Lenovo ThinkPad EDGE information leaks

This new ultraportable device targets small businesses and will be available soon.

Reportedly, a new member of Lenovo’s family is about to be launched. The ThinkPad EDGE targets small businesses that can take advantage of this 13.3-inch notebook.

Lenovo’s new ultraportable device will probably be placed between the ThinkPad business notebooks and the IdeaPad models. Supposedly, this new mini-laptop will have a fresh design and high quality features at a reasonable price.

Allegedly, there are going to be two versions to choose between. The AMD version will house either the Turion X2 L625 CPU at 1.6GHz or the Athlon Neo X2 L325 processor clocked at 1.5GHz. The second option will be a notebook powered by an Intel CPU. Customers may choose between the Pentium SU4100 (1.3GHz) and the Core 2 DUO SU7300 processor clocked at 1.3GHz.

The rest of the features will be the same for both the AMD and Intel versions. The Lenovo ThinkPad EDGE will house 4GB of memory, up to 500GB of storage, a Webcam, an SD card slot and a Multi-touchpad. In addition, connectivity options include Wi-Fi N, a Gigabit LAN, a Bluetooth and HDMI interface.

Recent reports claim that the new mini-device will come with Microsoft’s Windows 7 Home Premium OS, again with the option to choose between 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  Furthermore, the ThinkPad EDGE weighs 1.6kg (≈3.5lb) and will be available in late 2009 or early 2010. This product is priced at around $550 and will come with a 4- or 6-cell battery.
