The ThinkPad T530 2392-AQU 15.6" Notebook Computer from Lenovo takes the no-nonsense, business-oriented side of Lenovo ThinkPad notebooks and adds a touch of personality for customer-facing roles in small- to medium-sized businesses. The result is a slimmed down 15.6" computer that weighs just 6.1 pounds. This Lenovo notebook is also wrapped in a refined, soft matte coating with a black finish.
The system is powered by a dual-core Ivy Bridge 2.6GHz Intel Core i5-3320M processor. It also has 4GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive, a SuperMulti DVD burner, 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an integrated webcam and microphone. There are also built-in stereo speakers with Dolby Advanced Audio v2 technology.
While Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) is the installed operating system, this Lenovo notebook comes with a DVD that allows you to upgrade to Windows 8. Windows 8 replaces the traditional Start menu with a redesigned Start screen. The Start screen features tiles that update in real-time, which provide faster access to news, weather forecasts, sports scores, social network updates and more. Windows 8 also focuses more on cloud storage as well as apps, which can be downloaded from the Windows Store. Windows 8 provides a unique user experience.

Comments about Lenovo ThinkPad T530 2392-AQU 15.6" Notebook Computer (Black):
I had to get a laptop within 4 days in order to start a contract job, so I picked B&H because they've never let me down. The Lenovo laptop has plenty of horsepower for work and is a well-built machine that stands up to being carted around every day. The screen is great and the keyboard has a nice feel. I like the laptop so much that I keep using it at home as a personal machine rather than just for work.

Comments about Lenovo ThinkPad T530 2392-AQU 15.6" Notebook Computer (Black):
This built reminds one of a QUALITY PRODUCT which is not so common with many of today's electronics.
One star deduct for not including 8GB RAM; I quickly solved this by obtaining from B&H, a 4GB Crucial Memory Stick & the Operations/sec got a scored boost from 5.0 to 7.5. It came pre-loaded with a 4GB single stick located just under the keyboard, so the empty slot was under the base and was easy to access and install...If you do this install, I'd suggest first viewing a U-tube video first...unless you do memory upgrades upon notebooks in your sleep--:>}
