T420 first ever laptop to capture UL Environment Gold rating

“
Companies like Lenovo that choose third party certification to environmental standards are not only encouraging customer peace of mind, but they are raising the sustainability bar for their industry peers.

Balanced for business.

You hire top-tier employees; why settle for less with their business tools? These laptops maintain the industry-leading innovation of our ThinkPad portfolio while incorporating new advanced industry technologies. They offer the perfect balance of mobility, manageability and security — the best mix available for any enterprise-class deployment.

Top-tier performance.

The ThinkPad T420 and T520 laptops have the top-performance features every business-class user needs: 2^nd Generation Intel® Core™ processors for a 20-percent increase in performance; Intel HD Graphics 3000 with twice the performance of previous generations; optional Lenovo RapidDrive SSD technology for faster boot time and improved application performance; accelerated bios; system driver maximization; increased battery life; Intel vPro™ technology; and more. We like to call their performance "uncompromising" — you ought to call it "yours."

Computing comfort.

On-the-go professionals will really enjoy these thinner, lighter models with a keyboard design considered "Best in Class" for those all-important, ergonomic concerns. They're also easy on the eyes and ears, thanks to the superior web conferencing capabilities of a 720p HD webcam and advanced noise-suppression microphone plus keyboard noise reduction technology. Comfort also means peace of mind, which users will have from knowing these laptops are durable — they pass eight rugged Milspec tests — and secure, thanks to optional features like encrypted hard drive technology with remote management support, integrated fingerprint reader authentication, Trusted Platform Module and Lenovo Hardware Password Manager, just to name a few. Toss in increased battery times — benchmarked at up to 30 hours with an external slice — and Instant Resume for constant connectivity even in sleep mode, and these laptops are perfect for the hectic, mobile lifestyle of the business set.

Accessories that fit to a T.

When you take your laptop on the road, protect your investment with a ThinkPad Carry Case, available as a backpack or toploader. If you need optimal battery life, carry along the 9-cell slice which when combined with the 9-cell system battery benchmarks up to 30 hours. Back at the office, use it like a desktop PC with a ThinkPad Port Replicator Series 3 or Mini Dock Series 3, offering rear port cable management and connectivity. The Mini Dock Plus supports three monitors in addition to your laptop display, for a four-monitor configuration (requires optional NVidia Optimus graphics solution).
