The Japanese company put up for sale a new ultra of 13.3 inches that advertises as ‘the lighter of the market.’ Focusing on professional market account with a chassis of magnesium, keyboard resistant to splashes, sensor falls and new cooling system that maximizes its useful life.

In addition, incorporates Intel hardware Empress and three years of international warranty. Put up for sale prices of 1,000 to 1,600 dollars and is coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the first portable of the mark.

Toshiba put up for sale onits web portal international the Portégé R700, an ultra light, powerful and suppose with the quality customary for the manufacturer used in this series for the segment professional.
The equipment base includes:

* Integrated Graphics Intel (64 to 1,696 Mbytes of shared memory)
* 4 Extra Gbytes RAM DDR3.
* Optical drive DVD.
* Webcam and microphone.
* LAN Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
* Ports combo eSATA-USB and HDMI.
* Reader of memory cards.
* Battery of six cells for 8.5 hours of autonomy.
* ExpressCard slot for module of broadband 3G, WiMAX or other expansions.

According to the microprocessor and storage capacity included the R700 is offered in three models so-called:

- Portégé R700-S1310 with microprocessor Core i3-350M and hard drive of 500 Extra Gbytes (5,400 rpm) by 999 dollars.

- Portégé R700-S1320 with microprocessor Core i5-520M and hard drive of 320 Extra Gbytes (7,200 rpm) for 1,299 dollars.

- Portégé R700-S1330 with microprocessor Core i7-620M and unity of solid-state 128 Extra Gbytes by $1,599.

In the event of Toshiba we have been able to prove both the model with i5 as with i7. Both have shown rapid, with power to play video in high-definition and other editing complex. The weight is ideal to handle even gripping by hand. We have also noticed the effectiveness of the cooling system and the low noise in operation (perhaps with the exception of when accessed to the DVD drive).

All models include three years of international guarantee, Windows 7 pre-installed and breadth of software of Toshiba. Have standards certification of energy management and use of materials free of toxic products in the manufacture, keyboard resistant to splashes, module TPM, recognition of faces, sensor of falls for protection of data on disk or new cooling system that as we mentioned is very effective.

Missing perhaps a system of backlighting for the keys, it would have become a full 4X4. On the other hand nothing to say in paragraph of the connectivity or autonomy. Without the ability to make evidence to fund, a R700 fully loaded playing the high-definition video evidence of Windows 7 marked a autonomy of almost six hours with the battery of six cells.

The R700 is listed on the web portal of Toshiba at those prices. In Spain prices Iran from 800 to 1,400 euros approximately and could be available from July. If you need a team robust and powerful, at the time that slight and highly portable, the new ultra of Toshiba will be an option to consider. There will also be version of consumption of R700 under the name of Satellite R630 with characteristics similar to the professional model.

Submit our company to a new customer, submit our ideas to our fellow workers, presenting the results of last year… submit, present, present. This is the word used by men and women of business around the world.

For this reason, the BlackBerry Presenter has been one of the surprises more pleasant in recent months. In the tail, allows us to carry our Powerpoint in your pocket and let the laptop at home. We analyze exclusively.

What is dying the laptop in the field of mobility? How come a time when sufficient to have a smartphone or a tablet to meet all the needs of professional user?

The new Presenter fits in the palm of one hand and connected to our BlackBerry, allows you to connect our smartphone favorite with any projector or television market, allowing in this way, lead us all our presentations without having to lead with the inconvenience (or the weight of a laptop.

Presenter not only is so small (8.6 cm x 6.1 cm) that can be easily in any pocket of our jacket, but also is nicely. His metallic body and stylized recalls at first sight the successful unibody design of the MacBook Pro of Apple. At the top, the logo of BlackBerry on a black background glossy, gives this gadget a patina of elegance of the most devices designed by Research In Motion.

The rear is reserved for the conectitividad device, and this is where we found three ports: VGA, S-Video and a micro USB. It also includes a small switch with which we can change of NTSC to PAL depending on the region in which we find ourselves. In this paragraph miss some options more advanced, such as connection HDMI (or at least DVI) or even a simple audio output, element present in many presentations.

Presentations in the palm

If we have decided to acquire this device, the first thing we have to do is ourselves with the proper application for power use. The application, which also called BlackBerry Presenter, can be downloaded free from the BlackBerry App World. Once installed, we can only connect our smartphone via the port micro USB Presenter on one hand, and the TV or projector at the exit (VGA/S-Video) on the other.

