![]() We measured 2.9 MB/s up to 17.88 MB/s in combination with a Fritz!Box 7490 depending on the distance in our personal review environment, which is only an indicator and the results should not be transferred to other usage scenarios. It supports 2.4 as well as 5 GHz networks, has two antennas and it can reach theoretical transfer rates of up to 867 Mbps. Our review unit is equipped with Intel’s Dual-Band Wireless-AC 7260 WLAN module. Toshiba's Tecra W50 weighs 2,710 grams and the very sturdy HP ZBook 15 G2 weighs at least 3 kilograms. It seems that the goal was a weight reduction: The Lenovo ThinkPad W541 weighs 2,600 grams (with 99-Wh battery), which is very light for a conventional mobile 15-inch workstation. We can see the reason for the comparatively low chassis stability when we look at the weight. The touch sensitive surface is now smaller with around 100 x 56 millimeters. While the size of the indentation in the palm rest is similar, Lenovo cut off the upper part of the ClickPad and replaced it with three dedicated TrackPoint buttons. ![]() It appears that stabilizing elements are just missing, so we do not get the stiffness that we expect from a ThinkPad. Quite the contrary: We only have to rest our hands on the palm rest to provoke an audible contact between the outer shell and the internal components. ![]() The ThinkPad W541 basically uses the same chassis, which means Lenovo did not improve the weaknesses of the ThinkPad W540 in the area of the palm rest, above the ExpressCard slot and at the lower display frame. ![]()
