Lenovo ThinkPad Edge

ThinkPad Edge Laptop Comparison

Lenovo made the ThinkPad Edge an affordable and functional laptop so it would be the first ThinkPad to capture some of the mass consumer market, as opposed to ThinkPad laptops only being used for business.

All ThinkPad Edge laptops have energy-efficient, LED-backlit displays.

You can get a ThinkPad Edge in three sizes (13.3-inch, 14.0-inch, and 15.6-inch), and with each size you can get either AMD processors (paired with ATI graphics) or Intel processors.
