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 ...
...explained gives about 90 mins. On the train into work I get more than enough power for the 40 minute journey. I would recomend Lenovo to anyone looking to buy a new laptop, although it is worth running comparisons as i'm not up in the world of competition. ...

Review of Lenovo N100

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 ...
...it: I do find the Lenovo is slightly slower to boot up than my Dell. This could be down to many factors, particular as the whole family has a log on and we have the fingerprint recognition turned on. The fingerprint scanner is a nice feature. It comes with some software that allows you to pre-fill known websites with your details (e.g. Ciao, Hotmail etc.) and every time you go to that website it asks you to scan your finger. One scan populates the ...

...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 only needed to charge the battery when I first took the notebook out of the box, there was a minimal amount of setting up IE giving the notebook a name etc, but it was not difficult to do, the onscreen instructions were foolproof. The lid of the notebook houses the integral web-cam ...
...are accessed by pressing the Lenovo Care button, or through the start menu, the help function is a very good source of info should you need it. The thing that impressed me the most, is how accessible the internal components are, for instance, I recently upgraded my memory to around 1 1/2 gig, and all I had to do was use open the small trapdoor underneath of the notebook and install the memory. There is also a door for the hard drive as well. All ...

Review of Lenovo N100

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 ...
...laptop has are both preactical and fun. The fingerprint reader is useful, as you can store all your passwords on it- for internet sites and such, which auto type in if you log in using your fingerprint. The reader hasn't failed me- it's very reliable. Also, the webcam is very useful aswell, as i don't need an extra one. I don't use it much, but having uit there is useful. The pictrue quality is similar to a £30-£40 webcam too.- Not bad for a feature ...

Review of Lenovo N100

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 ...
