I just set up half a dozen new T400s and they looked fine to me.

T400s != T400. The T400s is a premium-range model as far as I can tell, the T400 is about 700 grams heavier and has a worse screen.

How is the T400s by the way? I was thinking of getting one of those, though I'm slightly put off by the 1.8" HDD/SSD bay.

I read T400s as the plural of T400.

Sorry, several new T400 laptops (plural). I believe they were the 14.1" WSXGA+ models. You can buy 'em pretty cheap direct from Lenovo, especially if you wait for a sale code (which seems like every other month)

I didn't realize they still had the -s line, actually.

I should have realised that, sorry. The -s suffix exists for a handful of models (e.g. X200s) and seems to mean "slim" or so.

Unfortunately, it seems you can't order from Lenovo directly in Europe, so no sale prices for me.
