Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 Price and Review

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 can be considered an almost complete product and is one of the best choices for office and industrial locations, especially for engineers and managers.

Design and construction

In short, the design of the ThinkPad Edge E530 has not changed significantly from previous models in the ThinkPad family. There is a thin silver and aluminum strip around the screen frame. Almost all devices except the space around and between the keys on the keyboard have a matte finish, so you will not have to worry too much about keeping the look of the notebook (except the keyboard) clean.

The device weighs about 2.5 kg, which is a standard weight for a 15.6-inch notebook. The build quality of the ThinkPad Edge E530 is very high and it can easily be considered one of the most high-built engineering/office refurbished laptops on the market. The screen hinges are very durable and easily hold the screen firmly in place.

ThinkPad Edge E530 Ports

On the side edges, you can see VGA and HDMI video outputs, some USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, a LAN port, and a combined audio port. In addition, there is a card reader on the front edge.

ThinkPad Edge E530 Display and Speaker

This refurbished office laptop has a 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768, which is also equipped with a matte finish. Of course, there are also models with HD + resolution, ie 1600 × 900. Apart from the resolution, the screen brightness of all models is very high, and this high brightness, along with the opacity of the screen, allows users to easily work with their notebook outdoors in the sun. The colors produced are also very vivid and natural, which is why the ThinkPad Edge E530 can be recommended to graphic designers as well. Like all screens that use TN panels, the ThinkPad Edge E530 screen has a good viewing angle in landscape mode, but if you look at it a little from above or below, you will see a big drop in the quality of the images produced. The front edge has a built-in speaker bar.

As expected, the ThinkPad Edge E530 speakers are not of good quality and are only suitable for the most basic audio tasks. For this reason, ThinkPad Edge E530 users (especially those who edit music tracks or videos) are advised to use external speakers or headphones.

ThinkPad Edge E530 Keyboard and Touchpad

keyboard and touch on the ThinkPad Edge E530 series is an island keyboard with Large and separate keys so that it completely covers the width of the device. The keys have a good threshold and depth and provide users with a pleasant typing experience. As we said, the build quality of the device is very high, and for this reason, the keyboard surface and the hand rest can easily withstand the small blows created during daily use. There is also a separate numeric section (Numpad) on the right side of the keyboard. Unfortunately, the ThinkPad Edge E530 keyboard is not backlit.

Right below the Space key is the device's large touchpad. The surface of the touchpad has a granular texture and is very sensitive. In addition, it fully supports multi-touch commands. Like the ThinkPad Edge E520, the three keys G, H, and B have a built-in trackpad, and two corresponding keys are located on top of the touchpad. The performance of the trackpad is almost perfect, and we prefer working with it to the touchpad.

Hardware and Performance

The ThinkPad Edge E530 series uses an Intel Core i3-3rd processor. RAM is also between 4 and 8 GB in different models, which is quite suitable for running several programs at the same time. In terms of graphics processing, the ThinkPad Edge E530 series uses Intel HD graphics processors. Naturally, for those who want to do heavy graphics work with their notebooks or are interested in playing computer games, it is better to buy models that use separate graphics cards.

All in all, the ThinkPad Edge E530 series can provide users with a very smooth user interface and a pleasant work experience. The ThinkPad Edge E530 series cooling system is very well designed. When there is no heavy computational load on the device, the body surface is perfectly cool and the fans do not make much noise. Even in Full Load mode, when the device is doing heavy calculations, the notebook body remains at the right temperature and the sound of the laughter system is not annoying.

ThinkPad Edge E530 Battery

The Edge 530 series uses a 6-cell battery. The capacity of this battery in different models is between 48 Up to 62 watts-hours. In any case, the batteries of these notebooks offer more or less the same performance. In the standard battery test, which includes Internet browsing via Wi-Fi with 50% screen brightness, you can expect between 3 and 4 hours of charging from these notebooks.

The hardware power of the device is quite satisfactory And the battery can power this system well. The design and build quality of the product is beyond most notebooks in this price range. Add to all that a good keyboard, trackpad and touchpad, high-brightness matte screen, and full ports.
