We have competition in technological devices tightened, with its low-cost laptops in from china to the international market. The holders of famous brands such as Lenovo, HP began to make changes in the business world, especially in hardware sales.

Perhaps in our minds when she heard the word before the ThinkPad is black laptop, be strong and loyal friend of the office. But some believe that the price of Lenovo laptops that have been branded solid – and a bit stiff – it is still considered expensive.

As if to dismiss it, Lenovo now issued a new design for the ThinkPad family, the price is more ‘friendly’. Besides low cost, Edge ThinkPad design now seem a little funky, with a thinness that even almost the same as a MacBook Pro. The difference was only about 2-3 mm.

Well, one of the most interesting of these is the Edge ThinkPad keyboard that seemed more orderly when compared to the classic ThinkPad series. There is no shortcut keys separate from the keyboard (except power).

For the protection of prime, Lenovo has features anti-spill keyboard and ThinkVantage technologies, like Active Protection System and the Rescue and Recovery. As a result brand strong and sturdy laptop still stuck in the body of this Edge ThinkPad.

One thing that’s unfortunate. Why not have a ThinkPad Edge shortcut key ‘Think Vantage’ separately from the keyboard? For Windows users, this may not be a problem, because the bundling of Windows 7 have the tools.

But for Linux users, maybe this is a bit inconvenient, unlike the previous classic ThinkPad series. The reason is classic ThinkPad Linux allows users to recovery with the key, though without tools. Lenovo seems a little ‘forcing’ users to sample the Windows 7.

ThinkPad Edge is a smart laptop that’s a breeze to use.
