  • The ThinkPad T420 has several things going for it: performance, plenty of ports, excellent battery life, and a very comfortable keyboard
  • The design of the bulky, business-oriented T420 is positively Stone Age. It's also priced well above similar consumer laptops. No HDMI, no USB 3.0
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is as straight-up and unassuming as a business laptop can be on the surface, souped up with faster performance, long battery life, and a flexible selection of ports under the hood.

  • Strong performance, Excellent battery life, Business-rugged ThinkPad architecture, Unique videoconferencing features
  • Bland styling, Small touch pad, No Blu-ray option or USB 3.0 ports, Low-res Webcam
  • With Sandy Bridge-grade speed, great battery life, durability features, and other goodies, the ThinkPad T420 is arguably today's best business thin-and-light. (But yes, it’s still basic black.) ...

  • Good build quality, Excellent keyboard and trackpad/touchpad, Highresolution 900p antiglare screen, 10 hours of battery life!,
  • Weak speakers, Design might not appeal to all,
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is a well-engineered 14" business notebook. It has the hallmark ThinkPad qualities including great build quality and a superior keyboard. I liked almost everything about it. The anti-glare screen prevents reflections at with a 1600x900 resolution, provides a lot of working space. The keyboard has a highly functional layout and the trackpoint and touchpad are easy to use.
