Pros: Small, lightweight, but still has everything full size.
Cons: external floppy, speed, no USB yet on this model...
The Bottom Line: Get this notebook for $250 on ebay, and be sure that you only use it for surfing the web, and word processing

| yantop's Full Review: Lenovo ThinkPad 560 E (264040U) PC Notebook |
This is a very nice notebook the keyboard is awesome, the screen is nice and bright, and the tech support is excellent. The bad is that the floppy is external, it only has a pentium 166MMX which is not optimal for todays applications, and this model does not have a USB port, the 560X does. What does this mean? well it means that you should not buy this notebook for games, heavy desktop publishing, or anything else that needs a generous amount of power. On the other hand you can get one of these for about $250 on ebay which means that it is a perfect gift for a college student, or anyone that can use a portable unit to type papers, surf the web etc. This notebook also comes with a port replicator which is a nice touch when you get home and want to have it hooked up to your external keyboard and mouse. This notebook has the greatest keyboard on any portable.
