There is no doubting that the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11 is an attractive machine both in terms of looks and price. It is light and portable and its battery life is conducive to working outside the office. However, the reflective nature of the screen may prove a challenge for some people and the somewhat cramped keyboard might make it difficult for larger hands to work comfortably. You will need to go to the top of the range to get the better processor and RAM configuration, and even then you will need to be able to survive without an optical drive-or factor an external one into the budget. There is no fingerprint reader and this, in the end, could be the deal breaker for many corporate users.
