Elite version Edge
ThinkPad Edge E220s June on sale in Japan. (E420s has not been released yet). Compared with the previous ThinkPad, this laptop give a person a kind of pleasant different impression. In this article, we interviewed product development involved in some of the core team, they learn in the process of developing the thoughts and feelings after the end.
- E220s and E420s like Edge and other products are a little different. Is that so?
Kinoshita: yes, it is. From the beginning, our development concept is "a besides its function is a little special elements of the Edge quality model". If you think these model "seems to have a little different," then means that we succeeded. Lenovo company, we call them "Edge Premium" and "Edge Plus", also is the elite version of the Edge.
- I think, elite Edge version for ThinkPad is also a unique product. How does it do that?
Kinoshita: we pay attention to the company customers in a new trend: take your own computer to work (BYOPC). I think, a lot of people want to be able to choose their own computer, because it is an important business tool. In fact, I do. I'd like some a little something special. Before this, you just use IT department choose computer, but I think, we move to a new era: you will be able to choose your own computer.
Edge Premium for "looking for a little bit different characteristics" customers, it is for this reason. Through the Edge, we believe that we have been through the production product series does not exist before the new market positioning products, expands the provide for the customer choice scope. I think, this product to individual buyers also is very attractive.
Kinoshita: the choice of magnesium alloy, built-in battery and suction drive is to consider frivolous. Choose other function is in order to realize the refined design and high quality feeling. No doubt, it is a quite difficult innovation, because once we do a lot of new design. 1:http://powerzi.com/12v-4a-desktop-type-ac-dc-adapter-p-32.html 12V4A AC DC Adapter
Kosugi: electronic components, this is the first time we use the built-in battery and suction cd-rom. Even so, but nothing can stop us, let us avoid or other to other. I think, the actual work is mechanical and design team finished. I'm sorry they can't come today.
- do have a lot of new things. If you can be faithful to the traditional ThinkPad?
Kinoshita: we really try many new challenges. However, this does not mean that we improve the function and other aspects not fully into. The advantages of traditional ThinkPad is easy to use and strong, and, of course, continue to provide a series of Edge these advantages. I firmly believe that, because I'm using my E220s.
- this is relieved. Do you think the most important Edge elite version of a little bit of information is what?
Kinoshita: not just its quality sense, for this section type how thin, let me, on behalf of today can't present the mechanical design team members boast a boast.
In the ThinkPad products, E220s is the most thin 12 inches model, and E420s is almost and T420s, is the most thin 14 inches model.
E220s and E420s structure similar to the one of history's most thin ThinkPad X1 model. Through the magnesium alloy top and bottom cover and built-in battery makes it possible. I think, for one preferred frivolous machine, perhaps this can be used as a bargaining one aspect. (laugh)
- oh, I remember, Edge elite version of the shell color is not the traditional black. Although, when a lot of people first saw it, might think it's black.
Kinoshita: yes, indeed. We call it a moss black. This is a very deep moss green. It is our from "a bit different" many color choose out of the color, and the original design model is brought out color.
When I asked people to explain, I always called "TUMI bag color". According to the Angle of the light, TUMI black nylon cloth looks just a little green. I think this is a kind of suitable for business occasions of good color.
Kosugi: I called it "the blackboard color". This ought to be able to call back some memory. (laugh)
- finally, I want to ask, do you have the actual use of the E220s months of feeling.
Kinoshita: I like it. It fit my needs. Easy to use, compact body. I especially like that make it a little different quality feeling. Keyboard tactility, ThinkLight keyboard lights and with built-in button ClickPad touchpad is also very good. I really think ClickPad touchpad is good. Click on the feeling and key process is very good, and have enough width, easier for many refers to the operation. PgUp and PgDn I assigned to touch pad, when I browse the web is like to use it.
