Edge is a "move" adventure in the expansion of the Lenovo ThinkPad design younger.
Edge 13 is the new Lenovo ThinkPad life improvement and production. Inherit the reputation of laptops owned by individual entrepreneurs IBM, but ThinkPad Edge seems towards the user layer is a dynamic young people, often have to move. Machines are sold with three colors black shark, red and shiny black.
Model was tested with shiny black configuration information including processor Low voltage Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 speed of 1.3 GHz (3MB cache ), 2GB RAM, Intel mobile graphics chip GS45 Express, 250 GB hard drive.
The machine has been introduced on the surface of the plastic black not gray sticky fingerprints and creates the feeling for sure. Edges also ran away with silver edges and not angular like the ThinkPad tradition. Edge is decorated with the ThinkPad logo on both side both in the machine. In particular, periods of letters I will become light power.
ThinkPad edge size 33.2 x 22.8 x more 3 cm and weighs 1.7 kg with 6 cell battery comes so easily to bring people in remote trips.
Edge owns quite a lot of connection ports, including key Kenshington left side, VGA, HDMI, LAN, USB. Next to the power jack, two USB ports, headphone jack and memory card reader 5. However, unfortunately this model does not own port data exchange speed eSATA. Furthermore, no optical drive is integrated to reduce the weight and shape will cause quite so much inconvenience to users.
Meanwhile, before the next is not integrated port connection that swept down to make room for claws speaker system below. Due to the small size calculated to prioritize "mobile" and handy should only be heard in the room size is not large, less than 20 m2. However, the sound quality of speakers is also pretty good, free play in the bass and clear though a bit small and does not sound speaker stereo.
Different than the ThinkPad tradition, Edge keyboard is integrated with the design chiclet curved claws make a distinction. But design has made the difficult new users get familiar with the machine. When operations on the keyboard feel was "embarrassed" and press your hands are not standard. However, the sensitivity good. Some differences in the keyboard is again Lenovo has strongly changed the system function buttons F1, F2, F3 .... the secondary button (ie to use this key while the user must press the Fn key function in the bottom left corner of the keyboard).
In addition, computer keyboard and mouse own multi touch point. Through testing, the sensitivity of the touchpad is very good, not sticky fingerprints, photo manipulation claws to zoom accurate only regrettable that only a two button mouse is a bit deeper a little cushion when in use.
ThinkPad Edge with the screen size 13.3 inch mirror with resolution 1366 x 768 pixel color display is bright and sharp. When testing high-resolution video is HD and Full HD monitor can be seen from the angle of tilt, even 90 degrees. This may be considered if the machine's advantages compared to other laptops monitor mirror often narrow perspective. However, when used in the office with the neon light displays are still quite uncomfortable shadow, the user only way to overcome is to increase the screen brightness to maximum to fight glare.
The new Lenovo model also provides management tools ThinkVantage Tools machine with many useful features such as password management, update management hardware (driver), battery management, performance machine (integrated into the taskbar Help displays the time using the Left or time to fully charge the battery when plugged the power cord), data backup and restore, manage and combat the sock machine.
ThinkPad Edge - performance, battery
Edge has two options for the processor is AMD or Intel. Immediate model sold in Vietnam will equip Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 speed of 1.3 GHz, 2GB RAM, chip mobile Intel GS45 Express graphics and 250 GB hard drive.
With the hardware configuration as the machine gained 3.4 points in the point system on the Windows Experience Index Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) (installed with the machine). This is not the high point and understandable by machines do not use discrete graphics, but smooth enough to run Aero graphical interface Peak with all the highest settings.

When using the grading program to test the strength 3DMark06 graphics, Edge reached 768 points less than a bit compared to an average of 13 inch line machine not integrated graphics card is 857 points (average data from the page Laptopmag). Meanwhile, if the grading system in the entire program PCMark Vantage, model of the Lenovo 2756 achieved overall equivalent to an average of 2764 points.
In the experiment play a game requires average graphics as PES2010, machine achieved an average speed of 26 frames per second with the medium setting, resolution 1280 x 720 pixels. World of Warcraft game time with resolution 1024 x 768 pixels, machine reached an average speed of 29 frames per second, but the resolution to increase the maximum supported screen is 1366 x 768 pixel, edge only "explore" the game at a speed 5 frames per second.
Although no discrete graphics, but only integrated graphics chip Intel GS45 Express but Edge still run smoother HD video standard and Full HD 1080p. Test rewind at different times, machine operation quickly and without major delay.
Experiment with format video conversion, resulting in the well above average and acceptable. When you convert a video file formats to MP4 AVI 114 MB storage, edge 13 to under 11 minutes. If you use Oxelon Media Converter to convert the format (more efficient applications for multiple CPU cores) machine achieved impressive results, just over a minute.
Radiator fan system is located at the edge of the left side, this is also the hottest part of the machine. The half left hand when using a short time to heat up quite clearly, this is definitely affected who often have to move and have a habit of setting up the thigh machine to work. However, to hand over the keyboard and the left half of the radiator quite good.

With 6 cell battery included, for the duration Edge ThinkPad battery life is quite impressive. If placed at the highest settings (High Performance) and run the program normally, such as listening to music, surf the computer used for more than 4 hours continuously. If the average for the Edge can operate in about 5 hours and 30 minutes.
ThinkPad Edge 13 is a mobile machine with impressive battery life and compact design even capable of handling graphics are not really strong. Model red, glossy black highlights and more relevant to modern youth and dynamism. While black-gray model to correct "liking" than with other successful business people. Despite bringing in its ThinkPad brand is quite sensitive and can not walk through the shadow is too large to be laptops for business people consider them famous, but overall the machine and the price is a worthwhile model property
