Lenovo ThinkPad E450 14″ Business Laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad E450 business-oriented notebook PC has a 14″ display and the latest 5th Gen Intel Core Broadwell processors. The Broadwell CPUs, up to the Core i7-4550U, are accompanied by up to 16GB of RAM memory. For data storage, the E450 can provide up to 1-Terabyte of hard drive space. Aimed at small business customers, it lacks some advanced enterprise features such as built-in fingerprint and SmartCard readers and support for the old-school docking stations, found on the more advanced ThinkPads such as the T-series. It also lacks Lenovo’s PowerBridge technology with dual batteries. However, the E450 does offer some nice perks such as Full HD resolution option besides standard 720p, and an optional dedicated graphics card in form of the AMD Radeon R7 M260 2GB.

Lenovo claims the battery life on the ThinkPad E450 is up to nine hours. The battery isn’t user removable.

In terms of portability, the E450 is an average 14-incher, with a weight of four pounds and 0.9″ thick profile.

If you like this laptop, but want a larger 15.6″ screen and a numeric pad on the keyboard, you should check out the ThinkPad E550.
