Lenovo's 3000 C100 reviewed

So PC Mag took a long look at Lenovo's first line of non-ThinkPad branded laptops carrying their bespoke name, and decided that while apparently it bears some similarity (like the keyboard for example, or as one can easily tell, the hinge design), it's "decidedly not a ThinkPad." But hey, it's not supposed to be, right? If you're looking at a Lenovo, you're probably looking to go a little cheaper at the expense of some durability and size, which is exactly how the 3000 C100 works it. Still, for a laptop under $900 it boasts some goodies, like a 4-in-1 card reader, Media Center, FireWire, and dual-layer DVD burner -- not bad for a 15-incher, even if it is only XGA resolution.
