Final specifications for Lenovo's IdeaPad U110 revealed

Get ready, ultraportable fans -- here's the dirty details you've been demanding. Lenovo's IdeaPad U110, which becomes available in the US tomorrow in black and red -- is all set to start at $1,899 directly from Lenovo. Wondering what that'll net you? Here goes:

• Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 CPU (1.6GHz, 4MB, 800MHz)
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• 11.1-inch widescreen WXGA (1,366 x 768) LED-backlit panel
• Intel's GMA X3100 graphics set
• 120GB 4,200RPM hard drive
• 2GB of RAM
  
• dual-layer DVD writer (external)
• 1.3-megapixel camera
• 10/100 Ethernet, WiFi and optional Bluetooth
• 2.4-pounds with 4-cell battery
• Dimensions: 10.8- x 7.7- x 0.72- through 0.88-inches

You'll also get a 1-year warranty, a trio of USB 2.0 ports, FireWire / VGA sockets, a 6-in-1 multicard reader, Mini-PCIe / ExpressCard slots, audio in / out and a pair of stereo speakers. It should be noted that the 4-cell battery is only rated for 2-hours of use, while the rig can withstand up to 8-hours if the 7-cell Li-ion expansion pack is utilized, too. You may also notice a slew of retailers carrying a $1,999 model starting in mid-May -- those come stocked with 3GB of RAM versus the standard 2GB on the $1,899 model.

All I have to say here is: 2.4 lb. Laptop... SOLD!

Yeah, I read earlier reports that the screen was CCFL-backlit, so it is LED backlit like the other 11.1" WXGA Laptops, Asus U2E and Vaio TZ?

Lenovo is the bomb, I'm getting a IdeaPad Y510 (I won't mind the 1.6GhZ processor due to the fact that the first thing I will do will be install Ubuntu). My dad (works for IBM) has a T60 and my bro in college has a T61 Widescreen and it is pretty uber.

How come the price of the U110 is listed as 9999? Is it a mistake, or a sign showing that the laptop is not available for sales?

They are kind of missing the pint. The EEEPC is Ultraportable and cheap.
