As a MacBook Pro owner, and yet a fan of the ThinkPad range since the early IBM days, it would be easy for me to assume Lenovo's new IdeaPad U410 Ultrabook fills the gap as the ultimate middle ground model. Indeed, it's a ThinkPad descendant that looks...
If you want a decent bit of hardware at a not-unreasonable cost, then you might consider the IdeaPad U410. However, despite the good features like the SSD cache I, feel that Lenovo has not delivered on what it claims, specifically in the battery depar...

When Lenovo got in touch to see if we'd like to review a U410, it was pitched very much as a low-budget, but super-powerful laptop. The range, it was pointed out, starts at £600 for the 13-inch and £650 for the 14-inch model. Interesting, we thought...

A good all-rounder, we have a good feeling about this laptop, we liked using it and it looks the part. The battery life is a worry, and we think people will more than likely want to spend a little more, to get a thin and light ultrabook, but that doesn...

After the super-skinny Asus Zenbook Prime UX32A and Samsung Series 9 900X3B , Lenovo’s IdeaPad U410 seems decidedly portly. If you’ve used a recent unibody MacBook Pro you might find this notebook’s interior a little uncanny, too, as it takes quite a few...

Lenovo’s IdeaPad U410 may not have the immediate gob-smacking appeal of the slimmest Ultrabooks. But at £649 it’s also one of the cheaper options in its class. It doesn’t quite have the everyday performance of Core i5-equipped Ultrabooks, either, but co...

Lenovo has produced a really solid portable gaming machine, but it does feel like its focus on a strong GPU, RAM and hard drive have taken a toll elsewhere. The overall balance is definitely still in its favour, though. The final result may be more a lig...
