The iconic black finish with subtle red highlights on the mouse pad and TrackPoint needs no introduction especially when coupled with an award-winning full-sized keyboard which is spill-resistant. The entire device is finished in textured matte with the ThinkPad logo highlighting the cover panel and interior. From the go, every technical aspect is customizable to suit individual needs.
