Lenovo 3000 C100 ($999) is a capable value notebook for small businesses and home offices. The laptop is thick and weighs 6.3 pounds. A plastic, silver-coated lid, reminiscent of the titanium cover on the Lenovo ThinkPad Z60m, covers the c100's rough body. It's a look well-suited to its budget price. The 15-inch screen has a maximum resolution of 1,024-by-768, and it's bright enough for all types of work.
