Lenovo N100

In 2005 Lenovo took over IBMs thinkpad business and have since continued to build their own branded PCs and Laptops that are aimed at a lower market, i.e. cheaper starting prices than previous IBM models, moving away from business users, more towards small business and personal users. This review is based on the Lenovo I have borrowed for a couple of months for a new Web project I'm working on. It belongs to a mate and I am reviewing it based upon my experience. This review will not contain comparisons with other Laptops. Thanks for your attention..... The first two things that struck me when ... more

I own a Lenovo 3000 N100 and use it daily for personal use. I also use a Dell Latitude D620 for work, but I will try not to compare them too much to each other in this review. I acquired the Lenovo after my previous Laptop (a Medion) died and couldn't be resurrected by the Insurance company - so I didn't actually go out and buy this one specifically. In actual fact, it is much better than my Medion, although this may be due to the passage of time and better technology. Technical Bits: The laptop has a Core Duo processor (I think mine is 1.7Ghz not 1.83 as listed in the header). It has 512MB ... more

I purchased this notebook after my old Fujitsu took a tumble down the stone steps outside my home 3 months ago, and I have to say that for the money, this is a great bit of kit.

Software included are 1 year subscription to Norton security suit, easy CD/DVD burner, lenovo support tools, soft-ex omnipass programme for fingerprint scanner. Diskeeper for defragmenting your hard drive and lots more. I ... more

I bought this laptop after a lot of deliberation over which model, which brand etc, that i considered over about a month. In the end, a lot of good reviews, and a great spec. fo rthe money made me go for this one. I Paid £536 on www.dabs.com, and is one of teh best value things i have ever bought. The build quality is amazing. The laptop looks nad feels like a much more expensive model; the cahssis is strong, and firm, and it makes you really have confidence in its quality. The 2 "Gadgets" the laptop has are both preactical and fun. The fingerprint reader is useful, as you can store all your ... more

After taking new Lenovo 3000 N100 Laptop from showroom, I hardly could use it for 2 hours. The hard disk ( I was surprised to see Lenovo using hard disk from another make) was giving no response. I took it to IBM service center next working day, the service center people asked me to leave it there and to pick it next day. Next day I went there to collect the laptop, but they told me they will have to replace the hard disk and they don't have a hard disk in their service center, they need more time, they will call me when my laptop will be fixed. I am a IT professional, after all these I can ... more
