Lenovo announces 3000 G-series notebook

Aimed at the budget market, the Lenovo G-series has a modest specification but is interesting in that it comes (in Malaysia where it was first launched, at least) with MS-DOS pre-installed and giving the user the option of installing Linux, Windows, OS X or any other operating system.

• Optical Drive: DVD burner
• Graphics: Intel X3100

Multiple configurationes will be available in the US shortly including an Intel Centrino 2 -equipped G430 model with Core 2 Duo processors.

Lenovo themselves say this about the models:

“The Lenovo 3000 G Series notebooks have a stylish form factor and impressive feature sets; offering a compelling choice for value-conscious users seeking performance at an affordable price and looking to make the transition from desktops to notebooks. The Slate notebook comes in a sleek black cover and boasts a 14.1″ WXGA high definition glossy widescreen display.
