User Reviews for Lenovo 3000 V200

  • Reviewed by:

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: This laptop has a good processor and plenty or RAM for anyone

    Weaknesses: This laptop looks and feels very cheap. Spend the extra money and purchase the thinkpad. If I could return it, I WOULD exchange-up.

    Overall Evaluation: I would say that overall you would be better off purchasing an HP businessclass notebook, or a Thinkpad. Though this has a 12" screen, the one inch border around the screen gives it the look/feel of a 14" loptop with only a smaller viewable area.

What You Should Know about the 3000 V200

Multitask and Not Bog Down

The more memory a PC has, the faster your programs run and the more windows you can work in simultaneously. Equipped with memory between 1GB and 3GB, this laptop should be able to handle just about any task you can throw at it without bogging down too much. For instance, if you're a multitasker and you'd like to burn a music CD in one window while watching your favorite DVD movie (for the umpteenth time) in another--while flipping between your inbox and your browser to work on your blog during the movie's boring parts--this laptop can manage it all without a hiccup.
