About some of the features...
The T410's yellow powered USB port means you can charge your smartphone or other USB-powered devices even when the ThinkPad is in suspend/hibernate mode.
One of the laptop's USB ports is also an eSATA port, which provides a much faster
connection when connected to an external device such as an external hard
drive.
The ThinkPad T410 is optimized for videoconferencing use with dual noise
canceling microphones, low-light sensitive cameras with auto-white
balancing, and a lighted microphone mute switch on the keyboard. Every
T410 comes with an LED backlit display.
The T410 trackpad has multi-touch capability with a slightly
dimpled surface, and its keyboard layout has keys that are
spaced more tightly together. The ESC and Delete keys are larger, and
the Caps Lock and Power switches are lighted.
The ThinkPad T410 is EPEAT Gold-compliant and Energy Star 5.0-certified, making this an excellent choice as a smart, "green" laptop.
