Gorgeous design; lightweight, yet solid construction; sharp screen resolution; comfortable keyboard; ships with two batteries.
Lacks a built-in optical drive; glossy screen finish sometimes produces annoying reflections; piano finish on keyboard is prone to smudges; fixed configuration can't be customized; no WWAN option.

Years after chucking the IBM moniker, Lenovo has worked hard to produce a line of PCs that don't scream "boring business machine." While the ThinkPad series is essentially a roll call of austere black boxes, the IdeaPad set injects a little color and styl...
Charming good looks will attract the Lenovo faithful who are sick of looking funerary. Excellent business performance will shut up office critics of your "red PC (Harumph!)." Delightfully light and slim.
The keyboard, though pretty, is pretty flimsy. Terminator-style face recognition will give you the heebie-jeebies and make you torch all your Schwarzenegger flicks (Especially Batman and Robin). External DVD means one more gadget to tote.
If you think Lenovo can only make boring, brick-tank ThinkPads, think again. The company's new IdeaPad notebooks are its first foray into stylish, consumer-friendly notebooks,...
Very small and light; stylish; lots of great accessories; face recognition
Display is very grainy; keyboard is difficult to type on; no 80211.n capability

Great looks, Decent power under the hood, Decently Priced for an ultraportable, External Optical Drive, Nice extra's included, Appropriately priced for some
External Optical Drive, Uninspiring Sound output, Glossy surfaces attract dust / oil, For an ultraportable, it could use better battery life, Spendy for some
We include this score to help consumers easily identify normal components that compliment or hinder a systems performance
Lenovo's consumer-y ultraportable is rugged -- and different -- enough to earn a loyal following
Gorgeous, slim and sturdy design Good-sized keyboard
Overly reflective display
Despite its flaws, the IdeaPad U110 is an intriguing laptop. But considering how hard the screen is to see in some lighting conditions, make sure that it's worth the $1900 (as of May 30, 2008) asking price
Lenovo's supersvelte IdeaPad U110 is about as flashy as ultraportable laptops get. As on the IdeaPad Y510, Lenovo's glossy treatment creates an annoying amount of glare, even with the brightness control set all the way up. Despite its flaws, the...
We mainly know Lenovo for their line of ThinkPad notebooks, but consumers really do not like those laptops because of their plain styling. Luckily for consumers Lenovo has released a new line of notebooks called their IdeaPad series. We first got a look a...
External optical drive, Glossy design picks up smudges quickly, Keyboard a bit slippery, Weak speakers
The IdeaPad U110 has much more going for it than its artistic style and good looks, as its performance indicates. However, its closest competitor-the ASUS U2E (starting at $1,999)-features a built-in optical drive, a genuine leather casing, and a solid st...
After branching out into the consumer retail space with its new IdeaPad line, Lenovo is set to ship the littlest one of them all. Miniaturized to meet the needs of hard-core travelers, the IdeaPad U110 ($1,899 direct) weighs as little as 2.4 pounds (depen...
Sleek, Asian-inspired design. Trendy interior. Full-size keyboard. Very good feature set. Tops in performance in its weight class. Environmentally friendly.
External optical drive is bulky and can be imposing. Sluggish hard drive. A four-cell battery alone will not cut it for travel. Watch the Lenovo IdeaPad U110 Video Review!
There's a lot to brag about with the tiny Lenovo IdeaPad U110-and it does its magic without looking like a ThinkPad.
Lenovo took a long time to launch a consumer line, and although the U110 inherits little from the ThinkPad line, I really like the direction Lenovo has taken with the IdeaPads. And although Lenovo omitted an internal optical drive, the U110's list...
The Lenovo IdeaPad U110 is the latest addition to the IdeaPad family and has recently been garnering a lot of attention. Lenovo might be famous for the ThinkPad line of notebooks, but most average consumers don't find the traditional styling of the ThinkP...
Overall, the IdeaPad U110 is a nice notebook with an amazingly stylish design and reasonable performance in a small footprint. Consumers with some extra disposable income and a desire for an attractive laptop will be hard pressed to find a nicer overall c...
Although the IdeaPad U110 has a slower hard drive it actually fairs pretty well with this benchmark:PCMark05 benchmark results (higher scores are better)NotebookPCMark05 ScoreLenovo IdeaPad U110 (Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 @ 1.60GHz, Intel X3100)...
The Lenovo U110 IdeaPad is finally available albeit via online retailer J&R, retailing for $1,999 despite being not available for sale at the moment. If you had to choose between the U110, the Macbook Air and Lenovo's X300, which would you pick? Just a re...
