Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 Review

Rating: 8.0.

If you are in the market for a new laptop, then there are certainly no shortage of options available today. We tend to focus on gaming machines at Kitguru, however today's review product will appeal to a business user who values performance, portability and build quality. The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 is designed for productivity, equipped with a fast Intel Core i5 processor, Nvidia Optimus graphics and 4GB of DDR3 memory.

Lenovo have a range of laptop computers designed specifically for the business user. The Edge S430 is targeted at the ‘small business' user, weighs less than 1.8KG and has a rated battery life around 6 hours.

For a frequent flyer, this machine looks to be an ideal choice, especially as it uses an almost identical keyboard to the class leading unit incorporated into the ThinkPad X1 back in September last year.

Feature Set:

  • 2GB NVIDIA® discrete graphics with Optimus™ technology
  • Integrated DVD reader/writer or second HDD
  • Trusted Platform Module
  • Progressive, clean design in soft-touch mocha black
  • Lenovo Solutions for Small Business
  • InstantResume
  • Durable dropdown hinges
  • Spill-resistant keyboard
  • HDD Performance Booster
  • Active Protection System™
  • ULE Gold-certified
  • Integrated 720p HD camera with face tracking
  • USB 3.0, mini-DP/Thunderbolt™, mini-HDMI, 4-in-1 card reader

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.

  1. I love their keyboards too, my boss has one in work (not sure of the model number, but the keyboard is fantastic).

    id rather have a less powerful laptop with a great screen and keyboard rather than the latest processor.

  2. I hate the idea of the battery being inside the chassis. never liked that idea.

  3. I like the look of their new carbon X1. I bought the original X1 on your review last time and I think its almost perfect. If they improve the screen on the carbon version im flogging mine off and upgrading to the new one.

  4. WOW, that thing is thicker than the power brick LOL

  5. Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 beautiful laptop. They provide such as light in weight, built-in DVD writer, 14-inch wide HD+ screen, SD memory card, another USB port,2GB NVIDIA graphics card, memory capacity of 8 GB RAM and many more.
