LENOVO MAKES IT EASIER TO GO 13/04/2006

Following Lenovo’s laptop branding away from its IBM roots, the Lenovo 3000 N100 provides dual-core performance for small business users, with enhanced security features for even the most basic user. Available with a choice of single or dual-core processors, power can be configured to suit individual needs. For viewing spreadsheets and presentations when on the move, as well as watching widescreen DVDs, users have the choice of a 14.1-inch or 15.4-inch TFT screen. A range of services keep the system running at its best. Essential software updates can be automatically downloaded in the background when connected to the Internet, and a one-touch system restoration feature gets the laptop back on its feet in the event of a viral attack.

For increased business ability, a built-in fingerprint reader and microphone improve security and allow for recording notes on the move. Available now, pricing for the Lenovo 3000 N100 starts at £740 (inc. VAT). HP has entered the dual-core processor market with a range of machines, the most interesting of which is the Compaq nx9420 (£1291 inc. VAT).

The company is claiming that its new machine is designed for power users looking for the most robust laptop in its business line. This claim is boosted with the addition of the Intel Core Duo processor and 945 chipset, allowing simultaneous use of multiple applications to bring the best performance possible to a portable PC. The Core Duo T2400 (1.83GHz) is supported by 512MB memory and an 80GB hard drive. HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D protects data during normal use from shock and vibration while on the go.

Fitted with a 17-inch BrightView widescreen display and supported by the ATi Mobility Radeon x1600 graphics, this is as much a multimedia machine as a work tool and supports the full array of Compaq docking solutions.
