Netbook-like size & affordability with SMB-level performance & features;ThinkPad also proudly celebrates 18th year of Innovation and 60 millionth sold
Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) Lenovo ) today announced the new ThinkPad Edge 11 laptop, the smallest and lightest member of the ThinkPad Edge family. Created for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), the ThinkPad Edge 11 laptop packs ultraportable-like performance and features into a small form factor PC at an affordable price.
Incidentally, Lenovo celebrates 18 years of ThinkPad innovation and 60 million sales, this year and month respectively. The launch of the new ThinkPad Edge 11 thus carries on Lenovo’s proud tradition of exceptional engineering excellence in the ThinkPad line of products.
Kajonkiat Aramratsameekul, Country Manager, Home and Small-Medium Business unit, Lenovo Thailand said: “Thailand has a strong entrepreneurial tradition, and currently there are almost 3 million SMBs operating in the country. Just like large businesses, Lenovo believes small business customers want laptops that go the distance for performance without skimping on features that at the same time, fit their unique style and come at the right price. Many SMB users rely on their laptop for work and play, so features like fast processing, lots of connectivity options and even an HDMI connector for watching HD movies on a TV are essential.”
Light on Weight & Size, But a Heavyweight on Style & Features
At roughly the size of a paperback book, the 1.1-inch thin laptop weighs less than three pounds1, making it an ideal weight to carry in a bag or briefcase. The 11.6-inch screen gives users plenty of room to work on office documents, presentations, and even connect to a TV to watch a high definition movie through the HDMI video port. The full-size, contemporary style ThinkPad keyboard makes typing throughout the work day comfortable, and a spill-proof keyboard means less worry about accidental spills. What’s more, the standard low light sensitive web camera makes video conferences for business or staying in touch with family and friends simple. The ThinkPad Edge 11 laptop comes in three color choices: Midnight Black Glossy, Midnight Black Smooth and Heatwave Red.
Family Business
The newest member of the ThinkPad Edge family joins the 13, 14 and 15-inch models in bringing small business users big business solutions such as value-added Think Vantage Technologies like the Active Protection System and Rescue and Recovery. Along with a full suite of flexible service and support solutions for the ThinkPad Edge Series, Lenovo-branded services give customers and business partners a single source solution that help minimize risks, as well as increase protection and productivity, enabling small business users to focus on their business instead of their PC.
A Powerful Performer
The ThinkPad Edge 11 laptop offers the choice of Intel Core or AMD Vision Pro Athlon ultra low voltage processors, which provides a responsive computing experience for opening, closing and working with documents. With up to seven hours of battery life2, users will have peace of mind during vital presentations and connection to wireless hot spots is made easy through Wi-Fi. Alternatively, users can roam using optional 3G or 4G/ WiMAX3 with Qualcomm Gobi technology. Equipped with choices of business-class versions of the Windows 7 operating system, only Lenovo PCs come with Enhanced Experience for Windows 7, which enables them to start up significantly faster than identical configuration, non-optimized PCs. Extras like three USBs (one powered) and a 4-in-1 media card reader make connecting, charging and reading peripherals easy.
