Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E431 review

Budget users who do a lot of typing will love the E431's keyboard and low price. But the screen and battery life are a bit of a bummer, and most will want to wait for an update with Intel's new, more efficient CPUs.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E431 isn’t without its sacrifices, but with a starting price for a business laptop that starts at less than $550, that’s to be expected. You’ll have to pay extra for solid-state cache or storage. And you’ll have to live without...

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E431

We recommend small business owners buy a true business PC like the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E431. It will pay off in comfort, performance, and peace of mind.

Windows 7. Nice price. Removable battery. Good multimedia performance. Sturdy, comfortable keyboard. Dual pointing devices. Fingerprint reader. Function keys work as icons first, F1-F12 second. Matte finish screen. Large multi-touch trackpad.

Middling battery life. USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports are both black. No 5GHz Wi-Fi support. 1,366 by 768 resolution.

And there's the rub. The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E431 won't make you stop pining for one of the high-end ultrabooks, nor should it. That's not its place. The ThinkPad Edge E431 is an excellent business laptop for the money, and certainly a more portable...

Worst computer ever.

Please don't put anything on this that you expect to use in a pinch.

None, just a plain lemon.

Was always finicky, the problems just compounded, even though having an anti virus and then the computer simply quit. No ability to restart, even from a recovery disk. Lenovo Lenever again.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Rugged business laptop, poor out-of-box performance

Great all-around laptop, but get the 4 or 8gb version, and be sure to cut out all the annoying bloatware.

Durable, rugged, compact design. Looks pretty sleek. Definitely fulfills the requirements for a business machine

Out-of-box performance was embarrassingly inferior. Loaded to the hilt with bloatware. Even after removing all of the bloatware and cutting down to the minimum required startup services and programs, it was still a dog. The culprit, as it turns out, is...
