IdeaPad U series
The first laptop in the IdeaPad U series was the U110 launched in 2008 by Lenovo. Showcased at CES 2008, the laptop also launched the IdeaPad series itself, and received the Best of CES 2008 award. The IdeaPad U series was a line of Lenovo's consumer line of laptops, combining Lenovo's traditional engineering with design changes that were significantly different from ThinkPad products.
The IdeaPad U530 has a low-voltage 4th-Gen Core i7-4510U processor, a 2 GB Nvidia Geforce GT 730M graphics card, a 1080p display with a multi-touch pane. It includes Windows 8.1, 8 GB RAM and a 1 TB hybrid hard drive with a 16 GB mSATA SSD, 3 USB ports (one USB 3.0), HDMI and a multi-card reader, dual-band 802.11bgn, and as well as Bluetooth 4.0.
The machine is 5.07 lbs, 0.86 inches thick, and has between six and ten hours of battery life depending on usage. Other features include its backlit keyboard, Stereo speakers with Dolby Home Theater, and motion control.
The 2013 update adopted fourth generation Intel chips and saw the switch to Windows 8. Models launched that year included the IdeaPad U330p (Intel i5-4200U) and IdeaPad U430 Touch. A refresh of the 2012 model, the IdeaPad U410 was also released, with the touch enabled IdeaPad U410 Touch (Intel i5-3337U).
The IdeaPad U-series laptops released by Lenovo in 2011 were the U300s, U400, U550 and U460.
The U300s was described by Engadget as being "pared-down and tasteful". It was compared to the Macbook Air in terms of design since, like the Air, it was made from a single sheet of aluminum. Also, like the Air, the U300s was indicated to be susceptible to scratches, despite the fact that the metal had been sandblasted and anodized. Engadget also criticized the U300s for the lack of a memory card slot, stating that, "it's the only Ultrabook we know of that doesn't have a memory card slot."
The keyboard on the laptop received praise and was described as being sturdy and comfortable to type on. The glass touchpad was also received positively, with the reviewer stating that, "it has the best touchpad of any of the new Ultrabooks we've tested."
An innovation in the laptop, as described by Laptop Magazine, was the solid base plate. Air intake was designed to be through the keyboard, with two vents on the side handling expulsion of air.
