If you've dreamed of owning an ultraportable but you blanch at the sight of the typical price tag, the Lenovo 3000 V200 is a happy compromise. It isn't as light or as sleek-looking as some models, but it is very nicely equipped for a reasonable price--so long as you don't need built-in mobile broadband.
The V200 starts at less than $1200, though our test unit cost $1550 (as of 9/12/07). The design is low-key but attractive, featuring a sloped front, a silver lid, and a dark keyboard. Except for very small arrow keys, typing is easy. Features include a built-in Webcam, a fingerprint reader, and an instant-on multimedia button that will play media without your having to boot Windows. The plentiful ports include three USB and one FireWire, and you get both an ExpressCard slot and a three-in-one media card slot.

The Lenovo 3000 V200 is an ultra-portable Windows Vista workhorse that costs less than a ThinkPad.
Lenovo has updated its ultra-portable laptops with the flagship 3000 V200. Sporting a 12.1in widescreen display (1280x800 native resolution) and based on Intel's ‘Santa Rosa' mobile platform, the silver-and-black V200 might just be the perfect highly-portable Windows-based system for cash-strapped small businesses.
Starting at just £940 inc VAT, Lenovo's 3000 V200 is the company's lightest (1.81kg) widescreen laptop to date. That doesn't mean to say it lacks some grunt under the hood. Right now you can opt for an Intel Core 2 Duo processor up to a T7300 (2GHz), up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 system memory, and a very accommodating 160GB (5400rpm) hard drive. The processors have Santa Rosa's 800MHz front-side bus, and are paired with an Intel GM965 chipset.

Lenovo's activity in the laptop market tends to be oriented more towards practicality than power. Its latest range expands on the business and home user sectors, the latter of which includes the new 3000 model from its V-series of machines. This is the top end of that particular range, attempting to combine a selection of powerful components and features in a slim and light ultraportable laptop, sporting a 12.1-inch 'VibrantView' display at resolutions up to 1280 x 800 pixels. This particular feature makes for a pretty good start, although in a similar way to Rock's X-black design and other high-gloss displays, there is a reflection issue in direct sunlight. We're prepared to pay the price though, as the screen offers an excellent degree of clarity and vibrancy that's emphasised by the pre-installed Microsoft Vista Business Edition's impressive aesthetics.

If you want the power and durability of a ThinkPad with a bit more style and sophistication, look no further than the Lenovo 3000 V200. This 4.4lb ultra-portable notebook sports everything a power user could want, including a luscious 12.1" widescreen display, Intel's newest chipset, and a top-shelf dual-core CPU. Throw in biometric security, Wireless N and Bluetooth, and one of the best keyboards we've ever touched, and it's easy to see why it has earned an Editor's Choice. It’s ultra-portable, ultra-powerful, and downright sexy. Lenovo is known for its ThinkPad line of notebooks, which are fantastic, but let’s be honest, a bit plain. To remedy this, Lenovo has crafted a new lineup of notebooks that do not share the ThinkPad brand, but include everything we love about them with added color, elegance, and style.

As the traditional work place environment continues to change, portability, reliability, connectivity and security are most important. Lenovo has addressed these issues with its latest Windows Vista-based computer. The company’s latest mobile computer is pitched squarely at the travelling business professional. Ultra-portable and sporting a dashing silver-and-black chassis, Lenovo’s 3000 V200 features a built-in optical drive, widescreen display and relatively robust multimedia features. It’s still not as well built or as feature-rich as the ThinkPad X-Series, but the 3000 V200 is an excellent machine if you can’t stretch your budget. The 3000 V200 is a nice machine for cash-strapped businesses who can’t afford a ThinkPad X60. But for those who aren’t infatuated with the Lenovo brand, there are better ultra-portables with better features from the likes of ASUS and Toshiba.

With so many laptops moving to the new Intel Centrino Duo platform (aka Santa Rosa), Lenovo cleverly positioned its latest ultraportable as a more budget-conscious version of the ThinkPad X60 (Vista). The Lenovo 3000 V200 is clever in the sense that it has two compelling features that people can't get with the ThinkPad X60 (Vista): a built-in DVD burner and a $1,399 starting price. In addition, its impressive processing parts make the V200 almost as fast as its ThinkPad siblings. The V200 doesn't look anything like a ThinkPad, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The V200's silver chassis is generic in many ways and doesn't have the sturdy magnesium alloy that surrounds the ThinkPad X60. But for a cash-strapped small business, looks probably aren't all that important. After all, it's what's inside that really counts.

Lenovo managed to produce a worthy upgrade to the V100 with the V200. While this budget-priced ultraportable is a little large compared to other notebooks in its class, the combination of features, performance and overall build quality make the V200 worth considering.

The good: Low price; high-end components; solid performance; comfortable keyboard; wide-aspect display; integrated optical drive; solid assortment of ports and connections, including media-card reader; fingerprint reader; robust system-management and help utility. The bad: Merely average battery life; one-year warranty inferior to some business models'; small touch pad and shallow mouse buttons; few dedicated multimedia controls. The bottom line: The well-appointed Lenovo 3000 V200 offers the latest components for a competitive price, making it a smart choice for small businesses in need of a portable but feature-packed laptop.

Though the V200 is of course not intended as a gaming notebook for 3D-performance, we ran 3DMark06 on the machine and found that it actually holds its own and compares with last generation low-end dedicated graphics solutions. Overall the initial take on the Lenovo V200 is very positive, but the honeymoon is only several hours old, so we'll be back in the coming weeks with a full rundown and review of this notebook -- stay tuned!

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.


T7300: Mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


12.10":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


79.75%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
