Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15
$729.00
Released April, 2010
The Pros:Affordable starting pricepoint for a ThinkPad. Available with both AMD and Intel processors. Same price or cheaper than it's smaller 13 and 14" brethren.
The Cons:Not as configurable as other laptops in the ThinkPad line. First ThinkPad with a glossy cover finish - horrible fingerprint magnet. No activity lights except for the basic red dot over the "ThinkPad" 'i' to signify that the device is on.
The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 is one of two Windows 7 laptops released in April 2010 as a step-up from the ThinkPad Edge 13. They include the same design, including a spill-resistant chiclet keyboard, but host more powerful specifications.

In particular, the Edge 15 takes a step further by building from the 14 by incorporating a larger 15.6” HD glossy display. It is otherwise a duplicate, as is evident by its Intel Core i3 processor, 2GB integrated RAM (4GB total), and 250GB integrated HDD (320GB total). It took is limited to Bluetooth wireless as an upgrade. Everything else—including a DVD drive, a 14” display, and WiFi—is there to stay permanently. Overall Edge isn’t recommended for graphics-intensive games or memory-intensive applications, but it does include enough for web browsing, Internet chatting/networking, word processing and, of course, watching videos.
