Next generation in business-class.

Uncompromising performance.

Success in the business world means raising the bar instead of resting on one's laurels — and that's just what we did with the T420s. Get premium performance from improved features such as a 30-percent increase in battery life; 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors; Intel HD Graphics 3000 with twice the performance of previous generations; 10x the data transfer rate with USB 3.0; optimized Intel TurboBoost times with Lenovo Turbo Boost+; and optional Lenovo RapidDrive SSD technology for faster boot time and improved application performance. And you won't have to sacrifice mobility for performance — this ultrathin, ultralight powerhouse clocks in at 1.78 kg. and is less than 2.6cm thick, and with benchmark results of up to 10 hours with main plus optional bay battery, you can stay connected longer.

Secure reliability.

Reliability starts with durability — and you can count on the T420s, thanks to the eight Mil-spec tests it passes. It's also about controllability, which you'll have in abundance thanks to features like our best-in-class keyboard; precise, easy-to-use touchpad. Don't forget operability, which is provided by features like Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0 for Windows® 7, providing faster boot-up and shut-down and other business optimizations and Instant Resume for constant connectivity even in sleep mode. Offering the ultimate in security, compliments of the optional integrated fingerprint reader for both power-up and authentication, plus the capability of supporting encrypted hard drive technology with remote management support, optional smart card support and Lenovo Hardware Password Manager, just to name a few. Add them up and you get a combination that your business can rely on.

Multimedia boosts.

In many arenas, laptops are becoming the preferred method of communication over telephones, and this one has been optimized for just such a reason. You can expect exceptional VoIP and videoconferencing, thanks to multiple premium features: a 720p webcam for higher resolution and smoother video; a brilliant HD+ LCD display; dual HD microphones with ambient noise-cancellation; keyboard noise suppression technology to eliminate the sound of annoying key clicks during internet calls; and two microphone settings for conversation mode — private chat and conference call. Combine those with Dolby® Home Theater® with virtual surround sound technology, and you get the excellent sound quality for both business and pleasure.

Accessories that mean business.

For true mobility, carry and protect your investment with a ThinkPad Business case — backpack or toploader. Bring along the 3-cell bay battery for maximum battery life. Back at the office, use your T420s 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 also supports three external monitors for a four-display configuration, when sold with the optional NVidia Optimus graphics card.
