The ThinkPad W520 notebook is engineered with Lenovo’s Enhanced Experience for Windows® 7, which means faster startup and shutdown time, along with increased productivity for business with new hardware and software innovations. The roll-cage protection, spill-resistant keyboard, ThinkVantage® Client Security Solution with integrated Fingerprint Reader® and Smartcard support are other innovative features that give these notebooks unmatched security.
