Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 Pro Reviews

Notebookcheck‘s review Edit

The cheap 13.3 inch Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 (665D817 - under 400 Euros) offers a few special features which are usually not found in notebooks of this price class. The laptop has first-class input devices (touchpad, trackpoint, keyboard). The sturdiness of the chassis is great and the massive metal hinges support the display very well.

Digital Trends‘s review Edit

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.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

With admirable build quality and a sharp, colourful screen, the ThinkPad Edge 13" is almost an excellent ultraportable laptop for business users and consumers alike. However, the restrictive performance makes it hard to recommend compared to some other laptops.

Engadget‘s review Edit

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.

AnandTech‘s review Edit

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. Sure, it costs about the same as the similarly specced Acer Timeline 3810T, but then we wouldn't necessarily recommend that laptop either. If you don't need VT-x, dropping to a Pentium SU4100 will get you about 97% of the SU7300 performance while saving $120.

SlashGear‘s review Edit

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.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

By combining the quality and usability of more expensive models with the style and features of a consumer machine, the ThinkPad Edge is another strong addition to the Lenovo range. The low-performance won't suit all needs, but this is a great machine for frequent travel use.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

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.

TechSpot‘s review Edit

Aimed at style- and budget-conscious business users, this system features some firsts from Lenovo, like a new keyboard layout and a low entry price for ThinkPads at just $579.

PC World‘s review Edit

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.

HardwareZone‘s review Edit

Lenovo tweaks its business ThinkPad range with a new look and a much lower price. Yes, dear readers, black is out and bright gorgeous glossy red is in. Intrigued yet?

Register Hardware‘s review Edit

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 ThinkPad Edge 13's superb keyboard, excellent battery life, and light weight make it a very appealing choice for use on the road.

SlashGear‘s review Edit

The Edge 13 trades some of Lenovo’s traditional styling in favor of a cheaper price tag and the possibility of a few more mainstream consumer sales. Has it lost its way in the process?

Notebookcheck‘s review Edit

With the ThinkPad 13, Lenovo presents a very elegant business device with a 13.3 inch screen that is different than other ThinkPads. Aside from an elegant black, the ThinkPad Edge 13 is also available in charcoal and red. Lenovo's ThinkPad range stands above all for good quality and a high durability.

The looks won't be everybody's cup of tea, but this latest ThinkPad is cheap and eminently sensible

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 lives up to its namesake, but there are better looking SMB laptops out there, with longer battery life.
