The Lenovo 3000 C100 doesn’t wear the ThinkPad badge, but make no mistake about it, ThinkPad design and quality is evident throughout. The most obvious feature being the keyboard, definitely the best of any system in this price range. The notebook also comes with Lenovo Care Tools that make owning and operating a C100 worry-free. The tools offer such things like single button access to system recovery tools, an automated critical software update application, and easy Internet connection setup.

The C100 is available for order starting February 23rd on the Lenovo site.
