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.
