LENOVO’S super svelte Ideapad U110 is about as fleshy as ultra portable laptops get. Between the fire-engine-red lid and the rugged rubbery base, the Idea Pad U110 is a bona fide Macbook Air rival.
It weights 2.9 pounds with its seven-cell battery in place, and measures 10.8 inches by 7.7 inches by 0.72inch. It’s powerful for an ultraportable, with a 1.6 GHz Intel L7500 Core 2 Duo CPU and 2 GB of RAM, but in worldBench 6 tests it earned a so-so 65.
The 120 GB hard drive spins at a poky 4200 rpm, but the U110’s battery life was decent :4 hours,38 minutes. It offers three USB 2.0ports and one FireWire port,PC express and SD Card slots, an Ethernet jack, and VGA out. On a laptop with an 11.1 inch screen at 1366 by 768 resolution, you might expect a small keyboard with tiny buttons. But for an ultraportable, the U110 has huge keys. Though the wide, flat keys took some getting used to, I had no trouble tapping out this review.
Alas, it’s a fingerprint magnet and glossy coating creates an annoying glare.
Despite its flaws, the IdeaPad U110 deserves praise as an intriguing, stylish laptop, But considering how hard the screen is to see in some conditions, the price $1900 is hard to justify.
