Lenovo’s latest update on its U series IdeaPads is another addition to a line of notebooks that is advanced beyond everyday computing. The slightly heavy, at 4.4 lbs., IdeaPad U330 offers a number of Lenovo staples like facial recognition and touch sensitive controls. Taking a cue from Apple, the Ideapad builds on a number of feature popular with Mac users and combines them with some high-end specs that are sure to please the average business or pleasure laptop user.
With a $1,199 price tag, the U330 packs a punch supported by the P7350 Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2 GHz. With 2 GB of built-in RAM, that means a fast laptop that can handle everything the Net can trhow it’s way. Beyond that, the graphic card options, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450, which allows for a bit of gaming and high-end display work, and the Intel GMA 4500MHD, which allows for battery-saving, offer a great setup.
Even with that graphics switching, the U330 has some reported battery-life problems. But, for light work use, this semi-ultra-portable is a good bet.
Both Laptop Magazine and Notebook Review give the U330 high marks for being what it is at a below $2,000 price point.

Hi there, thanks for visitin, yes, the missing DVD may not be a super big problem as there are software like Virtual CD to emulate your CD/DVDs and not having a DVD drive might save you couple pounds.
