Press quotes
"...an eco-friendly business notebook made from post-consumer recycled content... the Lenovo ThinkPad L420 is an above-average offering in the value business notebook segment."
Leaving Notebook Review, June 2011
"...this [ThinkPad L420's] great keyboard, snappy performance, and reasonable price make it a compelling option for professionals who aren't willing [to] sacrifice quality...if a solid typing experience, good performance, and a budget-friendly price are what you're after, the ThinkPad L420 fits the bill."
Leaving Laptop Magazine, April 2011
"Users will love the ability to shut [their L520's] notebook lid and go to another office or meeting room without losing their WiFi connection and the ability to switch between private chat mode and conference mode depending on who the user wants the microphone to listen to. Everyone will appreciate the noise suppression which keeps the keyboard clicking and clacking from carrying over during video chats."

Press Quotes
"The Lenovo ThinkPad E420s offers plenty of on-the-go computing power for small business users thanks to its powerful processor and speedy hard drive–and five hours of battery life is nothing to sneeze at."
Leaving PC Magazine, July 2011
"...the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E420 shapes up as an attractive general-use laptop if gaming and processor-intensive tasks--or superlong battery life--aren't of major concern. It's good looking, easy to type on, and equipped with a useful array of features and software."
Leaving PC World, July 2011
"The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E420s delivers a more affordable ThinkPad experience to small business users without cutting corners on reliability and looks. On the contrary, this luscious looking business notebook combines chrome accents with extras like Dolby Home Theater v4 to deliver a notebook worth asking for by name...The keyboard offers an amazing typing experience, the battery lasts long enough to get most users through the day and the processor isn't a slouch. Combine this with the ThinkPad build quality and matte black finish, and you have a business notebook that can take on higher priced competitors."
Leaving Notebooks.com, July 2011
"...[the E420s] palm rest and keyboard surround, lid, and bottom of the notebook have a rubber non-slip coating, which feels great and adds a measure of durability."
Leaving Notebook Review, June 2011
"...[the E220s] offers a great value to business users and students. The compact size, hearty performance and wonderful keyboard come together in a package that makes us wonder how Lenovo can offer it all for this price."
Leaving Notebooks.com, June 2011
"...[the Lenovo E220s] may not look exactly like a traditional ThinkPad, but it offers all of the excellent business features that are synonymous with the ThinkPad brand, and does so with style. Despite its slim, lightweight profile, this is one sturdy ultraportable, making it an ideal travel notebook that can easily slide into a briefcase or large handbag."
Leaving Computer Shopper, May 2011
"...[the E420s] offers a sporty reinterpretation of the classic ThinkPad motif... end-to-end infinity glass, and rubberized chassis breathe new life into this tried-and-true aesthetic."

Press quotes
"The Lenovo ThinkPad T420–the bread and butter of the ThinkPad line–may look the same as the T410 it replaces, but important changes under the hood make this system even better."
Leaving Computer Shopper, October 2011
"The Lenovo ThinkPad T420s is amazing when you realize that its power, feature set, and battery yields are usually found in much heavier laptops..."
Leaving PCMag.com, August 2011
"The T420 is solidly constructed and offers racehorse performance. It's highly configurable with multiple warranty options, as befits a business laptop. Just about every IT person we know swears by the T series--for their clients and themselves."
Leaving PCWorld, August 2011
"With its epic battery life, awesome keyboard, solid sound, durable design, and high-res screen, the ThinkPad T420 offers nearly everything you'd want in a 14-inch business system for a good price."
Leaving Laptop Magazine, August 2011
"...the business user's ultimate Goldilocks notebook. At 14.1 inches and 4 pounds, the [T420s] is extremely light and portable, but it's large enough to provide a generous high-res screen, a powerful processor, and a full-sized keyboard and touchpad."
Leaving Laptop Magazine, June 2011
"...arguably the best business thin-and-light [laptop] money can buy...[the T420s is] a road-worthy platform that any business buyer will envy."
Leaving Computer Shopper, June 2011
"It's one of the few laptops on the market to have a 14in screen, which we think hits the sweet spot nicely between user comfort and portability...the T420 is a joy to use."

