Since the introduction of Ultrabooks, Lenovo has been at the forefront of thin and light machines. We've seen it do well at both ends of the pricing scale with the Lenovo U410 and ThinkPad X1 Carbon , but those are both 14-inch machines. The IdeaPad U310...

Compared to the laptops you'll find it next to in a PC shop, it may be that the fun looks are all that can make the Lenovo IdeaPad U310 stand out. It's not any worse than its low-priced Ultrabook peers, and the keyboard is good for those who want to do a...

Rather than use the same wedge-shaped chassis many other manufacturers have opted for with their Ultrabooks, the Lenovo U310 is just 18mm thick all the way through, rather than tapering to a point. This makes room for extra ports, including an Ethernet...

Lenovo's IdeaPad U310 is the comany's first stab at a second generation Ivy Bridge Ultrabook. Not quite a direct refresh of the premium-positioned Lenovo U300S , the U310 is a budget/value option which sticks with a Core i5 processor, integrated graphics...

The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is far from an ideal Ultrabook, but in most cases it's good enough. Taking its relatively affordable price into account, this makes it worth considering if you're after a fairly stylish 13-inch ultraportable. However, its weight st...

If the Lenovo IdeaPad U410, which we reviewed earlier this week , is too large and heavy for you but you like it otherwise, then Lenovo has the perfect solution for you in the form of the IdeaPad U310. It has a smaller 13-inch screen and a lower price o...

Lenovo's IdeaPad U310 isn't the best Ultrabook we've seen: It isn't the lightest or the thinnest, it doesn't have the biggest screen or the best battery life, and its copycat MacBook Pro style doesn't make it the most attractive (though I suppose that'...
