Where the Dell Vostro V130 -- a similar thin andlight laptop -- has an all-metal exterior, the Lenovo IdeaPad U260differs to include a slightly more trendy feel and look, alsoaffording the fashionable Sony VAIO S a run for its money.

The IdeaPad U260 is 0.7-inch thin andweighs only 1.35-kg -- that’s lesser as compared to the DellVostro, Sony VAIO S and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 still not the MacBook Air.Contempt its thin form factor, the Lenovo IdeaPad U260 is properlyconstruct.

Consideringcontents off the display outdoors, below direct sunlight isdisappointing. The IdeaPad U260’s display doesn’t tilt back acomplete much more and its considering angles are average, nothingout of the ordinary here. Reading text for expanded time is great,but watching movies or videos isn’t as good as a laptop with glossyscreen -- Dell Inspiron 15R, for example.
