Laptop Thoughts: A Quick Peek at the Lenovo U260

"Brad over at Liliputing spent some time getting a tour of the brand new 12.5-inch Lenovo IdeaPad U260 notebook that launched recently from a Lenovo rep – it certainly looks great and it’s very thin but that’s at the expense of the non-removable 4-cell battery that’s guaranteed to run out of juice pretty quickly (about 4 hours)."

Want to look classy while pecking away at your computer? The Lenovo U260 has a fine, book-like sheen to it and will surely make you look sophisticated at your local coffee shop. It is all about the styling with this laptop, though its squarish looks are bound to turn some people off. The full metal case looks shiny but scratches are bound to show up like a sore thumb, especially if the paint is skin deep. It does look a good ultra-lite laptop and with a Core i3 or i5 CPU, it is a step above netbooks which are similar in size.
