Although not being the much touted retro-styled ThinkPads everyone hopes for, Lenovo continues its line of stylish and elegant ThinkPads fit for everybody's business applications, or day to day needs.

Loaded with the latest technology but, more importantly, with stylish designs, Lenovo's latest laptops, the updated Lenovo M, B and E line, together with a new ThinkPad E Series bring elegance and a minimum of performance to small and medium businesses that are looking for new PC solutions in increasing the collaboration between employees on the move or at their office.

The new ThinkPad E-series comes available in 14-inch and 15.6-inch anti-glare displays, offers remarkable performance, exceptional mobility and claims outstanding features for small businesses that want the best mobile system that addresses their needs for a good workflow.

The new laptop series includes the already well-known ThinkPad optional fingerprint security to protect from external threats and facilitate PC access by allowing users to create more complex and secure passwords linked to their fingerprint.

The battery life of the new series offers up to nine hours of continuous usage, and claims to use the "latest generation" of Intel and AMD processors offering up to ten percent raw performance increase and up to thirty-four percent for integrated graphics. Although Lenovo doesn't make it clear what sort of CPUs we'll see in the new ThinkPad, it's very likely it'll be a last generation Broadwell i5 Core M.

Lenovo maintains its tradition for great security features

The new laptop also offers the option of a discrete graphics inclusion, and up to 16 GB of DDR memory together with a larger SSD drive. Connectivity-wise, the new laptops will feature three USB3, one HDMI and a Gigabit Ethernet, all of which are standard by now in most business laptops.

Interestingly enough, Lenovo keeps up with its highly regarded physical security measures, than includes not only the fingerprint sensor, but now it also has the Intel RealSense Technology 3D camera that supports besides 3D applications for design and creativity a facial recognition security system that scans the user's face before logging into the system.

Lenovo's new ThinkPad and Lenovo M, B and E series aren't groundbreaking, but they do provide a quality business computing system that excels not in performance but in its reliable security protection.

The new ThinkPad E460 and E465 will be available from November with a starting price of $549 € 485) and $449 (€ 396) respectively, while the ThinkPad E560 and E565 will be available from November with a starting price of $549 (€485) and $479 (€423) respectively.
