Lenovo 3000 N100

Hi, was wondering if anyone here owns this model or 1 similar to it. Please tell me how you like yours - performance wise, any problems etc.? I'm planning to order 1 in about 2 weeks, really excited.

I read that this is geared more to small-business owners etc., but I really need 1 in time for January and couldn't seem to find a Thinkpad in the price-range of $11-1200 or less. Any suggestions? I'm sure this model will be fine tho, if I can't find any others. Thanks, Greg

I own one and I really like it. I'm impressed on how cool the machine actually runs. I have no compliants whatsoever.

 

Wow, that looks perfect. Thanks a lot, really. I'm gonna contact them soon, about payment options. Thanks, Greg

 

oops, I just noticed that it's not widescreen. I may need to keep looking. Thanks, Greg

I purchased the 14.1 widescreen and it has been more than adequate for my particular needs.

 

i got my lenovo 3000 n100 yesterday, my first impressions were it was a sleek looking silver machine, somewhat heavy though, on boot up too many start up items were being loaded so i disabled them after finding out what they meant, and if they were needed....im a bit dissapointed at the screen resolution, its a bit dull and the text display is somewhat faint...messed about with the setttings but still the same...removed norton and installed bitdefender and zonealrm...it is incredibly quiet for a heavy machine..generally it is great, you get a lot for your money

i just noticed that that the speakers are terrible..they sound like a cheap pair of headphones..pathetic speakers by ibm/lenovo....good machined ruined by cheaper headphone speakers...they sound "tinny"..no sign of any base..and not very loud..

 

I have had one for about 2 months now. It's a fine machine. Picks up wireless internet well, works fast. I find the screen and keyboard work well for me, except I wish the "control" key on the left were larger, like it was on my previous laptop. My overwhelming complaint is that the hard drive makes a high-pitched whirring sound almost constantly (goes on and off). Support wasn't very helpful about it. That's the only thing I would change. That and the speakers, actually. If you use headphones, though, the sound is really quite good.

 

then just wait til year end and it'll be in your price range. thinkpad T prices have dropped and will drop more later.
