Lenovo 3000 N200

With lively performance, a fairly light weight, and several popular features, the Lenovo 3000 N200 would be a good business notebook, but its mediocre battery life won't please frequent travelers.

Big screen, Comfortable mouse buttons

Tinny-sounding stereo speakers, Slow-working volume buttons

The peppy Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop has nice features but mediocre battery life.

Lenovo N200 Review

The N200 is a very solid laptop with minimalistic design features. The basic silver paintjob and dark grey plastic inside don't automatically stick out from the crowd in terms of looks. Where it really shines is build quality, ease of upgrading, and...

Sturdy build quality and very easy to upgrade components ; Bright and Vibrant screen ; Comfortable Touchpad with great tactile feedback from the buttons ; ThinkPad style keyboard

Vertical viewing angles could be improved ; Cooling fan with ADHD

An odd power management quirk with this laptop is it gives no estimation of how much battery time you have left. It will show the percentage of charge left in the battery, but no countdown of time remaining. I noticed this in the Lenovo C200 as well

Review: The Lenovo 3000 N200

Lenovo garnered worldwide headlines with its higher-end, ThinkPad X300. The Test Center now looks at the value end of its product line, and reviews the Lenovo 3000 N200.

The bottom line: the Lenovo 2000 N200 is packed with features in a sleek design at a very low-cost price point. While its battery life and some accessories like the fingerprint reader could use improvement, and the bloatware should be dropped, the Test...

Lenovo 3000 N200 Laptop

Thanks to its solid performance and quality feature set, you might be able to overlook the Lenovo 3000 N200's complete lack of visual appeal.

Decent performance; gorgeous high-res screen; plenty of features

Bland styling; cheap-feeling construction; DVD playback in Media Center is problematic

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

Piece of crap.

Good laptop, but just not durable. Not recommended.

Works fine as a computer

Falls to pieces as soon as warranty expires. Hinges, keyboard, charger, just too flimsy in construction

Consumer review by: Eran_Afek (cnet.com)

Amazing performance, breathtaking screen

Great! Preformace+Visibility. For full productivity. No redundant games.

I have a 1680x1050 screen (15'4). The Lenovo N200-3000 has a truly amazing picture. The performance is also impressive (2.2GHz machine + 2GB RAM)

redundant fingerprint device. Keyboard is designed so that end/home need Function key hold
