The T410 is the second model in the T4xx series and was produced between January 2010 and July 2011. It was also the first donation for my collection.

While I don’t usually put stickers on my ThinkPads, this T410 has maximum nerd cred: various stickers from the CCC’s haze bubble indicate the interests of the previous owner. An interesting, albeit questionable, highlight is an engraving on the display lid. The device has almost the maximum hardware configuration, but does without Bluetooth.
