 Nearly Perfect Jul 25, 2011
By Patrick Mcmullen
"Patrick M."
This is my first PC in almost a decade, so the fact that I even purchased it over a Mac in the first place speaks volumes about this little computer. I've owned it for a little over a month now, so I think it would be fair to say I can assess its tru value at this point. I was impressed by the specs, looks, and size, and for the price (including free xbox with amazon student deal) it really can't be beat in the ultraportable market. I would recommend anyone considering a Sony, Apple, or Samsung ultraportable look into this model as well.I was looking for something this size and weight, with decent specs, but not a blazingly fast, top-of-the line performer. I'm used to the $2000 and up, upgraded Macbook Pros, so I know performance and reliability when I see it, and this thing meets my expectations and more.
Pros:
Perfect size and shape (same thickness and weight as 2010 Macbook Air)
Plenty fast and reliable (though not an i7, or 2011 MBA)
Great looks (I actually prefer the flat rounded-smooth shape and color instead of Macbook)
Very nice keys trackpad
Decent screen
Decent Webcam
Good software included (Good version of Windows 7 64-bit, Little bloatware)
Cons:
Keyboard not backlit (I still look at my keys sometimes, so typing in dark is hard)
No SD card slot (Not a dealbreaker obvuiously, but would have been nice)
Battery underwhelming (2.5 to 4 hours isn't bad, but competitors are getting 9 from a charge)
Unless you are a superuser, and you need gaming on the go, or video and music editing, this will be more than enough for you. If you want to be doing very processor intensive tasks, then ultraportable probably isn't your class anyway.

Light and good look, but a bit too slow Apr 06, 2011
By Chi Li
Pro: Love the design, and the screen is amazing. Very light.
Con: Only two USB, intergrated battery - hope it will not die on me soon, no SD card slot, a bit slow in time even with a i5 processor

 Great lightweight notebook BUT!!! Sep 19, 2011
By Tiong Guan Chng
got the Orange U260 .... 1st impression is that it is very lightweight, handy and the screen is very good. Speed is not exceptional but is adequate for its class. the keyboard felt really good and the system is really queit. I looked at the specs and was really good.
Here are the cons:
When I bought the system I read it could go up to 8gb! but the system I have only can stay at 4gb! it suppose to have 2 slots of memory! but after calling Lenova I found out that not all models have that! So! its a big Minus to me when I try to upgrade the memory .
Access to HD and memory is really difficult. since it is kind of a self contain unit and not able to change things out.
3rd issue is the battery cannot be easily change !have to pretty much strip the unit to get to it! if you do decide to have a spare! since the battery life on this unit is not impressive! rated at 4hr! but I am getting more like 3 hr max!
Overall! was a bit dissapointed with some of these items I mentioned! other than that! I loaded up Office 2007, Adobe Photoshop CS5, and even run some of my game well.

 Poor product and poor repair service Dec 20, 2011
By Kelly
I purchased this laptop 5 months ago. I loved the color and thinness of the laptop. At 33 days old, it would not start up at all and had to be sent in for repair. It was returned not properly functioning, so it had to be sent back. Now 4 months after that the hard drive has to be replaced again. I have purchased many brands of laptops and have never had any problems within the first 2 years. This laptop is awful and the customer service is worse. Please reconsider making this purchase. I had heard good things about Lenovo products, but I regret buying this laptop. I am already in the market for a new computer 5 months after my purchase because this product is too unreliable for a law student, and I am only certain of one thing my new laptop will not be a Lenovo.

A Notebook done right. Mar 06, 2011
By Tariq Gibran Hamid
As a longtime Apple PowerBook user(there are currently four in the house going back to 1998), the look, feel and build quality of this Lenovo is just right. In fact, I prefer many of it's qualities to the more current MacBooks. For one, the use of a matte screen is extremely welcome. Secondly, this notebook has superb ergonomics and a warm, tactile quality that is indeed very book-like - from the exterior metal covers and their soft, grippable texture to the leather-like palm-rest and silky smooth trackpad. The clever use of all these various materials and treatments to enhance the user experience is quite well done and the size and weight seem ideal. There is certainly an Apple-like attention to detail but I think the actual feel and look of this notebook is the polar opposite to that of current Mac's, which can come off as cold and sterile. Anyway, there are a few con's, as well as a few things that could have been executed just a little bit better. First up, the battery life is only about 3 hours. Combine the short battery life with the use of a standard HD (instead of a SSD) and I have to wonder just how much more battery life could have been achieved had Lenovo used a SSD. I also think the screen, while nice, could have been a little better with regard to viewing angle. For instance, it's nowhere near the quality of my ancient Powerbook G4 and it's Samsung-made screen, though, in fairness, no current Apple screen - matte or glossy - is that good either. The other cons come with the thin and light aspect I suppose. First, there are limited ports and there is no card reader. Secondly, upgrading this Notebook with, for instance, an SSD drive, or replacing the internal battery will require disassembly of the bottom half of the laptop. Overall, though, I believe this is one very nice notebook.
