It's not very often that we come across hardware that is both good-looking and price-sensitive, so we’re more than happy to see Lenovo trying to change this. Don’t expect to see an ultrabook in the 300-400€ range just yet, but with...

The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is a well made Ultrabook with a premium casing and a unique, stylish design (no echoes of the MacBook Air here). It has a better than average keyboard, a very usable trackpad, good support tools and an attractive price. If...
