Lenovo ThinkPad edge E420s would never accused of being beautiful, even if it is worth noting that the ThinkPad range has come a long way since Lenovo acquired it from IBM. They are still built like tanks but, and E420s is built to dispose of certain damages on his travels.
For users of old-school laptops give Lenovo a choice of input methods. There is a trackpoint to control the cursor, placed in the middle of the keyboard, along with left and right click on the buttons below the SPACEBAR, or you can use the more popular the trackpad with two buttons at the bottom, it is up to you.
Given that there is the widest chassis on the test, typing on the keyboard is relatively comfortable, but you must learn to avoid accidentally knocking trackpoint if you do not want the cursor scooting out of awkward moments.
Lenovo's ThinkPad edge is that people who want to have a laptop computer for use on the fly, weighs only 2 kg, so it seems strange to us that it must have a bad battery. In our tests ran ThinkPad only for two and three quarter hours before expiring, almost two hours during the next worst models in the batch.
But it has plenty of grunt, Scoring 119 points in our WorldBench 6 tests. This also applies to a stand-alone graphics processor, AMD Radeon HD 6630, although we doubt that many players would consider buying this model.
The hard drive is so small. Although 320 GB should be good for users who are in their file management, it is the second smallest model in this group test.
Screen 14in is another oddity. Lenovo has selected a glossy finish, which is not ideal for a focused on work laptop, and angles are not great either. But there is a fingerprint reader for additional security, useful for a business laptop on the go.
