Lenovo C300 – another bargain nettop

Looks wise, it’s even better than those iMacs, but that is where its whole comparison ends. This 20-inch monster is powered by Intel Atom Z230 processor and comes with an array of ports.

You can equip this beast with a mammoth 640GB HDD and 3GB RAM. Unfortunately, with those specifications, you won’t be able to get Windows XP with it as Microsoft has a restriction for netbooks/nettops that they must not exceed the 160GB HDD and 1GB RAM limit.

Commentary: Although, it looks like an excellent package considering the fact that it costs just $450. But, you won’t be able to run those heavy CAD applications on it is has a pretty weak processor. Other than that, if you wanted a computer for your home to watch movies and surf the web, it is a great bang for the buck.
