Lenovo T420 and T520 Notebooks Now On Sale With "Sandy Bridge"

If you're interested in a laptop that will last 15 hours then look no further than the Lenovo ThinkPad T420 and T520 notebooks which are now on sale today. They both pack Intel "Sandy Bridge" CPUs and the same old ThinkPad look that you should be used to by now. The smaller 14-inch model packs a Core i3 as a standard while the 15.6-inch model has a more powerful Core i5 CPU. If you're looking to get an extended battery life then you're going to have to pick up the $50 9-cell battery upgrade which is worth in. Unfortunately, the standard model only has Intel HD graphics 3000 which aren't amazing. Whenever you're ready check them out here and here, respectively, on LogicBuy.

Lenovo Unveils New ThinkPad T Series With New Intel Core 2011 CPUs and Up To 30 Hours Of Battery Life!

Lenovo has just announced a bunch of new notebooks that will be available on March 29th which is about 5 weeks away. The first batch are the new ThinkPad T Series notebooks and they'll be coming in 14-inch (T420 and T420s) and 15.6-inch (T520) models. They're all packing your choice of Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 CPUs, optional WiMAX, and even EVDO / HSPA connectivity if you want.

Of course, you also get WiFi b/g/n or a/g/n, Nvidia NVS 4200M graphics with Optimus technology, up to 320GB of HDD storage / 160GB SSD storage. Here's where it gets interesting. The 9-cell battery on the T420 and T520 notebooks will last up to 15 hours and 11 hours, respectively. The T420s on the other hand will last up to 10 hours with a 6-cell battery. Furthermore, if you throw on an additional 9-cell battery slice on the T420 notebook it'll last for a whopping 30 hours. That's insane. The T420, T420s, and T520 will cost $1,029, $1,399, and $999, respectively. Like I said, they'll be available on March 29th.
