Love those old fashioned beveled keys… a trackpoint would be nice.
Indeed, would love it to have trackpoint, never used one 🙂
Its great to see it has hard drive protection system like in Thinkpads.
U150 PICS – Lenovo seems to be updating their website live. The U150 is now on the US website with specs & pictures of black & red versions (sort of).
While the U150 does not show up in the Ideapad U series computers available for purchase, it does appear in the COMPARE and GALLERY tabs on their website, as well as some broken links. From Lenovo.com, select by hovering over the menus:
Home>Products>Laptops & netbooks>IdeaPad laptops>U series
Sounds like it’s coming soon . . .
