolution from the predecessor and an interesting alternative to the T430. As for the quality of the case and input devices, there is very little to criticize, which would have surprised us very much if there was, considering the track record in question.

In terms of performance, it is less the costly i7 processor but rather the SSD which makes the real difference. Even a fast hard drive with 7200 rpm can"t get anywhere near the working speed of flash memory, which reduces the start up time of Windows and applications to a fraction of what it would be. All of these factors turn the compact T430s into a complete work device - and when necessary, traveling with UMTS.

What remains is the wish for a better display and a bit of fine tuning on the fan control or the loud DVD optical drive. Overall, you can"t go wrong with the purchase of a ThinkPad T430s - but Lenovo seems to know this fact too, and so sets a rather self confident price ofover 1700 Euros (~$2200).