To start the application, Presenter was responsible for “pairing” both devices, in a very similar to what would be a Bluetooth connection music, because we introduce a four-digit code to ensure the connection. Once introduced the code Presenter adjusted the resolution of automatically on the basis of the device detected.

This is one of the characteristics that we have liked, since it does not lack remind the problems and “headaches” that we usually suffer” each time we are trying connect a laptop to a projector until you configure correctly. After setting the resolution, the only thing that we have to do is click on Present, time to grant a menu that contain the presentations stored in our terminal and in a few seconds… Now we can begin to talk!

Performance of Presenter

The performance of Presenter is to our regret, somewhat irregular. In fact if we chose to make our presentations with this device, our recommendation is preparing to consciousness a few minutes before. The reason is that Presenter is not capable of “read” directly the presentations that are stored in our smartphone, but it needs to make a copy of the chosen and store it in your cache.

This process can take up to one minute for every two megas data, so if our presentation is extensive we better have a good introduction prepared.

If you still chose to not wait, we must take into account that the transition between slides may be delayed until the seven seconds. Fortunately, if we have been able to prepare our presentation with some time before we immediate transitions in the same way that would with our computer.

At the time to present

All “problems” that we have suffered before disappear at the time to present. Once charged by altogether, we can disconnecting the cable micro USB and, paired in Pdas move freely around the room as if we have in our hands a remote (our BlackBerry).

Unlike a remote control conventional, in our BlackBerry not only will the controls of the slideshow, but we can access a preview of the slides, associated notes for the same (which may or may not, shown on screen) and even we can dial the number of the slide that concerns us to make jumps rapid without having to go through all of the above.

Conclusions

What It is worth opt for BlackBerry Presenter? Taking into account for 149 euros, we must recognize that it is like to think. On the one hand, it is a device really small that eliminates the need to bring us a netbook or a laptop, but that, unlike a picoproyector not eliminates the need for a source of lighting (television, projector, etc).

We have been very much liked the way in which we can control the whole process of the presentation, far beyond the classics controls designed to PowerPoint, but the fact that we have to wait that long for it to charge the same in memory it has seemed somewhat disappointing. On the other hand, we believe that it had not done any harm include a connection HDMI or DVI and the fact that does not have audio output remains some presence to one of our documents.

However, if us users that we are always in motion and we had a large number of presentations throughout the month, it is true that can be a device that is rentabiliza soon, because we do not have to bear all the weight of a computer, battery, cables, etc. In short, this is a good device, but with a broad scope for improvement. Let us hope that the boys from RIM show us a good second version.

“Accelerate the Virtual Era”, held in the “Mercedes-Benz World” in London, has been for Dell one of the most important events of the year, as it has been where the company has sought to demonstrate to the world its enormous potential to lead the segment of the servers and data centers.

Those responsible for Dell are convinced that the Internet era (framed in the large data centers business) is next to an end, and that a new world of virtualisation is being opening the way in the departments IT of large and small businesses. To that end, however, is a need for suitable tools,because the companies demand “solutions geared toward efficiency, profitability entrepreneurship and innovation”.

How to get this? Moving toward a new paradigm, in which of course, manufacturers have much to say, but in that, above all, it is necessary to address the real needs of customers, which is not always need a whole portfolio of products imposed by the major of the sector. In this sense, as explained during the presentation the vice president of Dell Storage Darren Thomas, “until now the companies have offered only technology closed and the owner, in which customers have not had a real choice, involvement in addition in price and service”.

In theory, Dell wants to change all this, by what is going to focus its future strategy of products and services related to the storage in firms in the following areas:

1. Technology open: in the sense from Dell are willing to give support to competing products that can be integrated into the strategy IT from customers (Cisco, Brocade, etc. )

2. Choice

3. A measure of the companies.

4. Without commitments.

Taking in cuesta these axioms, the presentation of London has served as an excuse to publicize in society its new range of products and services, in which combine new platforms of storage and infrastructure “smart” that are increasingly becoming more important, whenever the virtualization of servers is no longer a future, but a reality that can be felt.

In this sense, and the hand of Forrest Norrod have presented the new storage products Dell EqualLogic, solutions to networking PowerConnect, and the blade servers PowerEdge. In addition, to help customers to deploy more rapidly their solutions virtualization in the center of data, Dell has submitted configurations Business-ready.

