The ThinkPad Edge 11 weighs 1.5kg and the measurements are 2.6x28.5x11.9 cm. There is a protrusion on the back edge which takes it away from a uniformly rectangular format because of the the jutting out 6-cell battery. This battery delivered well, It managed close to 4 hours of movie playback and a similar length of working time with constant Wi-Fi use.

The Edge 11 is the smallest and lightest laptop in the Edge range. This is that laptop's logical successor of the X100e.
