Abstract: Understated elegance married with decent performance, but the dim display sends it dropping down the rankings Unlike the rest of the Ultrabook crowd, there’s no way you could possibly accuse the IdeaPad U300s of being a MacBook Air clone.From the first...
The Lenovo U300 is a beautiful looking machine and at only 14mm thick and with a second generation i5 processor, it's a lovely Ultrabook. However, though a good attempt there are more complete machines, that offer more power, or a slightly better experien...

Good keyboard, Matte screen, Intel Core i5 power
Fiddly touchpad, Plain looks, Limited connections
The Lenovo IdeaPad U300S is a good ultra-portable laptop and the matte screen makes it ideal for working outside. However, if you’re looking for an Ultrabook to use as your main PC, it doesn’t offer any compelling reasons to choose it over the competi
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, a...
