ThinkPad laptops are tested against 12 military-grade requirements and pass more than 200 durability tests. Additionally, the ports are reinforced with rubber bumpers to protect against damage to corners. The keyboard is water-resistant and houses mechanically-anchored keys to prevent restless little fingers from prying them off. Should an accident occur, this tough device is built to withstand bumps and drops from up to 3 feet / 90 cm—about the height of a school desk.

Starting at 1.36 kg / 2.99 lbs, the new ThinkPad 11e laptop is light enough to can get on with their day without feeling bogged down.
