Best of CES Notebook: Lenovo IdeaPad U110
January 9th, 2008 by Mark Spoonauer
Sleek and smart, the IdeaPad U110 is one of Lenovo’s first notebooks made for consumers, and it packs an awful lot of innovation into a 2.3-pound package.
This 11-inch laptop makes securing your system simple with VeriFace Face Recognition, which leverages software in combination with the built-in camera to log you in and make passwords obsolete. The IdeaPad U110 also includes Dolby Home Theater technology for robust audio and optional solid state drive technology for the ultimate in performance and battery life.
It’s all wrapped up in a stylish textured design that features a red aluminum alloy top cover and cool touch-sensitive media controls. If you can do without a built-in optical drive, the Lenovo IdeaPad U110 has it all.

Pretty.
“Dolby” doesn’t necesarily equal “robust”. Have you listened to the available Lenovo Y410 and 510 models? One of the Y410 speakers doesn’t even point out the front grill. Pair that with known Vista codex issues using Windows MediaPlayer.

Hello! The new stylish 2.3 pound ultraportable 11″ Idea Pad U110 will not be available until April 2008. However www.lenovo.com states that you can purchase the 15.4″ IdeaPad Y510 and 17″ Y710 online or in store at Office Depot, Micro Center or Tiger Direct. These products really combine a unique look and feel with high functionality.

Penny, the laptops feature 5 speakers… that’s about 3 more than the competitors, and this enables true Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. For a laptop I’d say that’s robust.