These settings help clients to reduce complexity, as well as the trials and errors relating to the deployments of the projects of virtualization, so that the company also announced that it would deepen its relationship with companies in the sector as WMware or Citrix, and in the words of Darren Thomas “the integration of EqualLogic with VMware is running really well, providing operations much faster and more dramatically reducing the burden in the CPU and the Network. As a result of all this energy efficiency is much greater”.

Platforms of storage Dell EqualLogic and Dell PowerVault

1. The new booths storage EqualLogic PS6000XVS and PS6010XVS combine the advantages of the disks SAS and SSD in a single chassis to improve the density and performance. As a result of the experience of Dell in the technologies of load-balancing and movement of data, customers to deploy the firmware EqualLogic 5.0 can benefit from storage automated levels in the storage systems.

2. New developments in the architecture of the software Dell EqualLogic improve performance and the scalability of the booths of storage EqualLogic, without additional cost, both for the new as for the former customers with teams EqualLogic.

3. With the introduction of firmware EqualLogic 5.0, the infrastructures VMware can reduce much of network traffic SAN and in the use of the CPU to the processes of copy up to 95 percent and the use of the CPU to the processes of copy on the 75 per cent. The firmware EqualLogic 5.0 is prepared to bear new developments of the initiative VMware vStorage.

4. The new booths of storage PowerVault MD3200 and MD3200i are perfect for those seeking a platform for high-performance at an affordable price. The number of booths storage MD3200 offers up to two times more performance, connectivity of servers and capacity of scalability than the previous generation of products.

Dell PowerEdge Servers

Dell has introduced two new blades PowerEdge and a server rack designed to help customers to improve the performance, flexibility and energy efficiency.

1. The server blade PowerEdge M710HD has been designed and optimized for loads of virtual working and it offers users flexibility I/O, high-density and an Intel Xeon. It is one of the only blade servers of the market for high-density that supports hipervisores redundant failsafe and options of disks connectable in hot SAS or SSD to help customers to ensure that work loads of customers to remain in operation.

2. The PowerEdge M610x is added to the portfolio of blades of Dell, offering clients more rapidly in the databases, graphics capabilities improved thanks to the integration of solutions PCIe more powerful as the new Tesla “Fermi” class GPGPUs or Fusion-IO’S ioDrive Duo of NVIDIA.

Solutions of Networking Dell PowerConnect

Finally, Dell has presented the products PowerConnect Series-J, the first since the agreement OEM between Dell and Juniper, in addition to other products networking.

1. The family of products PowerConnect Series-J EX8200 offers a new solution of chassis scalable for switching and routing of high-performance data centers and environments cloud.

2. For data centers small, the family of switches EX4200 PowerConnect Series- J improves the Chassis technology Virtual to help customers to manage up to 10 switches EX4200 in one device.

3. The family of products SRX PowerConnect Series-J Service Gateway covers a broad range of security needs both of the content, the access control, of the firewalls and the technologies VPN.

4. Thanks to the agreement OEM between Dell and Brocade, the Series-B PowerConnect RX-16 wide the current family of switches Dell PowerConnect B-RX with a chassis modular 16-slots, which offers performance and scalability for networks more demanding with needs 10GbE.

5. The Ethernet switch Dell PowerConnect 8024 offers 24 ports 10GBASE-T, routing of level 3 for the data center, grouping and deployments in architecture unified.

Hp Envy 13 : Much Noise?

HP defines the series Envy and portable premium, rivaling so clear with the MacBook Pro of Apple, and the positioned in the high range of its comprehensive catalog of solutions . We look at the new HP Envy 13 in the laboratory.

The HP Envy is a machine different jumps to the view from the first time: a luxurious packaging protects the equipment and accessories including: charger, soft and battery. As detail, all documentation, manuals and the guide to home are included in the SD card that accompanies the computer. Although our version of evidence came only with the standard battery, the kit that can buy in stores also incorporates a secondary 6 cells (coupled to the base) and the adapter HDMI to VGA.

The new HP Envy 13 presents a quality of construction sublime, with a chassis done in aluminum and with parties reinforced of magnesium, lightweight and shock resistant and scratches. The photos do not do justice to the final aspect of the team (it is worth seeing live) that, we repeat, is impressive and competes perfectly with better proposals of Apple or Sony that have gone through our technical laboratory.

