ThinkPad SL Series

The Ultimate Small Business Tool

pc.ibm.com

Performance and value
The Thinkpad SL series has the reliability and durability small businesses require. It has the quality the ThinkPad brand is known for, as well as services and features tailored to meet their specific needs..

	Model	Display	Details
	SL400	14.1” widescreen	The new ThinkPad SL400 notebook is designed for small business, with a 14.1'' display that's strikes a great balance between portability and desktop-replacement.
	SL500	15.4” widescreen	A big 15.4'' widescreen display gives the new small business ThinkPad SL500 extra on-screen landscape for viewing complex spreadsheets, DVD movies and more.

Outstanding Connectivity
The last thing you need to worry about if you are out calling on a client is how to connect to the internet. The ThinkPad SL comes standard with WLAN built in, and offers a variety of available wireless connectivity options. The WWANted feature gives you embedded WWAN capability (select countries) for faster connectivity, upload and download times. You can take advantage of your carrier’s entire network, instead of being concerned with connecting to a specific LAN. In selected cities, the ThinkPad SL’s WiMax capability lets you connect over several miles’ radius without having an agreement with a wireless carrier.

Core technology
ThinkPad SL Series notebooks feature Intel® Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology. Notebooks with Intel® Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology helps keep your workforce mobile, managed and secure. With hardware-assisted remote isolation, diagnostics and repair, you can manage your mobile workforce wirelessly, even if the system’s OS is unresponsive.7And with industry-leading performance1, you’ll get faster wireless connectivity speeds and the longest possible battery life. Free up your workforce and experience mobile computing without limits. Get industry-leading performance1 from Intel.

Other technology features available on ThinkPad SL Series notebooks include:

		Integrated or discrete graphics – Intel® integrated graphics are ideal for Web browsing and business applications. Or for extra horsepower such as 3D applications, try the discrete graphics solutions from NVIDIA. High definition audio and video – Thinkpad SL series gives you best-in-class audio and video, including optional Blu-Ray high definition DVD optical drives and HDMI port standard on all models. High-resolution widescreen displays – Bright, easy-to-view displays up to 14.1’’ WXGA+, Anti-glare (1440x900) and 15.4’’ WSXGA+, Anti- glare (1680x1050).
		Contemporary,stylish design Like every ThinkPad, the SL Series is black to give it a serious, businesslike exterior. Its glossy finish gives it an edgier, more personalized look. It’s vibrant-view and anti-glare displays deliver an outstanding picture, whether viewing spreadsheets or watching videos.

Environmentally responsible Lenovo is committed to protecting the environment and keeping your energy costs low. And we're especially proud that select models (ThinkPad SL300 only) are EPEAT Gold rated, EPEAT Silver rated (ThinkPad SL400/SL500) and Climate Savers certified. To earn a silver rating, the ThinkPad SL had to pass a set of 23 required performance criteria and 28 optional criteria in 8 categories. The new Energy Star 4.0 label attesting to their superior efficiency and low emissions.

Our latest notebooks are extremely energy efficient. The Energy Star 4.0 label requires that discrete graphics models in idle state consume less than 22W power, integrated graphics models less than 14W. This lowers operating costs, obviously. But it also means less overall energy use and reduced heat emissions — making a Lenovo notebook a wise choice for the environment.

Acer Aspire One notebook computer

Written by Tom Royal

Computeract!ve, 10 Jul 2008

Miniature notebooks, which do all the jobs of full-sized ones but with slightly less power, seem to be the order of the day in 2008.

The trend was started by the Asus Eee, but since then there's been the Packard Bell Easynote XS, the HP Mininote, the MSI Wind and now the Acer Aspire One. The latter stands out in this crowded marketplace because it's one of the cheapest around, at £230.

The One looks smart, with a white case and shiny black bezel around the 9in 1,024x600 pixel screen. The screen isn’t particularly bright, but it is good enough for browsing online and for work. Acer has employed a lot of font smoothing, though, so text doesn’t appear as pin-sharp as it does on some others.

Along the two sides are sockets: three USB, network, monitor, headphone, microphone and memory card readers. The card reader on the right side works like a normal one, but the one on the left can be used to expand the computer's main storage: a memory card inserted there will add its capacity automatically to the main storage (instead of a hard disk it uses an 8GB memory chip).

The slim battery has a relatively low capacity, so despite some useful power-saving tricks, the One doesn't last long on a charge. Without wireless networking, it ran out after two and a quarter hours in our tests, which is far lower than the MSI Wind can do, for instance. Regular travellers will have to go for the larger £80 battery (which is not yet available).

The keyboard is much better – it's well-designed with larger keys that we quickly adjusted to. The trackpad has mouse buttons on either side, but a function key can disable the touch pad entirely if it gets in the way when typing.

Inside the One you’ll find a 1.6GHZ Intel Atom processor, 512MB of memory and the 8GB of storage. It's happy enough running a few browser windows and a word processor at the same time, and is capable of playing DivX video files. A small fan cools the system, but it’s quite quiet.

Windows XP Home will be available on more expensive Aspire One models, but this one uses the free Linux operating system with a selection of useful programs installed. We liked the ability to start both Firefox and Openoffice Writer from the front screen, and the email and instant messaging programs can cleverly connect to several services.

As yet, Acer has not confirmed when the Aspire One will be available, but it's expected to ship by August. When that happens, although the competition betters it in a few areas, at just £230 the One will be the best value mini notebook out there.

Vista compatible: No
