Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E425, E425 and ThinkVision LT1421 Wide unveiled

Lenovo announced today the ThinkPad Edge 14-inch E425 and 15.6-inch E525 laptops for small-to-medium businesses (SMB) and the ThinkVision LT1421 Wide, the company’s first mobile monitor that gives mobile professionals a second screen for on-the-go use to display spreadsheets and make presentations. The ThinkPad Edge laptops simplify the overall computing experience for SMBs, starting with a slimmer, more polished design complemented by powerful, reliable technology with choices of the latest AMD processors along with voice and video features for an unparalleled user experience.

The new ThinkPad Edge laptops project a smart, polished image with new soft finishes available in color choices of heatwave red or midnight black with either an anti-glare or glossy display. Nearly 13 percent slimmer than previous versions, the laptops can easily fit in a briefcase alongside the ThinkVision LT1421 Wide monitor. The spill-resistant, island-style keyboard provides not only hours of comfortable typing but also contributes to the laptops’ clean, modern design.

The new laptops are filled with a host of high performance technologies including:

AMD A-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) with VISION Pro Technology for efficient multitasking and mainstream application acceleration, stunning visual performance for today’s Internet-focused and graphics-intensive business applications, extended battery life and cool operating temperatures for comfort on the go
Integrated AMD Radeon discrete-class graphics with dedicated video memory delivering eye-popping HD performance and blazing-fast parallel processing capabilities.
Generous storage up to 750 GB and up to 8 GB of memory
Multimedia and expansion options with DVD burner, powered USB port, 4-1 media card reader and support for HDMI
Optional fingerprint reader for convenient and secure log-in

With the ThinkPad Edge laptops, users can get to work more quickly with 20 percent faster boot up1, thanks to Lenovo’s Enhanced Experience 2.0 optimization for Windows 7 PCs over non-optimized PCs.

The ThinkPad Edge E425 and E525 laptops and ThinkVision LT1421 Wide monitor will be available starting in August. Pricing for both models of the laptops starts at approximately $549 and the monitor is priced at $219.99.
