Performance

Thanks to its Intel fourth-generation Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM and 500GB hdd, our configuration of the ThinkPad E520 offered very strong performance that was good enough for demanding productivity work. On PCMark 7, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall performance, the E520 scored an impressive 4,970, well above the 3,445 thin-and-light laptop category average, the Toshiba Tecra Z40's mark of 2,524 and the T431s' 2,884 score.

The ThinkPad T420 took just 5 minutes and 14 seconds to complete the OpenOffice Spreadsheet Macro Test, where we match 20,000 names with their addresses. 

Keyboard

Lenovo ThinkPads have long set the gold standard for typing comfort, and the E520 more than lives up to this tradition. The notebook offers a backlit keyboard with very strong tactile feedback, great key spacing and a slightly curved key shape that makes it easy to avoid adjacent letter errors.

Design

The ThinkPad T420has the same chassis as the ThinkPad T431s, which launched in spring 2013, and carries the same design language as other ThinkPads. You'll find a smooth, raven black casing that features a carbon fiber lid and magnesium chassis. Like the , the E520 has a rather plain matte black lid instead of the luxurious soft-touch, rubberized lids Lenovo used on the older ThinkPad T430 and E520. A ThinkPad logo on the lid provides a splash of color with a red light in the letter "I" that blinks when the system is asleep. The famous red TrackPoint and a couple of red lines on the touchpad add accents to the deck.

Display

Our ThinkPad T420' Thor's cape appeared particularly deep and lively. Though glossy, the panel did not reflect back much light and provided extremely wide viewing angles; colors did not even wash out at 90 degrees to the left or right.
