Lenovo ThinkPad T430u finally hits the market

First announced at CES earlier this year, here we are with the Lenovo ThinkPad T430u that is finally ready to make its debut in the Ultrabook market, targeting those in business suits. Do bear in mind that another claim to fame that the Lenovo ThinkPad T430u has would be this – it can be considered as one of the first few Ultrabooks which sport a Thunderbolt port, now how about that?

Going up for sale later this month, the Lenovo ThinkPad T430u will retail for $779 a pop, and will come with a 14″ display at 1366 x 768 resolution, while coming with an array of Ivy Bridge processors from Intel to boot. Not only that, it will also come with up to 8GB RAM, with a choice between different hard drive capacities or a 128GB solid-state drive, in addition to an optional NVIDIA GeForce GT620M CPU with 1GB of video memory. Do you think that this could very well be the poor man’s Lenovo X1 Carbon?

Lenovo’s ThinkPad T430u Ultrabook finally arriving this month for $779

Remember the Lenovo ThinkPad T430u? The Ultrabook aimed at business users (and one of the first PCs with a Thunderbolt port, we might add)? If it fell off your radar, we wouldn’t really fault you: it was announced all the way back at CES (read: seven months ago). At the time, Lenovo warned us it wouldn’t ship until Q3, and indeed, it’s about to go on sale later this month, starting at $779. In case you need a refresher, this was one of the first ultraportables we saw to really test the meaning of the word Ultrabook: it has a 14-inch (1366 x 768) display and will be offered with Ivy Bridge processors, up to 8GB of RAM, a choice of HDDs or a 128GB solid-state drive and an optional NVIDIA GeForce GT620M CPU with 1GB of video memory. All told, not a bad proposition for road warriors who can’t bring themselves to spend $1,400 on an X1 Carbon.
