If you're on a tight budget but want that Lenovo ThinkPad durability, superb keyboard and upgradable design, the ThinkPad E450 is a solid machine. It's slimmed down and it has the same understated look as other ThinkPad models. The display isn't as good as $1,000 and up laptops, but it's good for the price.

The Lenovo ThinkPad E450 is a decent budget laptop for business use. The E450 probably isn’t the best choice for those who need to do a lot of typing or for those who run graphically intensive applications, but as general purpose usage goes, the E450 should be more than enough to get the job done.

Lenovo Thinkpad E450 Review

The keyboard is terrific and battery life is acceptable. I’d have liked to see a default solid state drive in this machine for better performance and a little less noise, but I can understand that business users will value storage above all else. There are no deal-breakers here, I just wish the ThinkPad e450 was a little quieter and a bit thinner.

For $730 ($580 starting price), the Lenovo ThinkPad E450 offers an excellent, spill-resistant keyboard; a useful fingerprint reader; and a familiar Windows 7 experience, all in a durable build. Unfortunately, its subpar battery life and dim display diminish its appeal. If you're willing to shell out a few hundred dollars more, you can get the ThinkPad T450s, which offers exceptional endurance, great durability, better performance and a more attractive display.

All in all, the Lenovo ThinkPad E450 is a good option for shoppers looking for an affordable, no-frills ThinkPad experience. For a starting price of $550 ($788 as configured), it boasts the same attractive exterior, first-class keyboard, and long battery life that made its more costly siblings famous, as well as a plethora of optional upgrades such as an integrated fingerprint reader, a solid-state drive, and up to a Core i7 processor.

There is a tile-style keyboard, which enables ergonomic typing and a touchpad combined with the famous TrackPoint feature. The hinges are solid with Lenovo's drop-down hinge system and the ThinkPad E450-20DC007EPB is equipped with a safety feature that sensors when the laptop is being dropped.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

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.

68.25%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
