ThinkPad Line Gets Two New Consumer Models — Edge and X100e

Lenovo let the cat out of the bag early about new additions to the ThinkPad line that are being released in time for the big CES. The ThinkPad Edge is the first consumer ThinkPad, and I’ve covered it in a video review. The other interesting addition is the ThinkPad X100e, which brings the line closer to the netbook category in features and price.

The ThinkPad Edge is initially available in a 13-inch model, starting at $549. In the second quarter of this year the Edge will also be available in 14-inch and a 15-inch models, pricing unknown. The Edge is a solid entry into the consumer space, and continues the ThinkPad tradition with a good keyboard.

The ThinkPad X100e is an 11.6-inch notebook that starts at a consumer-friendly price of $449. The notebook will have AMD processor options, and like all ThinkPads will leverage the ThinkVantage Technologies. Like the Edge, the X100e has both a TrackPoint and a multitouch trackpad for control of the Windows 7 interface. The X100e weighs under 3 pounds, making it the most portable ThinkPad available.
