Its high-quality ultraportable build and excellent screen are offset, however, by limited performance and a couple of notable design quirks.

A whole raft of Lenovo software is included to help you manage your power consumption and connect to available networks. The programs are intuitive, allowing you to connect to your router at home with ease, while balancing your battery life and performance requirements, for example. Ultimately, the ThinkPad Edge impresses and the power and usability on offer make this is a great choice for both the business person and average consumer.

100% Lenovo Elite Thinkpad Edge 13in
Source: Channel Web Archive.org version
Lenovo laptops are usually aimed at business users, but the Elite Thinkpad Edge 13in is one that would be suitable for home users as well. It uses an AMD Turion X2 L625 processor, not one of the fastest around. The computer also has 4GB of memory and a 320GB hard disk. In order to make the best use of those components it’s loaded with the 64-bit edition of the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. An excellent laptop for work and home users.

The ThinkPad Edge 13 is aimed at small businesses, but keeps the quality feel and many of the ThinkVantage technologies in Lenovo's more costly ThinkPads. A company could do a lot worse than one of these systems, and the price is not much of a premium over rivals such as Dell's no-frills Vostro range.

Lenovo's Edge: A ThinkPad on a Budget
Source: Inside HW Archive.org version
Seeing that their competitors are shifting sizeable quantities of cheap notebooks and that successful business is never based solely on exclusive models, Lenovo decided to approach customers on a budget. The low price of the recently tested X100e is an exception to the prestigious X series and a single model couldn’t have been enough to meet the demands of an entire target group. That’s how the Edge series was created, sheltered by the familiar ThinkPad brand. The interesting thing is that the model we’re presenting this time around contains an AMD CPU, which is the second Lenovo notebook in a row coming in for testing in AMD colours. Edge and X100e have more in common than just the CPU manufacturer, it shows.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad range is regularly associated with high-end business models, but the ThinkPad Edge – the company’s first foray towards a more consumer design - comes at a competitive price that’ll have you lowering your hammer, and piggy breathing a sigh of relief. The laptop, aimed at small and medium business users, is available for only £500, yet still boasts the hallmarks of a ThinkPad laptop: excellent design, excellent usability and excellent durability.

The ThinkPad Edge ends up being a product of compromise, trying to bridge the gap between the business-like ThinkPads and the consumer-centric IdeaPads. But this leaves it somewhere in the middle. It’s a competent and functional laptop, but it’s not good at any one thing, it doesn’t stand out. And on top of that, it’s not a particularly good value.

These days, laptop PC manufacturers have to meet the needs of a wide variety of users, from casual Web surfers to enthusiasts and developers. For all its strengths, the ThinkPad Edge is not without its weaknesses. And perhaps its biggest weakness is that it seems to be stuck somewhere between being a laptop and a netbook. Like a netbook, it's a good deal lighter than a full-sized notebook, and offers longer battery life than you'd get from most laptops, as well.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13″ Review
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
Still, for its balance of performance and longevity, combined with excellent build quality and a brilliant keyboard, there’s plenty to like about the ThinkPad Edge 13. The glossy display is a mild frustration, but otherwise this is a solid machine with plenty to offer both business and consumer buyers. The $799 sticker price can be undercut by around $100 if you shop around, and at that point the Edge 13 almost becomes something of a bargain.

Lenovo's ThinkPad Edge blends features from the ThinkPad series with the design elements of the IdeaPad and actually succeeds. The $800 Intel based laptop provides a good overall platform for those looking for a compact business portable with high build standards. It also works quite well for consumers looking for a laptop with some long running times and excellent ergonomics for typing.

In an effort to compete in the mid-level notebook market, Lenovo created a sleek and slim ThinkPad that’s affordable yet has a solid build. The ThinkPad Edge reaches a good balance between giving users enough power to run essential business and entertainment software while using ultra-low voltage CPUs that give the notebook long battery life by 13” notebook standards, especially with the Intel configuration.

The ThinkPad Edge configuration we tested sells for $899 with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and WiMAX card. Dropping the latter brings the price down to just $799. However, in this competitive price range there seem to be several other arguably better options, like the Asus UL30A with slightly longer battery life or UL80VT with Nvidia Optimus switchable graphics for around $850.

Launching an affordable lightweight laptop that appeals both to lifestyle and business markets is a fine idea and one Lenovo clearly thinks has mileage in it. The new ThinkPad Edge is a stylish and affordable machine that is tasked with getting the ThinkPad brand into the world's coffee shops, as well as its board rooms. A rather attractive proposition for anyone who wants an ultralight laptop that is as much at home at work as it is at play.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge is a very capable notebook and using it for the past two months has brought me to a conclusion similar to the one Matthew Dillon had when he abandoned his various sized netbooks in favor of a Macbook; a powerful 13″ notebook is the perfect compromise between size and use. Thanks to solid performance, good battery life and light weight the Lenovo Edge 13 is a great notebook for professionals or students and provides a glimpse of what ThinkPad’s can look like when they loosen the corporate tie a little.

With its 1.3GHz ULV processor and small size the ThinkPad Edge fits somewhere in between a netbook and ultraportable notebook. I really don’t think we would be seeing systems like this without Windows 7. With Windows 7 you are able to have an underpowered system like this run flawlessly. We had no issues running multiple programs as well as HD video on the Edge.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 does what it's supposed to do, a refreshing look and low cost approach to Lenovo's traditional ThinkPad line that should appeal more to the SMB folks than the bigger corporate enterprises. Sure it's not a souped up workhorse machine like some of the ThinkPad products, but it does offer enough performance for simple productivity usage. It's the first ThinkPad using AMD technology, and quite frankly, it worked well enough that we have no complains. While Intel still has the better platform for ultraportables, AMD has made a decent effort in catching up while still offering a much lower price point.

