Lenovo is doing the Core 2 Duo dance with a refresh to its 3000
N100 notebook range. Intel officially announced Core
2 Duo processors for notebooks back in late August and update notebooks
have been slowly
trickling in. Lenovo's 3000 N100 will be now available with the full range
of Celeron-M and Core 2 Duo processors.
The 3000 N100 series notebooks can be equipped with either a
14” or 15.4” display and will also now include the option of 802.11n wireless
connectivity. The 15.4” models can be equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300
processor featuring either 64MB or 128MB of RAM. The notebooks also feature
Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, three USB 2.0 ports and an integrated fingerprint scanner.
Pricing for the 14” Lenovo 3000 N100 starts at $829 while
the 15.4” model starts at $899 with Core 2 Duo processors. There’s also a $100 mail-in
rebate currently available for the 3000 N100 series for additional savings.
