WILD SIDE, SENSIBLE COREEXPRESS YOURSELFRAW POWER
IdeaPad

It's about balance. With things like 3D technology, Dolby® and SRS® sound
and high-def graphics, you could go completely wild with our IdeaPad laptops.
But we're keeping an eye on the responsible things, too — OneKey® data security
and VeriFace® password login. After all, life is about balance, right?

IdeaPad

IdeaPad's stylish design makes these laptops ones to see and be seen with.

No two people are the same. We kept that in mind when we designed the first

IdeaPad laptops. Fact is, we wanted to give you options for expressing

yourself. You may look at a tribal tattoo pattern and see yourself. Or maybe

bold colors or a sleek metallic finish is more your speed. Choose

carefully — you will get noticed.

IdeaPad

Need a fast laptop? You got it — IdeaPad systems get their power from the latest processors.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology provides raw power and speed when you need it,
and more efficient performance when it suits you. Lenovo’s Enhanced Experience 2.0,
now with RapidDrive technology, uses SSD/HDD storage and advanced tuning so that select
laptops can boot in as little as 10 seconds. Serious technology so you can have fun.

The IdeaPad U300s is the thinnest, best looking laptop we've seen so far from Lenovo's consumer line and will surely be spoken of in the same breath as the Apple Macbook Air.

If there were one word to best describe the Lenovo IdeaPad U260 ultraportable laptop, it would have to be "swellegant".

[The U300s is] a laptop that deserves the moniker "Ultrabook".
