Lenovo 3000 N100 – Powerful And Easy-Home System

Over a year ago thundered the news that IBM personal systems division sold to Chinese company Lenovo. And this winter the new owner has announced the first models of notebooks under its own brand, built “using the technology IBM”. In great detail the issue covered in the report on the announcement, here. It’s time to see what kind of laptop computers, and what they should use.

By the way, once again want to point out the “work” the Russian representative office of a large company – Lenovo inherited from IBM wonderful position consists in the fact that journalists should run for representation, and not vice versa. So the laptop once again had to take the distributor – a company that does not seem to be engaged in communication with the press.

As you may remember or have read at the February presentation was presented live model C100, the cheapest in the new line of Lenovo. Despite the good equipment, on closer inspection the model produced a painful impression of quality plastic and the body, as well as having several characteristics supercheap laptop, to suppose that the construction of specially worsened. Somewhat later, were presented and the model with higher positioning and, in particular, a multimedia series N100.

If you try to select any address details change from Lenovo.com on IBM.com. Lenovo website is made in blue tones, similar to the site IBM. In testing, I have repeatedly faced with the “legacy IBM”, and in places where it would seem, they can be easily corrected. The site is sufficiently “severe.” Choose a laptop is difficult – almost all of the descriptions and specifications nerusifitsirovanny, plus at IBM is rather complicated system, where it is very difficult to deduce just a table with the configurations of the various models.

For example, selecting notebook series 3000, we get on this page is already in the domain pc.ibm.com. Next, click “more”, we English-language description of the N100. By clicking “Watch Episode”, Go to the table with a brief description of models and prices in British pounds. IBM and Lenovo have two types of model numbers have tested the laptop it looks like a 0768-5hg, and the second – TY05HXX. On the laptop is written only the first, and on the site – only the second.

As a result, considerably suffer, I found out that the manufacturer directs this model for small business. N-Series, according to the information – reliable and performance notebook, addressed to professionals from small businesses. Stress, notebook-oriented business applications. It is emphasized multimedia, including: “Stereo speakers on either side of the keyboard, creating a more powerful and rich sound and increase the area of ​​audibility.”

Laptops theoretically sold in the same place and laptops thinkpad, repaired in the same service networks. The warranty period is 1 year.

It to a lot of people compare Apple macbook pro battery Apple Macbook Air as “the ultimate thin and light” and the ThinkPad X300 is a “no compromise light” here refers to the uncompromising performance, the existence of Apple Macbook Air interface less than , non-standard optical disk drive, memory card there, and many other battery change not regret, and the ThinkPad X300 is more comprehensive.

Light, is the beginning of thin ThinkPad X300 notebook to get the first impression, as is currently the lightest full-featured notebook 13 inches, really deserves. Whole transmission is still the appearance of the “black” appearance of the classic, although the machine has been monotonous black as main color, but it gives the feeling of losing fashion. Its powerful battery is litium ThinkPad x60 battery . The reason why such a thin and light ThinkPad X300 with its use of the material body has a great relationship, X300 using CFRP carbon fiber and glass fiber GFRP as top and bottom of the body material, to ensure a solid body of good control at the same time weight machine.

Thinkpad X300 battery using locking design, unlock the front left is located in the fuselage, one-handed opening and closing of the notebook some difficulties, but the benefits of this design is the security of the notebook have a good guarantee. Of course, there are less than each notebook, I use the X300  ThinkPad x61 battery for some time, found that the shaft resistance of a small notebook, so I do not know the design of the notebook, or more than the number of opening and closing of cause; In addition, the skin texture of the matte notebook region, if the user the situation in this touching and humid, it is easy to leave a mark, but it is very difficult to remove.

Thinkpad X300 interior design, in the whole extension of the ThinkPad is still the IBM traditional style, in the middle of the screen set up above the 1.3 million-pixel camera, the camera lights next to the keyboard, user-friendly to use in the dark. In the look down in the notebook inside of the two axes are the logo and the Lenovo logo X300.

Relatively rich interface X300 is a big selling point, many people give up Apple Macbook Air  ThinkPad r60 battery and X300 choose one of the major reasons is because this point. Although the X300 compared to the ordinary 13-inch notebook  interface or worse, but has been used to meet the day-to-day. The following is a notebook specific distribution of the interface.

In fact, the whole performance of X300 can only say that it is ordinary, Core 2 Duo L7100 processor frequency of only 1.2GHz as thinkpad X200 battery, but the application of the ordinary day-to-day, or enough. In fact, the hardware configuration of the X300′s biggest bright spot is the hard drive is equipped with, X300 uses SSD solid state hard drive, SSD solid state drive uses NAND flash memory, hard drive not have to worry about the collision of data loss, which greatly raised the hard disk data security.

Overall, this ThinkPad t60 battery notebook is remarkable, 13-inch thin frame, 1.33 kilograms of whole weight, the excellent performance of the hard drive, LED screen, said to be worthy of the ThinkPad family of a milestone for inspiron 6000. But there are also many places with some regret that the general processor performance, interface, or a little weak, especially the price of the current wetlands, or some to be prohibitive. The X300 is currently priced at 24,999 yuan, more suitable for high-end business users, especially for a portable notebook and endurance than the value of this part of users.
