“Since we unveiled the new line of Lenovo IdeaPad notebooks in January, we’ve added several new relationships, helping expand our strategy to reach new customers through online retailers, or ‘e-tailers’, the fastest growing consumer purchasing space, and regional and national retailers,” said Scott DiValerio, president, Americas, and senior vice president, Lenovo Group. “We’re confident the much-anticipated IdeaPad U110 notebook will give customers a unique and rewarding computing experience, helping them record, share and transform their ideas.”
