The ThinkPad Edge E420 14" Notebook Computer (Midnight Black) from Lenovo takes the no-nonsense, business-oriented side of Lenovo ThinkPad notebooks and adds a touch of personality for customer-facing roles in small- to medium-sized businesses. The result is a slimmed down 14-inch notebook computer that weighs just 4.6 pounds. This Lenovo notebook is also wrapped in a refined, soft matte coating, reinforced with sturdy metal hinges and a sleek Midnight Black finish.
The 14" widescreen display features LED lamps, which brighten faster, use less power and provide better image quality than their CCFL counterparts. The screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is also the standard for HDTVs. The 1366 x 768 native resolution is supported by integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics. The anti-glare coating allows you to use this Lenovo notebook in bright rooms or outdoors in the sunlight.
The system is powered by a dual-core 2.3GHz Intel Core i3-2350M processor. It also has 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive, a SuperMulti DVD burner, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, an integrated 2.0-megapixel HD webcam and microphone as well as built-in stereo speakers. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) is the installed operating system.
