amazon Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 reviews

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 is a new Lenovo ThinkPad lineup and produced. Inheriting the reputation of the entrepreneurial laptops once owned by IBM, the ThinkPad Edge seems to be geared towards young, dynamic, mobile users. The machine is sold in three colors: black, red and black gloss.

Angles are also rounded with silver edges rather than angles like the traditional ThinkPad line. Edge is decorated with two ThinkPad logos on both the top and the inside. In it, the dot in the letter I becomes a power light.

The ThinkPad Edge is 33.2 x 22.8 x 3 cm in detail and weighs in at 1.7kg with a 6-cell battery that makes it easy to carry around on long trips.

Edge owns a lot of ports, the left edge includes Kenshington lock, VGA, HDMI, LAN, USB. Right edge is the power connector, 2 USB ports, headphone jack and 5 types of memory card reader. Unfortunately, this model does not own eSATA high speed data exchange ports. In addition, optical drive is not integrated to reduce the weight and size of the machine will cause a lot of inconvenience to the user.

In the meantime, the front edge does not have a built-in connector but swims down to make room for the speaker system below. Due to the small size to prioritize the “mobile” and convenient to hear only in the room size is not large, less than 20 m2. However, the sound quality of the speakers is quite good, the sound is clear and the bass is slightly clear and the speakers do not play stereo.

Unlike the traditional ThinkPads, Edge has a built-in chiclet keyboard with curved styling. But this style of design has made new users hard to get used to. When manipulation on the keyboard feels “embarrassed” hands and press the keys are not standard. However, bounce and sensitivity are good. Another difference in this keyboard is Lenovo has boldly change the button function F1, F2, F3 …. into the secondary button (ie want to use these keys the user must simultaneously press both Fn function key in the bottom left corner of the keyboard).

In addition, the machine also owns multi-touch mouse pad. Throughout the test, the sensitivity of the touchpad is very good, no fingerprints, swipe operation to zoom accurately only one thing is regrettable that the two mouse keys slightly deep subsidence when used.

The ThinkPad Edge has a 13.3-inch, 1366-by-135-pixel screen that displays a very fresh and crisp color. When testing high definition video, HD and Full HD can be tracked from the viewing angle, even from 90 degrees. This can be considered as the advantage of the machine compared to other models of screen laptops often narrow view. However, when used in the office with neon lights, the screen is still quite annoying balloon, the only way to overcome the problem is to maximize the screen brightness to prevent glare.

The new Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools management tool comes with a number of useful features, including password management, hardware driver updates, battery management, and PC performance (displays the remaining usage time or the time it will charge the battery when the power cord is plugged in).
