Lenovo ThinkPad T420i NW1BAUK Review posted on 2012-02-11
14 inch Business Notebook
The T420 has basically been designed for business customers who are looking for a solid office laptop with a good application performance and nevertheless good mobile qualities. A slight performance increase in 3D applications can be expected in the configurations with a dedicated Nvidia NVS 4200M graphics card, which also supports DirectX 11, listed in the USA. However, our test laptop won't mutate to a stronger graphics workstation even with this graphics solution.

There's definitely a lot to the ThinkPad T420 - it's a well-rounded and well-built laptop. It supplied good speed in our tests and we found it to be very comfortable to use, although some people didn't like the placement of the TrackPoint device. We think it's a good model for anyone who wants a serious computer with which to do serious work.

The ThinkPad T420 or T420i is a great option as a college laptop. It has the battery life, usability and build quality it takes to get work done around campus. The option of configuring either a budget level laptop of around $800 or high-end laptop configuration of $1,400+ is great and allows you to design a laptop that fits your needs, but still get the same build and design quality no matter what you include. I like the fact the option for a higher resolution screen is present, for those of us that find we can do work more efficiently using two windows open at once on the screen you will appreciate the 1600 x 900 resolution screen. Overall a thumbs up on buying the T420 that is a worthy successor to the previous ThinkPad T410 and improves on an already great line of laptops.
