Lenovo today introduced new ThinkPad L Series laptops, designed for business, government and education customers. The ThinkPad L412 and L512 laptops will come with choice of Core i3 or i5 processors, Intel integrated or ATI Mobility Radeon graphics, up to 500GB hard drive, WiFi, Bluetooth and option 3G/4G wireless connectivity.

Expansion ports on the laptops are 4 USB, one eSATA/USB combo, DisplayPort and VGA. Both the laptops will also have Lenovo’s multitouch trackpad and they use Lenovo Enhanced Experience to offer up to 57 percent faster bootup and shutdown for Windows 7.

Lenovo claims that the laptops are the greenest on the market by integrating the highest amounts of post consumer recycled content. The 14-inch ThinkPad L412 and the 15-inch L512 will both have starting price of $649 when they ship in mid-May. However, for that price you will get Intel Celeron P4500 processor, 160GB hard drive and 1GB RAM. Price for a decently configured laptop with Core i3 or i5 processor will easily cross $800.
