    Hello everybody,

    I have seen many pics where the size of the notebook itself is shown but not any about the thickness.

    Can someone please show me ( with a pic ) or with measurements how thick is a t400?
    Any comparison is good enough !
    Like dvds piled up against thickness etc... just to have an idea :)
    ( A mbp vs a t400 would be really sweet! )

    Thanks a lot ! :)

    I'll see if I can get a side by side comparison pic for you tomorrow. But in general, the T400 is pretty slim, not x300 or macbook air slim, but slim enough.

    This is a comparison next to my POS old Dell 9100. Its about 2 inches thick. And theres also a Zune 80gig in front of the T400. The shots kinda suck, but I just have a point and shoot so i cant do anything spectacular.

    So the t400 is about 1.5x a zune 80gb...

    ****. I like very much the shape of the T400. I was in love with 4:3 laptops but now I think this 14.1 WS is making me fall for widescreens.

    I was pleasantly surprised with how thin the t400 is. Much thinner than i thought it would be.

    I too expected it to be much thicker... the size of my T400 is one thing I'm very pleased about. I thought 14.1 was going to be too large for me, but it's perfectly manageable most of the time.
