Lenovo C200 Review

Compared to Lenovo C100, much of the new C200 laptop has been changed in the good sense of the word. The main thing is the fact that it is much faster, and on par with the majority of new laptops. However, I don’t understand why the old C100 models all had an 8 cell battery, and the new C200 is only a 6 cell. This notebook is very sleek and rounded in spots, all black, with a stronger build latching system. The SD card slot and the optical drive placement have been improved for a more pleasant feel and usability.
Th screen is one of the not so strong features when it comes to laptop shopping: the viewing angle and contrast is lacking compared to other screens on the market. Don’t be discouraged because colors and lighting are very uniform throughout the screen, making it very pleasant to look at from a front position. The speakers are just fine for basic things which don’t require strong bass. The Intel 5500 Core 2 Duo processor, clocked at 1.66GHz, offers fast performance for any program that runs on this laptop.
The keyboard is similar to the one on ThinkPad models. The keys have a good feel to them, and are easy to click, making no sound at all (and fan noise is also inaudible). The Lenovo C200 laptop is equipped with 4 USB ports spreaded across both sides of the laptop, a mini firewire port, VGA/S-video for external viewing, 10/100 Ethernet, and audio input/output ports. If you had a C100 before, you will notice that most of the ports have switched position, but are still just as easy to locate. Last but not the last, you’ll get 2.5-3 hours of use with screen at a mid brightness setting, and active web access through the wireless card.
