Lenovo has slipped out details of a new IdeaPad that is aim to to take on the MacBook Air. The U260 has an 12.5-inch display and will be almost as thin and light as Macbook Air, weighing in at 3.04 pounds and with a design 0.71 inches thick at its deepest point. Performance is potentially faster with an ultra low-voltage Core i3 or i5. But the vuideo may only be Intel video bulit-in, not NVINDA like the Macbook AIr has.
The ultraportable will have only a standard 320GB rotating hard drive, and minimum of 4GB of RAM is. It will also sport Ethernet, HDMI and VGA along with two USB ports.
Lenovo is aiming for a more upscale design with an aluminum-magnesium alloy and metallic colors The stating price should be around $1000 but exact release time is currently unknown but should be soon.
