The L420 comes with an humble black plastic exterior having a matte finish. In contrast to older ThinkPads the L420 doesn't look boxy due to its inward-cut sides and slightly sloped front. A fascinating design feature may be the loudspeakers situated inside the lid underneath the display most company notebook computers put loudspeakers underneath the palm relaxation or on each side from the keyboard.

Overall quality is fantastic despite its all-plastic exterior, the L420 feels solid. The plastic is thick and sturdy. The palm relaxation surface barely moves when pressed lower upon, which means there is outstanding support underneath. The chassis hardly bends when twisted through the corners, that is 1 other good indicator of the powerful internal frame.

The two metal display hinges are very well-situated to help the lid they are unmovable. Being all plastic, the display twists a bit a lot much more than I favor in addition, pushing in on the rear of the display causes some ripples on screen. This ought to become a non-problem presuming the notebook is not tossed around. People looking to upgrade the L420 will find out simple accessibility RAM, difficult disk, and wireless card simply take away the large primary panel in the base from the notebook.


The L420 comes with an above typical port choice to get a 14-inch notebook, such as DisplayPort, eSATA, also as an ExpressCard/54 slot. Furthermore, it consists of a docking station port in the base from the chassis. The L420 does not have USB three.. All image explanations remain to right.
