With a starting price of $949, the small-business-focused Lenovo 3000 N200 line is one of the best deals going if you want to buy a laptop built on Intel's latest processors and the new Centrino Duo platform.
Even our N200 review unit, which included a number of upgrades to bring its price to $1,599, costs less than a similarly configured HP Pavilion dv6500t, Gateway E-475M, and Toshiba Tecra A9.
Figuring there had to be a catch, we expected the lower-priced Lenovo 3000 N200 to drag behind those more expensive systems on our performance benchmarks -- but it largely held its own against the competition, with the exception of our 3D gaming benchmark, and it posted a lengthy battery life.
Lest home users be enticed by the N200's performance, we should point out that it lacks the full speakers, media controls, and other consumer-friendly features found on the HP and the Gateway, offering instead a fingerprint reader and a suite of support utilities designed to help business users maintain their systems.
