Lenovo 3000 V100 June 7th, 2006 | by Alan Dang
Full Review - Conclusion
Conclusion Despite its idiosyncrasies with the webcam software, and average battery-life for its class, the Lenovo V100 is still a very good ultra-portable notebook. It's lightweight, well-designed, and better yet, a relative bargain with a starting price of $1099. It truly brings the best of ThinkVantage Design to the consumer. This is the ideal notebook for someone who needs ThinkPad-quality during the workweek and the multimedia amenities of a consumer notebook on the weekend. With Dell-like pricing, ThinkPad-inspired design, and superb technical support, its hard to find a better notebook in its class. You certainly won't find a notebook with a better keyboard. Consider the Apple MacBook if you want Apple iLife/iWork software and can overlook the awkward keyboard and higher weight/size, the Dell XPS M1210 with the dedicated NVIDIA GeForce graphics if gaming is important to you, or the Sony SZ series if you've got the extra cash and want both dedicated GeForce graphics and ThinkPad-like features of TPM-based fingerprint security and active hard drive protection. Otherwise, the Lenovo V100 should definitely be at the top of your short list. Just make sure you remember to get the 6-cell battery. Pros: Cons:
