Cheap Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 0579A62 14" LED Notebook - Intel - Core i3

Customer Ratings:

This is a great laptop for the price. Sure the specifications aren't amazing but you can't expect too much for just under $400. I work in the IT field for a living, so I'm pretty demanding when it comes to computers. I had a work issued Thinkpad T410 with a core i5, and sure this isn't as nice of a computer but its also a third of the price. Not nearly as fast as my 8-core desktop, but not unbearably slow either.

Pros: Battery life (up to 3-4 hours), size, and price.

Cons: Core i3 rather than core i5 processor, only 2GB ram, and low resolution display. Occasional issue with battery not charging, have to turn off the computer, remove battery, and reinsert to charge sometimes.

Upgraded to 4GB of RAM immediately after purchasing because 2GB is barely enough to run Windows 7. Only took about 5 minutes, and cost $12.

Overall I'm happy and satisfied with the laptop!

Sophisticated Lenovo doorstop. Bought this laptop for university, it started Sluggish (I thought is was because of first boot). Once I loaded all the windows 7 updates and office 12 (2007) it goes teeth grinding slow even after upgrading to 8GB memory, i3 processor suck Do I hear and overpriced netbook with a DVD player/burner. Imagine other things for school like ebooks and additional software. I gave it to my God-daughter for high school and even she was complaining how slow it is. She now use it like a net-book after removing most if not all the software from it. Lenovo you disappoint in a major way. Save your money and buy a higher model if you like the brand. And the prices remains the same...isn't that a bummer

I received the laptop at the right time in perfect conditions.

Sadly I had to format the HDD cause the Think Pad Edge failed at the next day.

I am coming from using a high end Dell M6400 that I bought for work several years ago. My work involves some photo editing, a fair bit of multi-tasking across programs, and a lot of word processing. I love how light the Thinkpad is, I love how long the battery lasts and I love that I can leave the expensive M6400 at home, where it will hopefully enjoy a longer lifespan.

Despite these virtues, the new company supplied 0579a62 has me grinding my teeth. I feel like I'm working on the 486 I used back in college. Windows 7's background processes consume 70% of the computer's 2GB of RAM. It is hard to imagine anyone being satisfied with the performance of this laptop. The Windows 7 experience meter ranks this machine at 3.6 out of 7.9.

I've looked around Lenovo's site for information on upgrading memory, but the site seems to lack the resources I'm accustomed to. While searching with the model & serial numbers in the support area does produce a list of computer specs, there are no how to buy tools and part numbers are ambiguous. If I were shopping for a laptop, I would steer away from this computer, and indeed any computer that doesn't come stock with more under the hood. It is simply not worth the frustration that comes with waiting on this thing to catch up with itself.