Among the details worth mentioning the hinge system -outstanding-, the trackpad touch rubbery, care closing mechanism and the area perforated magnesium where 1871 dolls to write.

The computer we analyze account with a display of 13 inches with LED backlight. The panel offers a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 (there are versions up 1,600 x 900 pixels), wide angle of vision and a level of maximum brightness spectacular – above the average teams of its category – that enables the team for outdoor use. The high density of dots per inch makes the images and especially the texts are crisp and lively (the contrast real panel is 555:1).

Perfectly disguised in the top frame HP has installed a webcam of 1.3 megapixels of excellent quality. It also incorporates a night mode (NightVision) that uses an infrared light, enabling you to make videoconferencing in terms of lighting complicated.

The HP Envy 13 incorporates a keyboard that reasonable size, very comfortable, with separate keys. The tact is very precise and offer the return fair. As usual the brightness, volume and shortcuts are available with simple combinations of keys. In the bottom we will see a trackpad of touch with rubbery functions multitáctiles zoom, rotate and scroll.

Reviewing the edges of the team draws attention to HP has decided to dispense the optical unit(although we can always connect an external in case of need) and limit the number of available ports to two USB 2.0, a HDMI and the departure of standard headphones. Particularly delicate seems to us the absence of Ethernet connector, which limits the Internet access to networks WiFi and 3G (with an external modem) or to acquire a USB adapter.

The team we tested integrates a Intel Core 2 Duo SL9600, 3 Extra Gbytes RAM DDR3y a hard drive of 250 Extra Gbytes, some components that are not consistent with the final price of equipoaunque offer sufficient returns to move smoothly the operating system and applications more usual.

For graphics HP has opted for a hybrid solution: an Intel GMA X4500M integrated in plaque and a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 with 512 Mbytes of memory. The change was made automatically as plug power adapter to the team but also can be controlled manually from the menu screen of Windows.

We reviewed the team with our battery of tests which verifies the overall performance and specifically for demanding applications in calculating 3D. The results are expected; the proposal to HP offers the power required to use office equipment, Internet and run some game is not too demanding but it is below of similar proposals in price who opt for processors faster and have more RAM available.

With the battery supplied 4 cells get a degree of autonomy close to 4 hours of use real (average brightness, connectivity WiFi activated). The pack commercial also includes a battery secondary ultra of six cells that is installed on the basis of the notebook, broadening the autonomy until 10 hours of use.

The good work of the engineers of HP comes to the fore when submitting the team to evidence complex; the temperature remains below the 27th in the housing and only when the CPU exceeds the 58th (only we succeed with test specific) is set in motion the fan, efficient and silent.

Conclusions

The HP Envy 13 is a great laptop computer, but their high price is not justified in response to its specifications. It is understandable that the use of high quality materials, the careful design and quality of finishes have an impact in the final cost, but 1,500 euros (until recently their official price was 1,899 euros) limit its target audience.

Among the points upgradeable to a team of this level are inexplicable lack of a backlit keyboard (highly appreciated by the public vocational), a connectivity low (a modem 3G integrated would have been a good idea) and little storage capacity. Details such as the Home version of Windows instead of the professional, the lack of a fingerprint reader or the need to use a modifier to enable the function keys not taste to the segment more professional, precisely its target of the market.

In any case, we must recognize that we like the new turn toward quality that has given HP with its new series Envy. If you can get moderate prices and will become one of the best alternatives to the proposals of Apple for the world PC, attracting the user who wants to spend more on products they offer added value compared to proposals more economical.

Apple has presented the fourth generation of its mobile phone and although the vast majority of the surprises are watered some weeks ago, we are facing the terminal more ambitious of the company.

In fact, the presentation of the new model will be joins the announcement of iOS 4 (before iPhone OS 4), the new version that provides multitasking and that takes all the resources of a terminal with a screen particularly noteworthy and with the same processor that the iPad, the Apple A4.

There are many news – although some already knew after the scandal of the prototype “misplaced” by Apple and that Gizmodo published all that was a terminal that want to return to revolutionize this market in which it seems that Android is the clear competitor in both hardware and software.

The design

The materials and design of the new iPhone 4 already knew from the disappearance of the prototype, but Apple has wanted affect the quality of the construction of new smartphone of its factory, which makes use of glass especially resistant and a deck of stainless steel to protect the sides.

