Lenovo Lenovo 3000 J115 7387 Tower w/Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz Processo

 

The Lenovo 3000 J115 comes only in a tower case with an appealing gray-green, flat plastic front panel that displays colorfully lit buttons; it reminded me of a German kitchen appliance. If you want a desktop or ultracompact Lenovo system, you'll have...

Attractive case front ; Keyboard has useful quick-launch keys

Bare-bones, off-the-rack case ; Integrated graphics models are VGA-only

Targeted at the small-business market, this system lacks the toolless chassis features of Lenovo's ThinkCentre models.

This minitower system has an attractive front panel, but the PC behind it has little of the innovative features found on other makers' systems.

Lenovo 3000 J115

 

My J115 review unit came with the base 2-GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ dual-core processor (you can upgrade to a faster X2 4200+ processor for an extra $150). However, the 3800+ processor (along with 1GB of system memory) is enough for just about all...

Sub-$1,000 price with widescreen monitor. Lenovo Care tools (aka ThinkVantage utilities). Lots of included software. Decent expansion space. Dual-core AMD X2 processor. Windows Vista Premium-ready

Some software is trialware and bloatware. No DVD burner. Only 90-day Norton Internet Security subscription. Could use a multimedia card reader

Looking for a little more than a basic PC, but want to keep it under $1,000 complete? Take a look at the Lenovo 3000 J115, a basic business PC that's grown up.

Lenovo 3000 J115 Desktop Computer

 

A better version of the entry-level home PC, with lots of expandability.

Decent performance for entry-level machine; reasonable price

Limited gaming performance; no FireWire ports

Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

The Machine Isn't the Problem!

I just read the post above in which another user blames the Lenovo 3000 J115 for slow performance. I bought my machine about a year and a half ago for less than 600 dollars from an Office Depot location, and I insisted it come loaded with Windows XP. ...

Responding to "Decent I guess"

 

One reason computers tend to be bogged down with what most people agree are totally unnecessary startup program is because, in order to lower the price of the PC, the manufacturer gets compensated by, say, the antivirus company.

Decent I guess

 

It's amazing that in 2007 computers like this are still bogged down with unnecessary fluff programs at the startup. Having only 1 stick of 512 in single channel just compounds this. I replaced the memory with 2 sticks of 512 from Crucial and disabled...

Worked right out of the box. Very quiet

Dual-channel capable but only on stick of 512 is installed. Couple that with the fact that it's running Vista and Lenovo saw fit to have a boat load of bs in the startup then you have a very slow computer

Good machine, add vid and Ram

 

Tech support great: the old IBM support network.

1GB ram fills one slot, double the ram for little$. After adding vid card, system was very nice for the price. Lenovo will sell you an XP pro downgrade recovery cd set. Have 4 of these machines running on xp pro and 1 on vista. The vista is interesting...

Vista Home Premium, of course
