ThinkPad SL Series 

The ThinkPad SL Series offers a great balance between serious business computing and powerful multimedia functions.

These laptops include a full suite of business-grade technologies that rival the competition for features, portability, and price. A new progressive and industrial design houses multimedia and presentation capabilities, reliable wireless options, and industry-leading security. In short, the SL Series is the ideal combination for a wide range of business professionals from sales reps, road warrior executives, behind-the-scenes desk jockeys and anyone wanting best-in-class technology.

The SL Series directly addresses the needs of the SMB market, which (according to the IDC) is the largest — and fastest-growing — commercial market segment for laptops. Powered by Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology, SL Series laptops allow business users to stay mobile and productive longer than ever before. Lenovo understands that the success of many small businesses is highly dependent on the reliability of their PCs. The SL Series offers SMBs the superior durability and rock-solid reliability that made the ThinkPad brand famous.

The traditional black and businesslike ThinkPad exterior is updated with a matte black finish to give it a more contemporary and personalized look for up-and-coming small businesses. But ThinkPad quality and attention to detail remain to deliver a robust computing experience.

Additional ThinkPad SL Series features include:

• An optional, integrated 2.0 MP Webcam that allows SMB customers to pursue the latest trends in productivity and business networking, as work can now get done from anywhere and with anyone
• A widescreen, 16:9 viewing panel takes advantage of current cinematic landscaping, allowing the user to experience the latest DVD format and view complex spreadsheets
• A suite of Lenovo CareSM Tools with one-button support prominently featured on the keyboard for quick access to a set of Lenovo-unique, self-recovery tools to help users diagnose, prevent, and if necessary, recover from a virus or other software crash

Even though small business owners don’t run a large enterprise, they still need a powerful laptop. What’s more, they need a laptop that best fits the needs of their business and personal lives. Fortunately, the ThinkPad SL Series offers a great balance between serious business computing and powerful multimedia function. In essence, it’s the perfect complement to an SMB customer’s business side and fun side. When work is done and users are ready for some fun at home, so is the SL Series. It’s a multimedia powerhouse that provides outstanding HD entertainment. A DVD-recordable drive lets users experience playback DVDs with awesome Intel® High Definition Audio and Dolby® Surround Sound. And by using the HDMI interface, these small business laptops create an unbelievable big screen experience.