We personally love the mix of seriousness and fine design, and we definitely love the $549 starting price. Our $899 test machine felt like a great value, and while the ultraportable market is undoubtedly crowded, we can say that the 13" Edge is worth a look if you're in the market for a machine in this size class. For those who spend more time on the go than at home, the three way wireless communication radio is a real boon.

Lenovo’s Edge is a notebook caught between extremes. It’s still too conservative to truly be edgy, but too dressed-up to feel like a real ThinkPad. It’s too expensive to seem like a bargain, but too cheap to boast powerful hardware like a discrete graphics card. It’s too big to compete with netbooks, but too small to get an optical drive. This middle ground isn’t hell. In fact, in many ways it’s very practical. But it makes for a somewhat wishy-washy, bland notebook that doesn’t particularly excel at anything

Just as the Edge series opens up questions about its ThinkPad-liness, we also have to wonder who this computer is aimed at. Big businesses and demanding consumers will stick with their T and X series system and small businesses have the SL line. What does something between the small business and consumer space deliver that isn’t already available? There are cheaper CULV systems on the market and more capable 13-inch small business machines.

In general, the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge is a very successful updating of a staid notebook line that has been in desperate need of it for years. We found a few minor complaints (not enough status lights, for hard-drive access and Wi-Fi, for example), but the Edge still hits all the important notes - everything you love about ThinkPads is here, including a great keyboard (despite the switch to chicklet-style keys). With a few minor tweaks, we'd love to see this new design proliferate through the rest of the ThinkPad line.

If you're a fan of Lenovo's ThinkPad line, you're used to a boring industrial design that looks like it's stuck in 2002, but are willing to put up with it because ThinkPads are so rugged and just plain usable. The new ThinkPad Edge marks the first really significant change to the look and feel of the line in years, but thankfully, it retains almost everything you love about ThinkPads. The ThinkPad Edge is a welcome refresh of Lenovo's workhorse line that improves look and feel without sacrificing the features that make ThinkPads so well-loved.

The uptight ThinkPad image has been taken in a relatively bold new direction with the Edge line. The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge is a budget business laptop for those who want a machine that can do double duty as a personal gadget. Using AMD or Intel ultra-low-voltage processors, the laptops in the Edge line have added gloss and silver touches, and skip the optical drive -- a risky move for a 13.3-inch laptop. They even come in red versions. With a relatively affordable starting price and a new design, the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge loosens up the ThinkPad look. But the missing optical drive means it falls short of being a top-choice compact business laptop.

Do looks matter in a budget business notebook? Budget laptops are necessary for the self-employed and those without lots of money to burn, but those same users might also be entrepreneurs who prefer affordable, nicely designed machines that do double-duty as personal laptops rather than boxy generic systems. With a relatively affordable starting price and a new design, the ThinkPad Edge loosens up the ThinkPad look--but losing an optical drive keeps it a yard short of being a top-choice compact business laptop.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 lives up to its namesake, but there are better looking SMB laptops out there, with longer battery life. Lenovo's ThinkPad series has clung to the same corporate look longer than any other in the business, but it could only go so long before customers get the impression that they're buying the same thing over and over again. So how do you redesign something that's considered blasphemy to redesign?

As far as we're concerned there's no reason to preserve tradition for the sake of it -- especially when you can save some cash by tweaking the formula. Sure, the ThinkPad Edge 13 may not carry some of the premium features of the X301 or other higher-end ThinkPads, but for a budget ultraportable we've got very little to complain about. Of course, there are other options on the market, like the $799 ASUS UL30A with slightly longer battery life and the $825 ASUS UL80Vt with discrete graphics, but this ThinkPad has the edge with a superb feeling keyboard, better build quality and comparable CULV performance.

With its modern design, the $899 Edge 13 is no ordinary ThinkPad, but it offers the same kind of first-rate keyboard, pointing stick, touchpad, and screen we’ve come to expect from its siblings. At this price, the HP ProBook 5310m, which offers a faster CPU, larger hard drive, and an anodized aluminum and magnesium rubberized chassis, represents a slightly better value. However, if you want small business system with stylish looks, solid performance, long battery life, and an incredible keyboard, the Edge 13 is a compelling choice.

Lenovo ThinkPad EDGE 13: Bleeding Edge

It took us a while to decide whether Lenovo EDGE 13 deserves an award. Although it’s close to Best Buy, the fact remains that you can find models with stronger CPUs on the market at a similar or lower price. The keyboard really is phenomenal, but not enough to get the award for outstanding design. However, since this model has definitely hinted at a much brighter future for ThinkPad, awarded or not, this notebook deserves a wholehearted recommendation.

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.

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

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.

ATI Radeon HD 3200: Onboard (shared Memory) graphics chip (on RS780M chipset) based on the HD 2400 graphics core. It also features the UVD video engine to decode HD videos. Beware: Under Windows XP the HD 3200 may have no 2D accelleration because of a driver problem.

ATI Radeon HD 4225: Onboard graphics card (in the RS880M chipset) that is able to decode HD videos (thanks to the UVD2). Technically a slower clocked HD 4250.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

SU7300: Slow clocked dual core processor with a low TDP of 10 Watt.

AMD Turion Neo X2:

L625: Dual-Core CPU for cheap subnotebooks with an integrated DDR2 memory controller and based on the K8 core. Similar performance as an 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo.

AMD Turion II Neo:

K625: Dual Core Entry level CPU for small subnotebooks on a performance level with the SU7300 Intel Core 2 Duo.

K685: Slow clocked dual core processor with an integrated DDR3 memory controller for small subnotebooks.
