Lenovo is giving fans of professional laptop chic a treat today: in addition to shipping the ThinkPad Edge E431 and E531 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/06/lenovo-thinkpad-edge-e431-e531-onelink-dock/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), it's unveiling one more model, the ThinkPad S431. The new Ivy Bridge (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/31/intel-dual-core-ivy-bridge/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)-powered system is closer to the Edge S430 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/lenovo-announces-seven-laptops-for-small-businesses/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) in spirit, carrying a similar 0.8 inches thick chassis, an aluminum lid and a thin-bezel design that stuffs a 14-inch touchscreen into a small body. It does carry the newer Edge line's unifying OneLink connector and gesture-friendly touchpad, although the svelter profile also involves some sacrifices -- the S431 tops out at 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive, or about half what its peers can manage. The slimmer, touch-enabled design will also boost the asking price to $699 when the S431 ships in June, although the cost conscious can spring for the E431 and E531 today for a distinctly cheaper $599.
