Lenovo laptops buying
guide and reviews.
The company that develops Lenovo laptops was founded in China in 1984 by Li Chuanzhi, he was with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Asia's largest PC manufacturer.
I thought it interesting what the name meant, "Le" is from Legend and "novo" is pseudo-Latin for "new". They came to the US to become one of the top two in consumer ratings having the best laptop in the industry.
Lenovo received an 8.2 rating from PC Magazine overall survey (linked), an 8.42 rating in reliability.
They are rated in PC Worlds top 10 power laptops. They have 2 laptops ranked in PC Worlds top 10 all-purpose laptops.
They are ranked #1, #2 and #3 in PC Worlds top 10 ultra portable laptops, incredible! The ThinkPad R61 was voted this past September, 2007, as the Top All Purpose Laptop by PC World.
These are the three Lenovo laptops models I will review here:
