The dedicated graphics card adds to its price and won’t be necessary for a lot of people, but the ThinkPad Edge E520 is still a very well-rounded laptop that costs less than you might think for its specification.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E520 Review
Source: Student Buying Guide Archive.org version
If you’re on a budget, as many of us are, then the Edge E520 with its quality build and latest Intel processor technology is a great buy in the mid $500 range. The E520 is a practical laptop for those on a budget but who still want something that’s going to last and won’t be outdated technology wise in two years. The base level configuration should be ample performance for the average buyer, I found that the Intel Core i3-2350m processor was a nice bump in performance over the former Core i3-2310m that used to come with the ThinkPad E520. Even though the E520 is a little more modern with its design than the classic ThinkPad, it’s still probably not going to turn heads. The lack of a screen resolution upgrade from 1366 x 768 is unfortunate too, the more premium T520 has 3 screen resolution options, the E520 should at least have gotten 2.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

AMD Radeon HD 6630M: Successor of the slow clocked (low power) versions of the Mobility Radeon HD 5650 with more cores, UVD3 processor and Eyefinity+.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics 3000: Integrated graphics card in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core ix-2xxx). The HD 3000 is the faster (internally GT2 called) version with 12 Execution Units (EUs).

79.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
