Launched at CES 2011 in January, Lenovo has finally starting shipping it’s latest ThinkPad Edge E420s notebook lineup in the US. Designed to meet the needs of the small to medium Enterprise market it features a 14 inch 1366 x 768 LED-Backlit display with a 2.1GHz Core i3-2310M Sandy Bridge powered CPU.

Its nice to see that lenovo make laptops that look this century. I get the whole business machines must be black and look all sterile thing but some of the thinkpads are just horrendous.
