Lenovo's ThinkPad W520 is a fast 15.6in. notebook with a high-quality display whose limited portability isn't helped by a brick-like AC adapter. If you do take the W520 on the road, then its battery performance ought to be adequate. The superb screen, discrete graphics and high-capacity hard drive lend themselves to multimedia-intensive activities, but the W520 should handle all manner of resource-hungry applications with ease.

With the new ThinkPad W520, Lenovo has brought to the market a truly powerful mobile workstation that can effortlessly perform broad variety of tasks. The weight of the model we reviewed came to 2.7 kg including the 94 Wh Akku' hardly more than typical consumer multimedia laptops'and its dimensions are typical for a workstation. What's really nice is the long battery life that ranges from 1.5 hours to a whole 8 hours thanks to Nvidia Optimus.
