Engadget - When Lenovo took the wraps off its IdeaPad U310 and U410 at CES, we were left feeling happy / sad. On the one hand, we were dismayed by the half-hearted inclusion of a memory card slot, but the company did earn high marks for sticking to that sleek Ultrabook form factor and pricing the duo at a $700 entry point.
Pocket-Lint: Lenovo's range is taking full advantage of Windows 8's touch-enabled technology by updating its laptop ranges with touchscreens. The 13-inch IdeaPad U310 (alongside the 14-inch U410 not shown here), announced at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, is one such Ultrabook.
Engadget - For a while there, the march of Ultrabooks was comprised almost entirely of halo products: skinny, relatively expensive things designed to help Intel and its OEM partners make a good impression on the general laptop-buying public. But with 110-plus models in the pipeline, they can't all be expensive, right? By now, you may have noticed that Ultrabooks are starting to look a little less uniform: there have been larger ones, heavier ones, some with optical drives, some with discrete graphics.
PCWorld - The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 isn't the sexiest, sleekest Ultrabook out there, nor is it the most feature-packed. But it does come closer to what we expect an Ultrabook to be: attractive, light, and less than $800. The U310 comes in multiple colors, sports a third-generation Intel processor, and won't break the bank--what more do you need?
