Una nga gipakita niadtong Disyembre 2010, ang Lenovo IdeaPad U260 mao ang unang ultraportable nga adunay talagsaon nga 12.5" display screen nga wala makita sa lain. Ug bisan pa nga ang Lenovo adunay ilang kaugalingong linya para sa 11.6" nga porma, nagtuo ko nga ang 12.5" usa ka espesyal nga pagbulag para sa ilang mas premium nga mga modelo.

Ang IdeaPad U260 nagdala ug ultra-mobile nga processor, usa ka Intel Core i5 470UM, nga nagdagan sa base nga 1.33GHz apan makapahimo og Turbo Boost hangtod 1.86GHz (uban sa 2 ka core ug 4 ka thread). Dili bati para sa usa ka nipis ug gaan nga laptop sama niini.

Lenovo IdeaPad U260
12.5″ nga display nga 16:9 nga ratio ug 1366×768 nga resolusyon sa pixel
Intel Core i5-470 UM @ 1.33 GHz (2 ka Core, 4 ka Thread, Turbo Boost 1.86GHz)
Intel HD Graphics
4GB DDR3 RAM
320GB SATA HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
HDMI port
2 x USB 2.0 port
GigaBit LAN
0.3MP webcam
Windows 7 Home Premium
4-cell Li-Po battery

Adunay kini nga sleek nga hitsura ug manipis nga porma nga usab kaayo gaan (tan-aw nga nipis ug gibati nga mas gaan kaysa kadaghanan sa 10-pulgadang netbooks, sa akong hunahuna) -- 0.71″ ra ka nipis ug nagbug-at lamang og 3.04lbs. Maayo nga matte nga tapusanan sa tanang dapit uban sa gamay nga edgy nga disenyo sa kolor nga golden brown.

Ang mga sulod usab classy nga ang tibuok nga mga palm-rests natabunan sa itom, sama sa panit nga padding. Sama sa kadaghanan nga ultraportable, ang unit wala’y optical drive. Ang pirma nga disenyo sa keyboard sa Lenovo anaa ug ang posisyon sa mga Ctrl ug Fn nga yawe anaa sa gustong han-ay.

Gisugyot nga retail nga presyo para sa Core i5 nga modelo kay Php51,990 samtang ang Core i3 nga variant kay Php44,990. Pareho kini nga magamit sa kolor nga mocha brown ug clementine orange.

Ashe · 15 years ago

really looks cool! no doubt about it. but id go with his Lenovo Cousin, Thinkpad X220

>http://www.thinkpadtoday.com/thinkpad-x220-and-x220-tablet-review-the-new-benchmark-for-ultraportables.htm<

which gives a little more kick! if your looking for a mid-high range laptop i could suggest that :)

Neil · 15 years ago

I wish they would stop using Intel HD Graphics. It has no saving grace. Poor performance and not energy efficient.

Jepoiski · 15 years ago

@yuga – sir do mention also that the touchpad is made up of glass and that it also supports multi touch. ;)

Jepoiski · 15 years ago

other than that, its one sexy beast altogether. it’s a headturner and can go toe to toe in the looks department with a mac. solid build.

Jepoiski · 15 years ago

i bought the i3 version last january. my only gripe is actually the battery life. on a normal charge it would last me three hours. for some this could be a deal breaker if you are after something that can go on for hours.

florencia · 15 years ago

I always wanted a lenovo without the red dot between the keys. I think this is it.

Jepoiski · 15 years ago

it does not have the red dot you are looking for. the ideapad line of lenovo does not have that red dot. its their thinkpad line that sports that feature.

Jepoiski · 15 years ago

my bad. i thought you said with hehehe. anyways yes this is it! its a sexy laptop altogether. got mine january of this year (i3 version). the battery though is something lenovo should have improved at. it lasts me under 3 hours when unplugged. could be a deal breaker for you if you are looking for something in the range of at least 5 hours.

A nice laptop, i should own one. http://iloveyou-mydear.blogspot.com/

pinoytechhub · 15 years ago

I am actually looking for a mid-range laptop and it looks like this is well suited to my needs – for my personal and office use.

adam · 15 years ago

Winziph · 15 years ago

John Ray is right, how about battery life?

John Ray Cabrera · 15 years ago

i wonder how long can the battery last knowing that it is just 4cell.

rob · 15 years ago

boybawang23 · 15 years ago

…and how about posting ip addresses here so that we can easily tell the trolls?

boybawang23 · 15 years ago

@marck
the jhay who posted here is a poser/troll. he is not the real jhay…

@sir yuga
you gotta do something to stop posers and trolls here because they can simply troll by using someone’s name.

Marck · 15 years ago

Ouch! no graphics card…

There’s go Jhay again tsk tsk tsk

Nice design! Give it a white-colored casing and it will look like a macbook-copied laptop :D Lenovo has been pretty competitive with its line of laptops recently; hope that our Pinoy-owned Neo would counter this with a comparable model (improve muna cguro sila sa customer service hehe :D)
