The Lenovo IdeaPad U300s is the first ultrabook from Lenovo. It is an intelligently designed Ultrabook with a quick CPU. It’s lightweight and maintains the same wafer-like thickness from front to back. It has a fast processor and a unique book-like sha...

The Helix is not a traditional ultrabook, but the twist-and-pull design of this convertible ultrabook gives you more portability than you will find anywhere else. The keyboard is sturdy, the display is full high definition with a brilliant picture and you...

If you're looking for a Windows laptop that looks like a MacBook Air, you've come to the right place. These systems are fast and full-featured, yet slim, light, and generally long on battery life. A few even sport solid-state drives, and some offer a...

It's easy to understand why the fledgling ultrabook market is exploding with new offerings from virtually all of the major players. The new class of notebooks, seemingly reinvented by Intel's vision (and a $300 million dollar marketing fund) are desig...
There's a lot to like about the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s and after using the machine for a while we really wanted to absolutely love it. Unfortunately, our tech geek lust started to wane a little after we got under the hood with this machine in our benchmark...

You’d have to actively be avoiding the tech media over the past several months not to have heard about Ultrabooks. Their coming has garnered a boatload of buzz, fueled in no small part by Intel’s $300 million fund to get hardware and software makers...

If you've been following laptops in recent months, you've likely heard the term "ultrabook" everywhere, especially in coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2012. An ultrabook is a very thin, light laptop that conforms to a set of Intel-specified...

The U300s delivers on the ultrabook promise of a take-anywhere laptop that doesn't compromise speed or battery life. But the Core i7 CPU and 256GB SSD in our test unit drives up the price too far for most users. Read More...

The single fan on the left side of the U300s remains on most of the time but is quiet and non-intrusive. At maximum speed, it develops a slight whine but continues to be ignorable. The notebook chassis itself remains co...

The IdeaPad U300s is a solid entry into the Ultrabook market; it's mostly successful but stumbles in a few noticeable areas. While I like the design, the chassis is too easy to flex, which leads to some concerns about long-term reliability. The screen is nothing special with barely adequate picture quality. Last but not least it lacks a media card reader. On the plus side, the U300s has a great k...

No matter which way you cut it, the U300s is a pricey laptop, though only moderately more so than the similarly configured competition. It's available in a slower, less capacious configuration with a Core i5-2457M CPU and a 128GB SSD for around £900...
