Lenovo's New PCs and Laptops
pimpimpim writes "WebWire is reporting that Lenovo has introduced their 3000 line, a budget line of PCs and notebooks." From the article: "Researchers, scientists and product design teams from China, Japan and the U.S. combined Lenovo's heritage in enterprise and consumer PC technology to design an optimal computing experience for small businesses. The Lenovo 3000 product line features several new desktop and notebook models with the latest processor technologies in a new silver chassis."

No Track Point?
I did miss the budget line bit, mea culpa, but that still doesn't mean they can't be using Turion 64 ML-28's and MT-28's, or Athlon 64 3200+'s (939pin) in the desktops.
Maybe not the dual-core Intel's, fair enough, but 17 inch screens shouldn't be ignored because the laptops are "budget models".
Why can't anyone seem to bring out a design that has a starting configuration that is "budget" but can be configured to match almost any high-end DTR on the market? Look at the size of the new laptops from Dell, and tell me you can't design a chassis that has low end parts as standard, but is customisable to have high end gear instead?
On the other hand, the desktops are probably not too difficult to rebuild.
