As a result of a 15-inch large LCD screen, so the volume will be slightly larger than the original machine T series, but the weight has been well controlled, the trip can be streamlined to 2.6 kilograms, has reached its maximum display resolution a 1600 × 1200 pixels. Of course, T42p launch price of up to 4 million will not become mainstream is doomed, but it can satisfy the requirements of the notebook computer almost all the power is selected because the T42p. In some test projects, T42p performance can compared with some high-end desktop shoulder, not only can meet the needs of business people, but also to meet other high-end graphics applications, known as "the movement of a letter workstation.
