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."

I thought the article was maybe way out of date for a moment when I read this bit about these laptops,

"The C Series includes an Intel 915 GM Chipset with choice of either Pentium® M or Celeron® M processors."

and these bits about the desktops,

"The Lenovo J100 features a SiS® 661 Chipset with choice of either Pentium® 4 or Celeron D® processors."

"The Lenovo J105 features an AMD Socket 754 board with either AMD Sempron® or Athlon® processors."

WTF?! Why not Turions for the laptops, or Intel's new dual-cores? Why not hint at later models using dual-core Turions? And will the laptops have 17 inch screens? I couldn't see it, nor find it with search. Why 754 sockets for the desktops - why not 939's?

I'm sorry, but I have to say that I don't think too highly of these "new" models.
