Review Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 (NZQBQGE) Notebook

 

Consumer laptop for business. Lenovo's ThinkPad Edge E530 is trying really hard to make an attempt at being a representative of the “ThinkPad” brand for the masses. This review will evaluate whether the offering will cut it in a market looking for...

Good system performance, Good upgrade options, Bright and matte screen, Cool case, Successful fusion of the consumer and business category with balanced qualities

Contrast weak, viewing angle dependent and course resolution screen, Partly fluctuating fan, GPU's performance throttling on battery, A better screen, intelligent interface distribution and predictable fan behaviour in some situations

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Fine hardware

 

Windows 8 has officially driven me to Linux. Linux leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to easy of use, but if I have to learn all new things anyway I'd rather learn an open source OS.

The first thing I did was install Ubuntu. It's been great ever since (although 14.04 complains about a back-light thing on boot, the back-light FN keys work fine)

I'd rather have had a solid state hard drive over the huge one it came with. Windows 8 key in Bios means you don't own a legal copy to visualize a Windows OS if you want
