Attention to Detail


We took the no-nonsense business side of the ThinkPad and added a touch of personality for customer-facing roles in small- to medium-sized businesses. The result? A slimmed down laptop —  it's 13 percent thinner than previous generations —  wrapped in a refined, soft matte finish and reinforced with sturdy metal hinges. We also upgraded our legendary spill-resistant keyboard with a numeric keypad (available on the E520) and made sure our multitouch touchpad would be large enough for the most comfortable typing and data-entry experience possible. You can rely on these laptops' design for durability and security, too. Our Active Protection System™ will keep your hard drive safe when you are the move, and a fingerprint reader will make sure your data is safe from unwanted intruders.

The powerful ThinkPad Edge laptop is ready to take on any challenge you dare throw at it. Get rapid computing with 2nd generation Intel® Core™  processors; speed and responsiveness with up to 8 GB of DDR3 RAM and large storage space with up to 750 GB HDDs. Integrated Intel® HD Graphics deliver a smoother experience with visually demanding applications, while Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0 delivers accelerated boot times. Besides working faster, the E420/E520 will also help you work smarter with eco-friendly initiatives: packaging made out of 100 percent recyclable material and compliance with environmental standards (including ENERGY STAR, EPEAT® Gold and the RoHS Directive).

Keep in touch with your employees, your clients and the rest of the world with a slew of available connections: WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet, and options for WWAN, WiMAX and Bluetooth®.  During Web calls and video conferences, quickly switch your microphone to "conference room mode" to enhance multiple voices from across the room, and enable keyboard noise suppression technology so that you can freely take notes. Continue to maximize your VoIP experience with our ThinkVantage® Communications Utility —  a hub that allows you to control your most important business tools (like the integrated HD 720p low-light sensitive webcam) in one place.
