Lenovo 3000 J105

Lenovo 3000 J105

review

The Lenovo 3000 J105 ($529 direct, without monitor) is the first Lenovo-branded desktop, not ThinkCentre-branded, to be sold in the U.S. It's an entry-level system built with the small-business user in mind. Even so it manages to exude a subtly pleasing consumer vibe, while maintaining its sober business demeanor. Best, though, is that it takes just five crisp $100 bills (and change) to net you a good PC for the home office.
