Lenovo 3000 C100

Lenovo 3000 C100

review

By Cisco Cheng

Lenovo has been sitting patiently, waiting to take the stage with its own brand of notebooks, but this is not the grand entrance I was anticipating. While the Lenovo 3000 C100 ($999) is a capable value notebook for small businesses and home offices, it doesn't distinguish itself from popular value offerings from Acer, Dell, or HP. If anything, it's less attractive.
