“The new IdeaPad U Series laptops from Lenovo provide style mavens everything they need in a slender, mobile and super chic package,” said Yao Yingjia, vice president, Innovation Design Center, Lenovo. “The U300s, U300 and U400 laptops are the perfect luxury accessory this season, liberating consumers on the go to combine productivity and entertainment in one stylish device.”

“People will be wowed with the new U Series systems from Lenovo that combine incredible performance in beautiful and stylish designs,” said Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of Intel’s PC Client Group. “Powered by our 2nd Gen Core processors, this system will deliver great capabilities with a wonderful user experience and long battery life that people increasingly want. We’re particularly excited by Lenovo’s innovation and as one of the leading time to market partners in the new ultrabook category with the U300s device that combines a no-compromise, must-have mobile experience with performance, security, responsiveness and style.”

IdeaPad U300s Ultrabook
The spectacularly slim U300s Ultrabook™, made possible with Intel, is a unique statement for consumers that equally value style and responsiveness. Featuring up to 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, and boot up in as little as 10 seconds with Enhanced Experience 2.0 RapidDrive SSD technology1, the U300s is ready to roll no matter what the task. The U300s has a 13.3" ultra-slim 16:9 widescreen HD display, 4GB DDR3 memory and up to 256GB of SSD storage.

At just 0.6 inches (14.9mm) thick2, the U300s is built from a single-piece aluminum shell to create a sleek and lightweight product weighing in at less than three pounds. Available in Graphite Grey or limited-edition Clementine Orange – the trendy colors have been applied through an electrolytic process, and sandblasted to create a perfect, scratch-resistant coating.

Other smart technologies include the one-of-a-kind Breathable Keyboard, an Intel® Advanced Cooling Technology that allows air to flow in through the keyboard and out of the sides and rear hinge. This design removes the need for vents on the underside of the notebook – making it ideal for long periods of use on your lap or even on a pillow!

Despite its ultra-slim design, with the Lenovo Long Life Battery, the U300s provides up to eight hours of productive use or an incredible 30 days on standby. And with Lenovo RapidCharge its battery can be charged to 50% capacity in just 30 minutes.
Also included is Bluetooth®, high-speed 802.11n Wi-Fi, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors, as well as an integrated 1.3M (720p HD) webcam.

IdeaPad U300 and U400 Ultraportable Laptops
