Lenovo continues to barrel into the PC market with sleek and stylish computers. This time, the focus is on thinness. Lenovo’s new IdeaPad U Series lineup of ultra mobile computers, which the company has dubbed “ultrabooks,” features the latest Intel Core processors and solid-state components. Are they the first real competitors to Apple’s MacBook Air lineup? Tech specs follow …

Three machines , the U300s, U300 and U400, are making their debut in Lenovo’s portfolio. The star of the show, however, is the U300s. Stuffed with up to 4GB of DD3, 256GB of SSD, a Core i7 CPU and a 13.3-inch screen, the .6-inch thick device is technically .08 inches slimmer than Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air. (But unlike the MacBook Air, the U300s doesn’t taper down to .1 inch.) As with all of Lenovo’s products, it comes with the Lenovo Windows Enhanced Experience for fast bootup and shutdown. Couple those specs with the aluminum body (much like Apple’s MacBook Air) and you have yourself a truly beautiful PC alternative to Apple’s ultra-thin fleet of computers. Lenovo promises eight hours of battery life with the U300s, which is one hour more than what Apple offers with its 13-inch counterpart.

Introducing the new MacBook Air, the most quick Mac in every way, status, and develop. It features all-ray storage, a Multi-Border trackpad, a sustained-enduring battery, a elevated-firmness flaunt, an Intel Insides 2 Duo processor, and NVIDIA graphics. All lining a unibody barnyard that’s spry, thin, and obstinate enough to control all your familiar tasks and then some, whether you’re on the day-bed, in a sermon lecture-hall, or at a colloquium. It’s mobility mastered.

Either the 11 or 13 inch. The only article missing, which was captivated away...the lighted keyboard. When a segment price this much, it should have this. I am surprised that Apple let it go in the interest of majority savings. I have already heard rumors that a 'new improved' model may already be in the works, which will have the lighted keyboard again. I presently have the last standard, a 2.13 powerful shape, and will be dependent on to it until the lighted keyboard 'new maquette' might under any circumstances be readily obtainable in stretch. I have had indubitably a few divers laptops, about 20, the close by several years. This beats them all, in my belief. There is one program I use which has not entered the now...and will not run on Mac programs. So I use the Bootcamp and all...
