Lenovo's ThinkPad Edge 13" is a 13.3in business laptop that looks unlike most ThinkPad notebooks. It has a glossy screen, raised and rounded keys and a two-tone colour scheme, and it doesn't have some of the traditional features we expect on a ThinkPad (such as a screen-mounted keyboard light). There is good reason for this — it's designed to be an inexpensive, yet very portable machine with good performance and battery life. For the most part, it succeeds in meeting these goals.The ThinkPad...
