Introduction
For over a decade, IBM ThinkPads have been the gold-standard for laptop reliability, performance, and durability. Though IBM often eschewed the multimedia bonuses that made notebooks from Apple and Sony popular, the ThinkPad was always first-in-class when it came to business. The next time you're on a plane, take a moment to see which laptops are being used in the first class cabin — the majority will be IBM ThinkPads.
After Lenovo acquired IBM's consumer PC division in 2005, the company was careful to reassure ThinkPad-fans that their beloved laptop would continue to set the benchmark for business notebooks. However, in addition to continuing the "ThinkPad" line of notebooks, Lenovo has leveraged IBM's experience in developing their new value/consumer notebook brand: the "Lenovo 3000." With the Lenovo 3000 V100 Series (Lenovo V100 for short), their goal was to bring most of the world-class IBM ThinkPad technology and put it into a lightweight, consumer-friendly package. You know what? They succeeded.

The Lenovo V100 should definitely be at the top of your short list.
