Display

The 14-inch display resolution is 1366 x 768, which isn't the highest resolution out there, but it's perfectly adequate for everyday tasks. The display is also LED-backlit, which means that it's bright and crisp, even in direct sunlight. The viewing angles are good, too, so you won't have to struggle to find the perfect angle to watch a movie or work on a document.

Performance

The Intel Core i5-4300U processor is a 4th-generation processor that's powerful enough for most office tasks. You can easily browse the web, edit documents, and even do some light photo editing. The 8GB of RAM is also plenty for multitasking, so you can have multiple applications open at the same time without experiencing any slowdown.

Storage

The 128GB SSD is a nice upgrade over a traditional hard drive. It means that the laptop will boot up much faster and applications will launch much faster, too. However, 128GB isn't a lot of storage, so you'll probably need to use an external hard drive if you want to store a lot of music, movies, or games.

Keyboard

The ThinkPad keyboard is one of the best in the business. It's spill-resistant, it has excellent key travel, and it's very comfortable to type on. Even if you're typing all day long, your fingers won't get tired.

Battery life

The battery life of the ThinkPad T440 is up to 8 hours, which is good for a business laptop. This means that you can go through a workday without having to plug it in.
