Lenovo IdeaPad U110 gets reviewed

Much ink already has been spilled on the IdeaPad U110, Lenovo's relatively affordable entry into the world of ultraportable laptops. But what is the U110 like in the flesh? According to the folks at Gizmodo, not bad. They walked away impressed by the machine's light weight (half a pound lighter than the MacBook Air and only 0.4 lbs. heavier than the tiny Eee PC), its 11" LED-backlit WXGA display ("just right for comfortable multitasking") and its stylish good-looks. However, the machine was found to be a bit slow when running Vista and its VeriFace face recognition tech didn't quite work as advertised. Still, it was found to be a "fully-capable laptop that's extremely mobile," though it's still more expensive than the MacBook Air.
