Reviews of the Lenovo C300-3012 (Atom 230 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM, 640GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

CNET Review
The Good: Largest display among low-cost all-in-one computers.
The Bad: Standard budget PCs are four to eight times faster; weak audio output; no cost savings despite poor performance.
The Bottom Line: Don't let the 20-inch screen fool you. The Lenovo C300 is still a Nettop, and thus still not worth your money. With its terrible performance and limited convenience benefit, a true budget PC or a Netbook would be a wiser purchase.
