Lenovo 3000 C100 notebook offers good value

The £599 Lenovo 3000 C100 notebook offers a great suite of dummy-proof productivity tools that help keep the notebook in optimal operating condition without any intervention from the user. The one-button system recovery makes light the threat of a possible virus or malware attack. Unfortunately, the C100 lacks the functionality and design of a ThinkPad. The screen offers below average performance and there might not be enough power to make it obsolete-proof for at least a year.
