    The ThinkPad E420s is a consumer-oriented ThinkPad with a 1-inch thin chassis, a weight of just 4 pounds, and more than 6 hours of battery life. If that isn't enough to spark your interest, it has a starting price around $700. Read our full review for all the details.

    Thanks for the review, Charles. Sounds like a pretty solid notebook, aside from the abysmal screen... if only it had a 1600x900 matte screen!

    I'd like to argue the build quality, it is honestly quite horrible.

    I have a E420 for two years. In fact, it is like new even though I have used it heavily, booting up in less than a minute.
