interactions with devices and digital content,” said Peter Hortensius,
president, Product Group, and senior vice president, Lenovo. “We’ve
aggressively integrated touch across our consumer PCs so that we have
one of the largest portfolios of Windows 8 touch products available.”

the slim ThinkPad Edge E431 and E531 laptops feature improved graphics
options for more vivid content on their displays up to full HD and a
