Last March (2010), we wrote an in-depth review on the first Edge 13 . At that time , the test model had a glossy display and lacked an eSata port. Since then, the manufacturer has also replaced the AMD Turion X2 Neo K625 or L625 (1.5/1.6 GHz) CPU with a N...

Having been reasonably surprised by the baby Lenovo ThinkPad X100e, it’s the turn of its larger, Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 to hit the SlashGear test bench. As with the X100e, the Edge 13 trades some of Lenovo’s traditional styling in favor of a cheaper p...

It's been a while since we last reviewed a portable system from Lenovo. You might recall, their IdeaPad S10 was our top pick in the netbook round-up we published over a year ago for delivering the most solid package between the keyboard, screen and bui...
Build quality of the ThinkPad Edge is top notch. The notebook feels very sturdy and the glossy lid adds to the overall style of the system -- be prepared for plenty of fingerprints to accumulate on it, though. The 1366 x 768 resolution of its 13.3" LC...

Intel's CULV (Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage) processors are low power chips that help bridge the performance and battery life gap between netbooks and mainstream laptops. Take the Core 2 Duo SU7300 as an example. While it runs at only 1.3GHz (standard notebooks typically have CPUs clocked at 2GHz+), the SU7300 has a thermal design power of only 10W. The mainstream T6000 serie...

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 rea...

Overall I find it interesting that Lenovo added the Edge to the ThinkPad lineup. The only features it shares with the ThinkPad notebooks is the recognizable touchpad with pointing stick controls and the logo on the palmrest. If it was introduced as a new IdeaPad the keyboard change would have been better received and the chassis design would have been criticized less. With that said it is a very...
