Lenovo's Atom-powered C100 is Cheap, Cheerful

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

We're fairly used to seeing cheap as chips Atom-based netbooks week in, week out so this offering from Lenovo is a nice change of scenery.

Following its launch of the ThinkPad X200 and T400s, the company has something a little more modest to offer those with little need for a full blown desktop. The company today announced the C100, an Atom-based all in one that boasts an 18.5-inch, 16:9 display with Intel's Atom 230 single core or the 330 dual core as well as a DVD burner/reader, 4 USB ports, GMA950 integrated graphics, 1 GB of RAM, a 160 GB (5400 RPM) hard drive. Top it all off with Windows XP and the starting price of $399 is almost too good to be true. Any takers? Let us know in the comments below!

I'd have the 330 model.

$399 for the single core? I'll take my business elsewhere.

Office use and net cafe is perfect for this - low power consumption, enough power to do your office and web things and be done with it.

Also good for the older generation who want to get online and whatever.

Do a 330-powered Ion version and I'm sold.

My netbook runs internet / documents / avi / etc all really well with a similar spec. Although the only reason to buy it instead of a netbook is for the larger screen size.