Press quotes
"...if you consider the built-in accelerometer to protect the hard drive and all the other fortification features, the Lenovo ThinkPad X130e effectively becomes one of the more affordable ruggedized laptops on the market..."
Leaving PC Magazine, February 2012
"The education-focused Lenovo ThinkPad X130e is built to take a beating from schoolchildren, offers a great keyboard, and lasts all day on a charge."
Leaving LAPTOP Magainze, January 2012
"The ThinkPad X120e proves that good things do come in small packages...an impressive piece of hardware. We love having a ThinkPad keyboard on such a small and well-built machine."
Leaving Notebooks.com, July 2011
"...[the X1] looks and feels great, is a joy to work on, boots fast, remains responsive even when multitasking, and has a really nice display."
Leaving PC World, May 2011
"...Every business notebook user is also a consumer. And consumers are going to enjoy working and playing on this ThinkPad [X1] more than any of it's predecessors."
Leaving GottaBeMobile, May 2011
"While all of Lenovo's ThinkPads have strong keyboards, the ThinkPad X1 features the best laptop keyboard we've ever tested."
Leaving Laptop Magazine, May 2011
"...[the X1] has the compact size and portability like a netbook, with the performance of a laptop."
Leaving Slash Gear, May 2011
"...we like the X1. A lot. It's as thin and durable as it is ergonomically sound, it performs briskly, and particularly thanks to those strong speakers, we can see people snapping this up even if their lives aren't scheduled around meetings and business trips."
Leaving Engadget, May 2011
"...sure to be a hit with ThinkPad fans--and most everyone else. [The X220] is fast and light, has a great 12.5-inch display, and continues the company's enviable tradition of superb input ergonomics, offering an innovative buttonless touchpad and a long-stroke keyboard."
Leaving PC World, April 2011
"...[the X220 is] arguably the best 12-inch business notebook currently on the market ... and we won't argue."
Leaving Notebook Review, March 2011
"This powerful, lightweight ultraportable is for true road warriors. The [X220's] top-notch speed and features demand a premium, but it's still today's best value for a serious business productivity machine."
Leaving Computer Shopper, March 2011
"...we have been blown away by what this 2nd Gen Core i5 powered ultraportable can do all while delivering up to 15 hours of real world battery life!"
Leaving GottabeMobile, March 2011
"...an amazing piece of engineering when you factor in all the features it squeezed into a 12-inch frame. It enlarged the keyboard and screen, while shedding some weight in the process. As a road-bound ultraportable, it had to be the most battery efficient in its class–and it was...the X220 is the fastest business ultraportable and in a league of its own."
Leaving PC Magazine, March 2011
"Lenovo is king of the keyboard, and the X120e has the best netbook keyboard ever--nothing else comes close."
Leaving PC World, March 2011
"The X120e is without a doubt an improvement over the X100e in terms of battery life, thermals, and performance, and considering we've always loved its classic looking chassis and amazingly comfortable keyboard, we're obviously pretty taken with the affordable little laptop."
Leaving Engadget, February 2011
"We were big fans of the ThinkPad X100e and had high hopes for the new ThinkPad X120e. In general, Lenovo delivered the goods."
Leaving Notebook Review, February 2011
"If you're looking for a lightweight business notebook at an affordable price, the ThinkPad X120e is a strong option..."
Leaving Laptop Magazine, February 2011
"...the X120e is arguably the best netbook for business."
Leaving PC Magazine, February 2011
"...[the ThinkPad X120e] is certainly among the least expensive compact notebooks you'll find, and with a full-size keyboard and decent graphics horsepower, it's much better than any [other] netbook."
