LENOVO IDEAPAD U400 14 INCH LAPTOP NOW UP FOR ORDER

The 14 inch Lenovo Ideapad U400 thin and light laptop is now available for purchase in the US. The laptop has a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5-2430M processor, ATI Radeon HD6470M discrete graphics and a slot-loading DVD burner. The IdeaPad U400 has an aluminum case. It measures 0.9 inches in thickness and weighs 4.4 pounds. The 14 inch display has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.


Lenovo says that the laptop will get around 4 hours of battery life and that is hardly surprising. It has a standard voltage Core i5 processor which isn't very power efficient.

Other specifications include 1.3 MP webcam, WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth, 1 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 ports. There is an HDMI output port for transferring video to an external monitor. The laptop also supports Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi) technology. However, to use that feature, you will need a separately sold WiDi receiver.

Two models of this laptop are currently available from Amazon. The model with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive runs $850. The second model with 6GB of RAM and a 750GB hard drive runs $950.
