  • Abstract:  Lenovo's IdeaPad U310 is the comany's first stab at a second generation Ivy Bridge Ultrabook. Not quite a direct refresh of the premium-positioned Lenovo U300S , the U310 is a budget/value option which sticks with a Core i5 processor, integrated graphics,...

  • good looking, sturdy, excellent keyboard and trackpad, good performances, decent speakers, runs fairly cool and quiet, good price
  • the screen is quite poor, subpar battery life, heavier than most competitors, some units have wireless issues (which can be fixed though)
  • With the IdeaPad U310, Lenovo shows that budget ultrabooks are not a myth and good 13.3 inch ultra-portable laptops cab be bought for about $700. Of course, the U310 still has its issues, but the overall package is good enough to make it my favorite cheap...

  • Decent screen, Above average typing experience, Colourful, Affordable
  • Doesn't excel, Keyboard flex, On the heavy side
  • The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is far from an ideal Ultrabook, but in most cases it's good enough. Taking its relatively affordable price into account, this makes it worth considering if you're after a fairly stylish 13-inch ultraportable. However, its weight st...

  • The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 doesn't really impress with its specifications. The performance is generally reasonable, but this Ultrabook is more focused on its unique look. If you're looking for a compact laptop in the colours blue or pink in combination wit...

  • Intel thirdgen Core i5 processor, Comfortable keyboard and mouse, 500GB of storage coupled with SSD cache, Easy on the wallet
  • Disappointingly quiet audio, Batterylife is decent, but not great
  • In the past, Lenovo's ultrabook products were designed to compete on quality rather than price, but the IdeaPad U310 brings all of the quality without the inflated price tag, offering a solid ultrabook competitor for considerably less than premium compe...

  • Lenovo's IdeaPad U310 isn't the best Ultrabook we've seen: It isn't the lightest or the thinnest, it doesn't have the biggest screen or the best battery life, and its copycat MacBook Pro style doesn't make it the most attractive (though I suppose that'...

  • Abstract:  For a while now, ultraportables have been the only class of laptop that really matters. Sure, you can find more powerful machines for less money. But the mix of portability, speed, and beauty—along with the miniature muscle of Intel's Ivy Bridge chi...

  • Abstract:  Lenovo IdeaPad U310 US$tba | lenovo.comAt just 18mm, the U310 is one of the thinnest Ultrabooks so far – and it doesn't resort to design cheats to get there. The latest IdeaPad shuns the tapering edges that Apple made popular, and makes no attempt to hide...

  • Abstract:  Finally, an ultrabook a sensible person with a realistic budget can love. The Lenovo Ideapad u310 succeeds the U300s, which is Lenovo's first attempt at making an ultrabook. The clamped book design is inherited (though there's no denying the MacBook-inspi...
