Lenovo's T400s Gets Run Over By Truck

News

The first images of Lenovo’s T400s were leaked just this week and already, the company has released videos of people running it over with trucks and subjecting it to tornado-grade winds.

No, you’re not looking at a video made by some frustrated Lenovo employees disappointed by the notebook. Slashgear reports that this video along with one of the laptop left outside during a tornado, were made to demonstrate how tough this notebook really is.

There’s nothing official on specs or price yet, but rumor says it’ll come packing an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 14.1-inch screen, an integrated 4500MHD graphics processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 120 GB hard drive and Windows Vista pre-loaded. Nothing at all on price.

Check out the two videos below!

    The title is poorly worded.

    You need to include the word "by" as in "Lenovo's T400 Run Over by Truck". This titles describes a laptop running over a truck.

    A laptop ran over a truck? That's pretty amazing.

    Hey, I wrote the article but not the title. I'll try and fix it. Give me a sec.

    The "left outside during a tornado" portion was entirely underwhelming. What you meant to say was "left ouside whilst there was a tornado about 50, maybe 100, miles away." They dropped it a few times, got it a little wet, and then took it home. Where was the F5 tornado ripping along, picking up the notebook and dropping it in the next county? THATs a notebook I would want in my backpack (at that point I could simply use the notebook's indestructibility as a shelter against any calamity.)

  • What gets me about this article is that it talks like the T400 isnt publicly available, but they are on Lenovo's website and we have been using them at work for several months.

    I can't see the videos at work, so I'm just going to assume that the first video is a video of a lenovo laptop being run over Space Marine Style by Dawn of War.

    Awesome.

    Naturally the grammar police have replied first. By the way, the title is POORLY worded, not badly. Ironic isn't it.

    And I wasn't annoyed by the grammar, my hopes were crushed when I didn't see a video of some monster rig battle a Monster Trunk in a giant arena with fire breath.
