Lenovo Thinkpad 410S with keyboard lights coming

Lenovo Thinkpad T410S will come with two keyboard lights, say reports on the web. The Lenovo Thinkpad T410S is an extension of the Thinkpad series, which was originally an IBM brand. The spy photos of the Lenovo Thinkpad T410S on a Chinese website feature TWO keyboard lights at the top of the screen, called “Thinklights”.

The Lenovo Thinkpad T410S is expected to hit the market in February 2010, the Chinese website www.tt315.cn reported.  Details, tech specs and features of the Lenovo Thinkpad T410S are not out so far. The pictures need not be of the final product. There is no information yet about the expected price of the Thinkpad T410S available either.

Keyboard lights are usually purchased as accessories, connected to the USB ports of the computer. The LED lamp of the keyboard light draws very little power, and illuminates the keyboard. Keyboard lights usually have flexible necks, which bend around the screen behind and pop up over it, so that the screen view is not disturbed.

Laptop keyboard lights draw little power, and a FlexiLite ad says that the LED light on the company’s keyboard can run for an hour, on a battery charge of ninety seconds. The Lenovo Thinkpad T410 S will have integrated dual LED lamps on the top of the screen, which provides more illumination, but draws double the power.

Keyboard lights are useful while making a presentation on a laptop in a darkened room, during a power failure, or in a dark room. They come in handy for those who need to see the keys they tap.

The Chinese website also shows pictures of the Lenovo T410S, which has clean lines, the logo of Thinkpad instead of Lenovo on the laptop body, the two “Thinklights”, an additional USB port and more ventilation for cooling.
