Lenovo IdeaPad U310It's hard to argue against an Ultrabook starting at just $599 with Ivy Bridge options. Not only does the notebook provide a decently built aluminum chassis, it even looks better than many and has an overall presentation that would sugge...
Attractive exterior, Enjoyable keyboard, Excellent bang for your buck
Doesn't excel in any metric besides value, High-pitched fan noise at idle
Lenovo hasn't broken the mold with the U310. Instead, they've followed the standard Ultrabook recipe. Low-voltage processor? Check. Slim profile? Of course. Attractive exterior? Yep. Long(ish) battery life? Also present. The laptop does, however, have ...

The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is an all-around decent ultrabook that's perfectly priced for back-to-school shoppers, but there are plenty of alternatives with nearly identically prices and features....
Abstract: For a while now, ultraportables have been the only class of laptop that really matters. Sure, you can find more powerful machines for less money. But the mix of portability, speed, and beauty—along with the miniature muscle of Intel's Ivy Bridge chi...
Abstract: Lenovo IdeaPad U310 US$tba | lenovo.comAt just 18mm, the U310 is one of the thinnest Ultrabooks so far – and it doesn't resort to design cheats to get there. The latest IdeaPad shuns the tapering edges that Apple made popular, and makes no attempt to hide...