Why choose that metal? Because it plays a dual role: all the side not only protects of blows to the smarpthone and makes compact and resilient, but in reality that whole chassis is no more than an antenna that extends the signal wireless connection to have the highest possible quality in conversations and data transfer.

The size is clearly lower than its predecessors, and indeed is a 34 percent more slim that the iPhone 23, although it is slightly more heavy, with 3 grams more weight. According to Apple, is the mobile thinner at the moment.

The hardware

As expected, the iPhone 4 arrive ruled by the Apple A4, the chip that already triumphs in the iPad and that has proved its worth in this tablet of Apple. The chip is also coupled with a processor PowerVR SGX 535 that is the one that is responsible for providing the iPhone 4 of their new and lavish graphics. These two components are integrated in the same chip, next to two modules SDRAM memory of 128 Mbytes of low consumption.

According Jobs, the new iPhone 4 benefits from a greater autonomy: integration of A4 and the use of a slot microSIM instead of a SIM have something left for additional space for a battery of Lithium Ion quepermite arrive at 7 hours of conversation, 6 hours of navigation in 3G networks, 10 hours of navigation in Wi-Fi, 10 hours of video, 40 of music or a standby time of 300 hours. And that surprised by a paragraph in particular: your screen.

The screen

If there is an element that highlight especially in the iPhone over their competitors is the screen, with an impressive resolution of 960×640 pixels that fit in just 3.5 inches diagonal thanks to a density of píxe equally exceptional: 326 pixels per inch. Apple has called for the technology behind this achievement “Retina Display”, and the fact is that the results appear spectacular.

That makes all the elements on the screen appear with a definition and a quality that no smartphone current can match and will contribute to the reading of electronic books or to the Web browsing.

The texts are shown clear and precise on the screen with technology IPS and with a contrast of 800 to 1, four times better than that of the iPhone 23 and that it poses the most important step of Apple in this field for years.

The cameras

The new iPhone 4 provides not only of a camera in the rear, but it also has added a small camera for videoconferencing in the front and that offers VGA resolution. The posterior chamber has improved in all its paragraphs except in the resolution of the sensor, which remains of 5 Megapixels. However, the new model has a sensor of greater size that captures more light and that offers more quality in terms of low light.

It is also able to record video in high definition 720p and that, combined with the presentation of iMovie to the iPhone -one of the small surprises of the keynote- converted to this mobile to a small study of digital video recording.

Other improvements

The paragraph of the games for the iPhone will be greatly benefited from the presence of a gyroscope that allow the registration movement with greater precision and in the three axles, something that combined with the accelerometer will give us a movement in six priorities to be a very powerful to control all kinds of video games for the iPhone.

In addition to the microphone at the bottom the iPhone 4 consists of a second microphone located at the top and that lets you the cancellation of noise to enjoy some discussions with greater clarity and audio quality.

The software : iOS 4

The presentation of the fourth version of the operating system of iPhone -which is now known as iOS 4 to dry- was another major players in the event, and with this version of this development Apple provides for order solutions to various demands of users.

The first, the presence of multitasking, which also thanks to the use of A4 allows the consumption of terminal is not particularly affected. Will Be at the end possible have several applications open in the iPhone with efficient management of resources.

Jobs has not given many details on this operating system – although there was mention of some entrepreneurial characteristics, such as a better support from Exchange- and has highlighted the fact that the book store electronic ibooks also will be available in the iPhone 4 as a free download from the App Store.

The advertising platform for mobile Apple, called dai, also had a mention in this chat opening of the WWDC, and Jobs explained how the platform offers interesting possibilities to developers and advertisers. Apple is optimistic that the reception and future success of this platform, with the who want packing the mobile market.

In last place appeared the possibility of videoconferencing with the iPhone 4, a logical choice after having submitted the front chamber. Videoconferencing will be possible via Wi-Fi only -at least during 2010- and allow users to enjoy a version “pocket-size” of iChat in their iPhone 4.

Price and availability

The iPhone 4, in black or white, will be available in the US to the recommended price of $199 model 16 Extra Gbytes and 299 dollars the model of 32 Extra Gbytes shops on-line and retail of Apple and AT&T, and in shops in Best Buy and Wal-Mart. The iPhone 4 is available in the US, France, Germany, Japan and the

United Kingdom on June 24, and customers in these countries can from Tuesday June 15 ordering advance of its iPhone 4 in the Apple Online Store or can book its iPhone 4 to pick in a Apple Retail Store. The app iMovie to iPhone is available in the App Store by 4.99 dollars in the US.

