And just recently, Lenovo has launched a new S-series (also part of Edge family) in the S420, S220 two products, they E420s, E220s in the same mold, but the color changed from dark green so-called friction Black card (in a different perspective, will be alternating brown and black), slightly upgraded hardware.

In fact, from the elite version of the E-series body, we find great hope for its association with other E-Series products, they use more expensive magnesium alloy, less weight, more body compact, the volume further reduced. Elite version of the tune some of the E series, you can also say that it is too bright, and let other so-called compatriots seem depressed. Out of the elite version of the division, which is Lenovo's market development strategy, S Series was born, it continues the elite version of the E-series positioning.

A, ThinkPad S420: Appearance

And E420s the same mold

The evaluation of the protagonist of ThinkPad S420, it is identical with the E420s mold, aluminum-magnesium alloy body, like skin coating, texture strong chrome frame, rounded corners, unbounded Diamond screen ... ... everything is so familiar. The only difference is that the dark green shell into a mocha black. Lenovo's official website through query that its "charm business' position, breaking the ThinkPad has always been black the limitations of the S420's aesthetic thinking to integrate technology into the classic.

After a new interior design, non-removable battery, slot-loading optical drive for ThinkPad S420's body is more compact, at the same time, thick and full screen with a certain curvature of the fuselage to ensure solid, even so, S420 body with a thickness of almost the same coin.

The compact design allows 14-inch ThinkPad S420 on the advantages in portability, the whole weight of less than 2 kg, with a thinner body can easily be placed with packages, but also more convenient to carry around. dell vostro 1510 battery

In the ThinkPad S420 body, matte non-glare screen has disappeared, replaced by "King Kong unbounded screen", you can even freshen up the face of it, dressed in a seamless integrated over the design so I think the end of the ThinkPad Table, and with t popular tablet.

ThinkPad S420 C glass fiber surface material, surface grinding process, with both hands placed on the palm rest more comfortable. The keyboard is still using the line 6 sub-island arc design, without any independent shortcuts, users can "Fn + F1 ~ F12" key combination to achieve the icon corresponding to the function. Above the keyboard is a pair with a fourth-generation Dolby Home Theater audio speakers, the actual effect of the Classic with the same size compared to the more outstanding.

Trackpoint ThinkPad is an indispensable factor, S420 is no exception. The keys on the key process longer, force feedback is also quite good, and also has spill-resistant feature, the use of comfort on the keyboard, although many black fans of their disdain, but it is still the greatest degree of assurance of the ThinkPad tradition keyboard operating experience.

Family of next-generation ThinkPad touchpad all as integrated design, while ensuring the integrity of the more beautiful, but in practice when you press the left button when the mouse pointer will be more or less drift, but in the multi-touch mode of operation, the larger touchpad to facilitate the integration of many.

Order and chrome "waist" corresponds to upgrade the whole texture, ThinkPad S420 screen hinge also made chrome plated, the damping is moderate, but in the case will be open a little shake. "King Kong screen unbounded" tape around the cover to ensure that the keyboard is not offset caused by the screen imprint.

ThinkLight who also have the S420, there is no "roof" it's built-in design needs to better ensure simple, an LED light, a reflector, plus the "unbounded King Kong Screen" and the gap between the screen, ThinkLight was born. By Fn + Spacebar to open the improved mode of operation allows the user to single-hand operation.

ThinkPad S420 provides two USB 2.0 ports (yellow USB interface can be turned off in charge of external devices), eSATA / USB 2.0 hybrid port, RJ45 network cable port, HDMI port, multi-card reader as well as compound audio jack. The left side of the fuselage USB interface, no little inconvenience, because when the right side of the USB all the time occupied would be more or less affect the operation of the mouse. Cooling air outlet on the right, through actual use, due to its upper position, and will not appear until blowing hand side of the case, users do not have to worry about.

Infrequently, such as plug interface and VGA interface cable is designed to back-end, while the eSATA / USB 2.0 interface can also act as a hybrid wired mouse or wireless mouse adapter interface, in order to liberate the right side of the fuselage 2 USB ports easy to take advantage of. In addition, SIM card slot is located in the left side of cable, with the body internal mini PCI-e slot on the 3G wireless network adapter for anytime, anywhere with wireless wide area network interconnection, because each type of configuration, the body Internally, I did not find 3G wireless network adapter, there is no reserve antenna. dell tk330

Love the black of the first ages of its superior user comfort, and secondly that it "can be frustrating nature" - the ubiquitous nature of DIY accessories and powerful. Although the ThinkPad S420 slightly less in this regard, but by the dismantling of the essence can still see the black

This mini PCI-e slot can be extended not only WWAN, you can also extend mSATA, with the association of EE 2.0 (full name ENHANCED EXPERIENCE 2.0, which is often said RapidBoot Quick Start technology) S420 System start-up time can be reduced by 30%, but mSATA is rare in the market and the price is expensive, and because of the internal space constraints, S420 only one internal mini PCI-e slot, WWAN module that mSATA and he did not have me, I did not have him.

Won the ThinkPad S420 of the C shell, you will find only one memory slot is also idle, on-board 2GB of memory? Of course not, the other a memory slot in the back of the motherboard, leaving a slot easy for users to upgrade, of course, if you need a strong memory capacity of 4GB 2 need to S420 into pieces.

Just from the parameters, its deal with everyday computing tasks more onerous no problem, through the Cinebench R10 test, the higher the score also proved this point.

MAXON Cinebench by the company introduced a processor test software, which is based on MAXON's award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D development. Cinebench by a number of tests to measure the contents of a computer processor and graphics performance, it supports up to 16 processors or processor Core tests, and can be Windows (32-bit or 64-bit) systems running.

From multimedia home entertainment system to the notebook, from professional workstations to high-end gaming platform, whether in the hands of professionals, or belonging to the ordinary user, can understand the system performance through the PCMark Vantage test content can be divided into the processor test, memory test, graphics test, hard disk test.

Intel Core i5-2410M processor with AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics card such a configuration will have a high fever, running 1 hour PCmark Vantage, the two images by looking up and down, the body thin ThinkPad S420 fairly good performance .

Aluminum-magnesium alloy material, texture stronger, more compact body of E420s and E220s in the pursuit of cost-effective E-series in slightly out of tune, which is the elite version they are marked with the reason for clearer market positioning, the E420s and E220s into the new S series launch is well deserved, this test belong to the S420 and S220 correspond to the Department of performance, portability, quality, comfort, price and service requirements of certain individuals , fashion users. dell xps m1330 battery
