Lenovo is branching out into the consumer retail PC market, showing a flair for design with its new line of IdeaPad notebooks--just in time for next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The first model, available beginning in January, is the IdeaPad Y510, a 15.4-inch wide-screen notebook. It comes in black, with a linenlike textured lid. The screen lacks a bezel, giving it a wider area for viewing, and above the keyboard is a touch pad that has different multimedia controls, depending on which application is being used. Other features include an integrated camera with facial-recognition software, Dolby sound with four speakers and a subwoofer, and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
The IdeaPad U110, the 11-inch wide-screen version of the notebook, comes in metallic red, weighs 2.3 pounds, and is 0.7-inch thick. The notebook comes with an additional battery and a 160GB hard drive or an optional solid state drive that will come in either 64GB or 80GB, which will be decided closer to the model's debut in late March.
Lenovo's consumer-friendly line also has a 17-inch model, called the Y710. It's more entertainment-oriented, with gaming controls and a slider control so gamers can overclock the PC. There's also an embedded secondary display near the keypad that can display information like CPU usage and music equalization. It comes with an optional Blu-ray Disc drive. The Y710 will be available later in January.
