Lenovo 3000 V100

Lenovo 3000 V100
Front Angle CD and Keyboard

review

By Cisco Cheng

Within a three-month time span, Lenovo has launched three notebooks under its own brand: the Lenovo 3000 C100, the N100, and now the newest, the V100, the lightest of the three. With a 12-inch widescreen and an extended 56-Wh six-cell battery, the 4.4-pound V100 is a borderline ultraportable; and at just $1,649 direct, it's one of the more affordable lightweights in this weight class.
