The Lenovo ThinkPad T440s is one of the best business laptops that you can buy. It has a strong build quality, serious styling, but most importantly, good speed, an excellent keyboard, and plenty of features. However, there is also a T440 (non ‘s’) model available, too. This is more of a low-cost option and we’ve outlined the differences between the two models below, just to make it a little easier for you to device which one to buy.

Processor speed: The ThinkPad T440 is available in a slower speed than the ThinkPad T440s. While both laptops are available with Intel Core i5-4300U and Intel Core i7-4600U processors, the T440 can also be bought with a slower Core i5-4200U processor.
