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, ...

On tap here: fast performance, a tasteful design and the best keyboard / trackpad we've yet seen on an Ultrabook. It's too bad, then, that at this price it's missing key features like a memory card slot, higher-res display and backlit keyboard....
Abstract: The IdeaPad U300s is Lenovo's first ultrabook. In fact it's one of the first ultrabooks on the market, period. We took a look at the Asus Zenbook UX31 ultrabook last week, and the Acer Aspire S3 rounds out the first runners. Intel came up with the ultrabo...

Lenovo's IdeaPad U300s is the coolest-looking of the new generation of Ultrabook laptops, and packs in a large SSD drive, USB 3.0, and more.