In addition, the June 24 will be available a new model iPhone 23 8 Extra Gbytes in US by 99 dollars. The softwareiOS 4 is available on June 21 for free download via iTunes 9.2 or later version, for customers of iPhone and iPod touch (iOS 4 is compatible with iPhone 3G iPhone, 23, iPhone 4 and with the second and third-generation iPod touch. Some characteristics may not be available in all the products. For example, the multitasking requires a iPhone 23, iPhone 4 or iPod touch of third-generation).

Iphone 4 will be in 88 countries around the world at the end of September. The iPhone 4 is available at the end of July in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, South Korea, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland.

Lenovo presents a new notebook oriented to the corporate market, the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge, 15. Presents a design sober and classic, display of 15 inches, a processor last generation Intel and a price really competitive.

Positioned on the range of entry for corporate scenario, the proposal of Lenovo will focus on professionals, small and medium-sized enterprises which take precedence productivity and cost content on other factors.

The new team of Lenovo is presented in a single box with the logo of the company and accompanied by the battery, a charger, manuals, documentation and a quick guide to solve the most common problems and learn the basic functions of the team.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 presents a solid construction but the excessive use of plastic and , especially,an aesthetic that leaves much to be desired do not provide a first impression satisfactory. A closer examination reveals interesting details, such as a hinge system well executed,proper distribution of ports or a chassis really robust, perfect for users travellers who need a co-worker reliable and resistant.

In the right side of the equipment have been installed two USB 2.0 ports, a rewritable DVD, a slot for security and the taking of power. In the opposite find a eSATA, HDMI, Ethernet, VGA video output, a jack of audio of 3.5 mm and a reader of memory cards. In the rear we will see another USB port and the air output of the cooling system of the team.

The latest proposal of Lenovo account with a panel of 15-inch backlit LED. Offers a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels and matte finish, which offers greater color fidelity and less reflexes in exchange for losing liveliness and depth in the colors. In general terms, the quality offered by the panel is on the line that the other teams that we have analyzed within this range of prices.

The computer keyboard element is more recalls to the legendary saga ThinkPad IBM: touch hard, a button to the cursor integrated (pointing click) and precise answer, very taste of users accustomed to the keyboards classics of desktop computers. The trackpad integrated is comprehensive and incorporates functions multitouch to make zoom, scroll and drawings. The best of the team.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 we have received in the laboratory works with an Intel Core i3-330 to 2.13 GHz with subsystem figure integrated, supported by 2 Extra Gbytes RAM. The storage is instructs a hard disk drive SATA 250 Extra Gbytes. The mark offers a variety of settings and the possibility of extending the machine according to the needs of the customer, reaching Intel processors Core i5 and up to 4 Extra Gbytes RAM.

With this equipment the team can move with total fluidity Windows 7 and any application office automation. On the other hand, the integrated graphics pales when we demand computing power 3D, but behaves with solvency handling multimedia content, including video in high-definition.

Tested the equipment with the configuration of series, obtaining 4,933 points with the suite of evidence of performance PCMark 05 and 1,599 with 3DMark 06, a test specifically for performance 3D. As A reference, in the proof of experience with Windows 7 the team gets a 4.0. The figures confirm our initial impressions: the computer shows a behavior rather than correct to use office equipment, web browsing or enjoy multimedia content, but it is not the best choice to run software demanding.

The autonomy is one of the most important aspects to the time to assess a laptop, even more if we talk about machines intended to professional environment. Lenovo includes with the computer a 6-cell battery, sufficient to more than three and a half hours of actual use in normal conditions (average brightness, WiFi activated). The great work of Intel with their new processors and the popularization of panels with LED backlight (among other factors) is evident. Worth mentioning the quiet operation of the team, even turning evidence of great demand. The fan is efficient and little noisy, and not detected problems of temperature.

Consider the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 is a laptop economic, perfect for the user looking for a reliable machine to work and, occasionally, reproduce multimedia content or run some videogame little demanding.

A design improvement (especially from the point of view of quality of materials and aesthetic) can undermine a construction very solid and specifications balanced that offer the expected return. In any case, not ceases to be a product interesting that can meet the needs of its target audience.
