Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15-NVN2PUK

50% Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
In short, the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge makes too many sacrifices for no real benefit. It's thoroughly trounced by the Acer and HP in every respect, from raw power for getting more done to size, weight and build quality. With so many great machines on offer in the sub-£450 space, it's impossible to recommend the ThinkPad Edge for any user.

For those seeking the most value out of a laptop, the ThinkPad Edge 15 by Lenovo is definitely worth checking out. It is affordable and user friendly, suitable as a small business laptop. Right out the box, the ThinkPad Edge 15 gives of the impression of a rather conservative build. It is very thick and boxy. However, its black matte surface is pretty fingerprint resistant. With 5.5 pounds (2.49 kg), the Edge 15 is not the heaviest laptop in the market, but it is probably more suitable for use at the office desk than on the go.

As the name suggest, the Edge 15 comes with a 15.6 inch screen, which is great for those who like to work with multiple applications at the same time. The large size of the laptop also means sufficient space for a full length keyboard. The ThinkPad Edge 15 comes with one of Intel's latest i3 processors, a measly 2 GB RAM and an integrated graphics card. As a result it is only apt for casual browsing and word processing, and slows down on intensive operations such as video encoding or gaming. The battery life of just above 4 hours also is mediocre. Overall it is a good laptop in terms of user interface, but the hardware conforms to the price.

ATI Radeon HD 4250: Onboard graphics card (in the RS880M chipset) for AMD processors with Avivo HD support and technically a higher clocked HD 4200.

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

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

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.

50%: This rating is bad and very rare. There are only a few models that are rated so poorly. If the source is reputable, then a purchase is probably not advisable.
