The Chinese laptop manufacturer has always had a certain knack for creating very powerful and well-rounded ultraportables.
Lenovo ’s IdeaPad U260 interesting new chassis with a 12.5-inch screen, 3.04 pounds and 0.71-inches thick. Clearly aimed at the mobility without an optical drive, ULV Core i3/i5 processors, and the only option 4-cell battery. Some features are under threat, though, with only two USB 2.0 ports and an ExpressCard slot no. There are no details on the establishment of 4-cells, but Lenovo calls within 4 hours. There is only one SO-DIMM slot for memory cards, although there may be some RAM soldered directly to the motherboard for total 4GB system memory.
Rounding out the list of specifications is a Bluetooth, WiFi BGN, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD on each model. Being IdeaPad, you get a choice of colors in the form of Mocha Brown and Clementine Orange. I’m not so fond of brown, but orange can be harsh.
It should also be noted that the 12.5-inch HD-resolution display is available only in non-reflective finish, a nice change from the usual glossy displays only the consumer notebook. Video output via VGA and HDMI outputs, it’s nice to see two exits, Lenovo is not trying to cheap on this.
As for prices, we have no word just yet. Given the slim chassis, lightweight, and are composed entirely of magnesium alloy, aluminum, and it will not be bottom of the barrel machine. Add to Core i3 and i5, and this will be $ 1000 (USD) range.
