After branching out into the consumer retail space with its new IdeaPad line, Lenovo is set to ship the littlest one of them all. Miniaturized to meet the needs of hard-core travelers, the IdeaPad U110 ($1,899 direct) weighs as little as 2.4 pounds (depending on configuration) and has an ensemble that screams multimedia. As you will see, it borrows next to nothing from its famed ThinkPad pedigree. And although Lenovo omitted an internal optical drive, the U110's list of features and performance parts easily holds its own against the Apple MacBook Air, the Toshiba Portégé R500 (SSD), and even against its own acclaimed sibling, the Lenovo ThinkPad X300.
