Lenovo ThinkPad T510

Lenovo ThinkPad T510

Lenovo's ThinkPad T510 is heavy, but in exchange you get solid build quality and a large screen. The keyboard is well designed and although battery life isn't great, this notebook is likely to spend more of its time on the desk than on the move. Read more

Lenovo ThinkPad X1

Lenovo ThinkPad X1

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is the thinnest ThinkPad ever made, and it's a slim, cleanly designed 13in. ultraportable that's worth a look for business travellers. But it's not as thin as a MacBook Air, and its battery life isn't as good, either. Read more
