I have a T400s. Highly recommend! T410s seems to have some cosmetic but nice updates: http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=349&utm_source=fe...

Upd: I don't care much about battery life, it works fine for me. It comes in stock with 6-cell battery which doesn't stick out of the body unlike in previous models. It is very quiet -- previously I've been constantly annoyed by R61 being too noisy. And new T400s has 5400 rpm drive which makes it even less noisy. Overall it is a great laptop, can't think of any disadvantages.

Cool, thanks; I've been tempted by the T400s before, the T410s might just do it for me. I know there's a 9-cell battery available, and you can replace the DVD drive with an additional battery pack, but all that probably drives up the weight. What I'm wondering about is whether the upgrade from Core2 Duo to Core i5 has had a negative impact in terms of battery life and noise.
