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...

Lenovo's IdeaPad U410 14in Ultrabook is available in a range of colours, from hot pink to aquamarine blue. Our review sample came in a more reserved graphite grey, so there should be something to suit all tastes. The case is a uniform thickness throug...
Dedicated graphics at a great price, but the screen quality and flex in the keyboard detract...

Long gone are the times when Windows based laptops were chunky black boxes with no real style. The success of Apples various portable systems saw manufacturers needing to compete with the desirability factor and while they did reasonably well, the Dell Ad...
With the U410 being an Ultrabook it has some notable design specifications imposed on it and the key item is thickness. This 21mm thich machine offers a portable size and the weight is well balanced. We noticed no quality issues with the finish and each p...

The Lenovo IdeaPad U410 incorporates some pretty cool ideas at a very cool price that won't break budgets. But can a slender, budget-oriented laptop perform well? Let's see. See also: Group test: what's the best ultrabook laptop? Lenovo IdeaPad U410: S...
Lenovo's IdeaPad U410 does a good job of being useful in most situations, if you aren't looking to do some hardcore gaming or DVD/CD burning. It's hard to complain about the little things when this system shows such a vast improvement over the Lenovo T...

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...
Great styling, good connectivity, sturdy...
Battery doesn't seem brilliant, quite heavy...
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...
Decent graphics for an Ultrabook, Good battery life, Keen price, Generous number of standardsized ports...

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...

When you're looking for a decent laptop then Lenovo is one of the brands to consider. The Chinese company that once took over IBM's Thinkpad product line is trying to get a foothold in the European market. They are bringing relatively big guns to accomp...
The Lenovo IdeaPad U410 is a very affordable Ultrabook. It will be difficult to find elsewhere an Ultrabook with a Core i7, 8 GB RAM and a 1 TB hard drive at a similar price. If you don't mind the weight, then this laptop is certainly an interesting opt...

The Lenovo IdeaPad U410 is the Chinese company's most mainstream Ultrabook yet and is an encouraging example of where the market is heading. Sure, there is plenty of room for super-skinny, super-slick, ultra-desirable machines with hefty price-tags, but t...

When we looked at Lenovo's IdeaPad U410 last year, it impressed us by offering an Ultrabook with dedicated graphics at a great price. The IdeaPad U410 Touch is an updated model of Lenovo's flagship ultraportable, and comes with a ten-point touchscreen alo...

We first crossed paths with the Lenovo IdeaPad U410 around this time last year, finding it to be a very tidy little package, even if it strained the Ultrabook name a little. Its mid-range price belied some rather useful specs, though, such as a dedicated...

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...

The Ultrabook is gaining traction by the day. Since the big introduction of the Intel-backed Ultrabook movement, the prices have gone down significantly to a level where an Ultrabook is accessible to the masses. The U410 Ultrabook from Lenovo was one of t...
The Lenovo IdeaPad U410 Ultrabook is certainly a looker, with a design language that mirrors that of the Macbook Pro but with funky colours. It's an Ultrabook, and a tough one at that too, one with a build quality that belies its price point.Unfortunately...
