Lenovo IdeaPad U300s review

Look and Feel


Lenovo
The thing about the U300s is that it’s not trying to be sexy, per se. Your first clue might be that instead of tapering to a razor-thin point, all MacBook Air-like, it narrows only slightly, taking on the shape of a closed book. In fact, the lid and bottom side jut out a little farther than the edges — a design choice that evokes pages stuffed between two covers. While we can’t say that translates to any kind of ergonomic advantage when you’re gripping its 2.95-pound frame in one hand, this is indisputably an understated, carefully thought-out design.

But the U300 is also pared-down and tasteful where other Ultrabook makers (we’re looking at you, ASUS) perhaps went overboard. Like the Air, it’s fashioned out of a single piece of aluminum — a smooth sheet that blankets the lid, bottom, bezels and interior. Other than a small metal logo on the lid and four tiny feet on the bottom, it’s completely unadorned: no screws, no doors, no superfluous branding. Just a discreet, spun metal power button, a small, engraved IdeaPad logo, a sprawling trackpad and a bunch of perforated dots on the front edge that glow white when you turn on the machine and plug in the AC adapter. If you wanted to spice things up you could get the U300s in “Clementine Orange,” though we like it even in staid charcoal (“Graphite Gray,” officially).

Keyboard and trackpad

Though the U300’s keyboard doesn’t look any more promising than the other shallow, chiclet-style ‘boards we’ve seen on recent Ultrabooks, it’s obvious that Lenovo put its ThinkPad know-how to good use here. Now before you get too excited, we have to tell you that the keys have flat caps, and won’t mold to your fingertips the way a ThinkPad’s would. Still, as you’d expect from a Lenovo keyboard, it’s sturdy, well-spaced and cushy enough that you needn’t worry about whether you’re pressing the buttons hard enough. We’ve recently tested a lot of laptops with shallow keyboards that left our wrists tense — it takes work, after all, to make sure each and every key press registers. Here, our hands felt relaxed, and our fingers almost always hit the right keys — a feat, since the Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, Backspace and Enter buttons are all undersized.
