    Hello guys, I apologize, to reopen this discussion,
    But I have some gaps

    I read some reviews on the Edge Thinkpad 13 "is a beautiful product,
    but did not find much material here
    so I was wondering "?" because, in the descriptions of Lenovo is 13 inches in only 3 posts?
    for this model?
    Then ... I said, "The Edge 13" ... do not go as subnetbook "
    We come to us, I am Italian, and in Italy there are few models on board 13 "(inches), however,
    Use the? ...
    Pacman and play online ... qualke Flash MMORPG
    The use will be:
    Surf, chat youtube see photos / movies and HD video
    models now
    1 i3-1 CPU-380UM first generation
    2-CPU 1.80 GHz AMD Turion X2 + Dedicated neo Raedon VGA ATI HD 4200?
    3 serie with the new E-350 1.60 GHz AMD X2

    which of the 3 ... is more powerful for the work I do?

    last question, I'd go for the price to pay for the models given above, or go to Sandy Bridge two generation i5 2410 at Edge E420 simple ?

    thanks

    All three of models you are looking at would work. I would go with the i3-380Um as Intel tends to run cooler, more battery life, etc.

    What is the price difference between the Edge 13 and E420? The i5 2410 is a huge leap in CPU performance and still a big GPU improvement compared to the other models you're looking at.

    Hello :) thanks for the quick response, therefore, first of all tell you that here in Italy
    the difference between the 13-inch edge, and il14 ... E420 does not exist, :mad: the price is almost the same, and among other very expensive ... Here the 13-inch (that just looks ... XD XD XD with turion and i3 380M)

    http://www.thinkpoint.it/store/comersus_advancedSearchExec.asp?expType=ATT&idSuperCategory=2&idCategory=0&idSubCategory=0&idSupplier=0&SWT=1&ORD=PRC_CRS&idProductType=&SEL_Thinkpad$Schermo (pollici)=13%2C3||

    other considerations, the United States, the 13 "edge not seen him in more ... lenovo site.
    I see the Edge 420,
    But in Italy I see only the E420s ... Gulp! Bhooo "?" :confused:
    At this point I remain, consideration for lthinkpad Edge E420 Classic, but does not know if with i5-2410 HD3000
    or i3 -2310- HD3000 -
    with considerable savings, Currency Currency Dollar / Euro, here Klink Lenovo. USA
    Lenovo - Laptop computers - ThinkPad Edge E420


    thanks

    That second link is a E420s since it uses a li-po battery. A astonishingly high price. A E420 should be significantly cheaper. Can also refer to the thin-and-light link in my sig with a comparison of other systems which you may wish to shortlist, eg: 14" Dell Vostro 3450 or 13"/14" HP Probook 4330s/4430s.

    i am not sure why European customers are charged at this price. They are probably sold through intermediaries whom maybe taking a large cut.

    In Australia, lenovo ANZ is dropping the Thinkpad prices pretty aggressively.

    :D Hello, I answer Nando4, thanks ... but Dell and HP do not inspire me ... then HP PC is leaving the field ...however, give a look, thanks
    Hello Lead Org ... In fact, I would like to Buy the ThinkPad E420 from the States united, the problem is "?"
    The warranty is international? because I feel, in various forums, that: "if you purchase a product or a machine from Lenovo U.S. - such as the E420, which uses Lenovo else ...
    invecee the Italian site, the Notebook does not exist, else, once you arrive / arrived in Italy,
    the guarantee does not exist!
    here is my fear ...
    I called lenovo think that Italy, and I told him, that I should find my travels in America, and I want to Buy the E420 model so I asked if the guarantee IWS (intern.Warranty Service) arrived in Italy once existed .. . You know what he said ... "... I do not know!"? "
    I "Ehhh! As I do not know ???:"

    She "But you should use it in Italy?"

    I "No look, I buy by the case tenermelo
    and once arrived at the hotel to another country, I keep it as sopprammobile

    usual chat ... Bla Bla blablabla ....
    - At the end ...
    She "could not call Lenovo U.S.? :eek:
    I put down

    You let me know :(

    I'M Cry Cry
    In Italy we are in bad shape ... I live in a country where the news of the first national talk for 25 minutes of crap, and in the remaining 5 incites gambling

    hours, because I do not know if the number is (1411) ... because yesterday, I called Lenovo Italy, and they told me to take the Number Machine ... and put it inside the white box, see above your Link
    and eventually gives me a number of Tel .... Italy

    [​IMG]

    The machine number is ... where else is the red arrow
    View image
    right?
    Well, hoping that everything is right, and that at the end of this blessed machine number is right ...

    it doesn't say which is Thinkpad wireless card it is, whether it is the 1 x 1 model or the 2 x 2 model. In which case i would go with the Intel 1000 wireless instead.

    Usually Lenovo lists the Thinkpad Wireless Card spec like 1 x 1 or 2 x 2. I wouldn't get the 1 x 1 model, as it is not capable of going to 5 ghz N mode or MIMO for that matter.
