Press quotes
"Enter the Lenovo ThinkPad SL300, SL400 and SL500, which are designed - and priced - specifically with you in mind. These models contain most of the features that have made ThinkPad a standard (most notably the excellent keyboard and security features) but leave out the enterprise-oriented features that drive up the price. The result: notebooks that let small business owners and sole proprietors switch to a ThinkPad, without the cost penalty."
Leaving Smart Business Computing, November 2008
"Overall, the SL400 is a sound business laptop...Its combination of performance and value places it near the top of our charts."
Leaving PC World, November 2008
"Lenovo pushed all the right buttons when it crafted the ThinkPad SL400 business laptop. It's portable enough to suit most road warriors, but fast enough to keep their apps running smoothly."
Leaving Computer Shopper, August 2008
"Compared to similar offerings from Dell, HP, and other companies the SL series is still looking pretty good because Lenovo was able to leverage the existing ThinkPads in order to put out a very solid product."
Leaving Geek.com, August 2008
"The laptop, a Vista Business-based Lenovo ThinkPad SL500, is astonishingly powerful...It posts a Windows Experience Index score higher than that of my desktop machine back home, and the typically excellent ThinkPad keyboard and 15-inch widescreen display makes this machine even more comfortable to use than that desktop."
Leaving Windows IT Pro, August 2008
"The Bottom Line: The Test Center can recommend both the ThinkPad X200 and the ThinkPad SL 400...The SL 400 can simply give VARs a strong weapon to win sales in small-business accounts."
Leaving CRN ChannelWeb, July 2008
"Designed from the outset as an SMB offering, the ThinkPad SL series aims to combine value with performance while still offering the features that matter the most to small and medium businesses."

Press quotes
"The Lenovo T500 as a whole is a great step up from the T61... System performance was phenomenal, coming close to workstation or gaming notebook levels."
Leaving Notebookreview.com, August 2008
"The T500 Thinkpad is the latest 15.4" refresh of the longstanding T-series out of Lenovo. Combining the latest generation of Intel goodies, ATI Hybrid graphics, and DisplayPort connection this notebook has many new things to offer over the previous ThinkPads."
Leaving Notebookreview.com, August 2008
"The ThinkPad T61 is basically as good as it gets when it comes to laptop computers."

"The ThinkPad T61 was released in May of 2007 and is still holding strong on the most popular charts."

Press quotes
"Once we took a closer look at the just-announced W700, though, we got our answer: We want one... This is a big, powerful system, aimed at digital content professionals: photographers, videographers, animators, CAD/CAM engineers, and the like."
Leaving Maximum PC, August 2008
"At SIGGRAPH 2008, Lenovo introduced what can arguably be described as the most innovative workstation-class notebook computer of the year, if not the last several years."
Leaving Digital Media Net, August 2008
"In a world dominated by news of little bitty laptops Lenovo is stepping in with the biggest, baddest ThinkPad ever, the W700. This bad boy is aimed squarely at the professional artist, photographer, engineer and geophysical worker as the W700 is a complete mobile workstation."
Leaving JKontheRun.com, August 2008
"Lenovo's new ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation is full of firsts. The 17-inch laptop is the first time ThinkPad has ventured into desktop replacement territory, and its larger-than-ever case will pack in not only the latest-generation components, but also two features we've never before seen on a laptop: a digitizing pad integrated into the wrist rest, and a built-in color calibrator."
Leaving CNET Crave, August 2008
"Lenovo's ThinkPad W700 is a 17-inch behemoth that's the first notebook ever with a built-in Wacom digitizer. Designed for professional use in industries such as graphic design, photography and CAD, the digital tablet lets you manipulate images in programs like Photoshop without any extra gear."

Press quotes
"Equipped with the Centrino 2 processor, Lenovo's ThinkPad X200 looks a mild-mannered ultraportable, yet it can leap tall workloads in a single bound. Its battery life is phenomenal, and the keyboard is huge."
Leaving PC World, December 2008
"Record-breaking battery life; strong performance for an ultraportable; comfortable full-size keyboard; wide-screen display with a sharp resolution; WWAN and GPS options."
Leaving ESPN Tech Gear Guide, December 2008
"The Test Center's editors were blown away by the features, design, engineering and performance of this notebook — a notebook aimed squarely at business and one that, we believe, delivered a new way to consider personal computing and connectivity even beyond its product segment."
Leaving CRN, November 2008
"Among Windows-based laptops, my favourites include Lenovo's ultra-thin ThinkPad X series because of their superb keyboards, long battery life and solid build."
Leaving Financial Times, December 2008
"Overall, the X200s is an excellent business ultraportable due to its durability, light weight, great battery life (at least with a 9-cell battery) and more than adequate performance when it comes to business related applications."
Leaving Notebooksreview.com, December 2008
"The X200 is one super ultraportable with full-featured performance, battery life and a good keyboard to boot."
Leaving PC World, October 2008
"The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is a business-quality ultraportable notebook that can stand up to almost anything a road warrior can throw at it, and provide upwards of 10 hours of battery life for those late-night meetings."
Leaving Notebookreview.com, November 2008
"The X200 should have heads turning and users thinking about making a new purchase."
Leaving Tablet PC Review, September 2008
"At less than three pounds with a battery life that's among the best we've seen, the X200 takes mobile PCs for business to the next level."
Leaving CRN, September 2008
"We heartily recommend that anyone in the market for a small, portable business notebook take a good, hard look at the ThinkPad X200."
Leaving Hot Hardware, August 2008
"The 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen. With a variety of connectivity options and a roomy keyboard, the X200 makes a great ultraportable for road warriors."

Leaving PC World, August 2008
"When it comes to day-to-day mobile usage the X200 will be an ideal tool for anyone who wants something small and light but does not want to sacrifice on performance or usability, especially concerning their keyboard."
Leaving Geek.com, August 2008
"Lenovo has just announced their newest ultra-portable, the X200... I've been fortunate enough to have used the X200 over the last several days and let me tell you – it flies!!! If this is any indication of the future X200 Tablet PC, I can't wait!"

"The X200 is a classy business notebook that leaves little to complain about, especially considering its price point."
Leaving Notebooks.com, July 2008
"The Bottom Line: The Test Center can recommend both the ThinkPad X200 and the ThinkPad SL 400. In fact, the X200 is now giving the X300 a run for its money for the title of year's best notebook."
Leaving CRN ChannelWeb, July 2008
"Lenovo's heralded "rock solid" design? Check. An ample amount of ports stuffed into a lightweight package? Check. A price tag that's on the good side of reasonable? Check. Laptop has just awarded Lenovo's recently announced X200 ultraportable an Editor's Choice award after determining that what it has is likely what you'll want."
Leaving Engadget, July 2008

Leaving Digital Trends, April 2008
"After visiting the Apple store last week, I would have purchased the MacBook Air had I had the money. I'm glad I waited until I got my hands on the X300. WOW!! I'm amazed every time I pick up the X300 at how light and well balanced it is."
