Lenovo's ThinkPad Edge 13" is a 13.3in business laptop that looks unlike most ThinkPad notebooks. It has a glossy screen, raised and rounded keys and a two-tone colour scheme, and it doesn't have some of the traditional features we expect on a ThinkPad (such as a screen-mounted keyboard light). There is good reason for this — it's designed to be an inexpensive, yet very portable machine with good performance and battery life. For the most part, it succeeds in meeting these goals.The ThinkPad...

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...
