Lenovo is packing its products with goodies and charging less than other PC brands, especially in a new series of computers called Lenovo 3000. Launched in February, the 3000s are an amalgam of Lenovo and IBM design and technology. The desktops are based on a Chinese product that features a one-button fix-it process to restore virus-damaged systems. They also feature ThinkPad-quality keyboards--all at a very reasonable $349. In comparison with other major brands, Lenovo notebooks ranked...
