@tom; At Lenovo USA, you can't configure an IdeaPad (and I'm assuming that it will remain the same way for the U110), which means that you don't have the choice of XP unless you buy your own copy and want to go hunting for drivers.
IdeaPads are overpriced, IMO. Choosing an IdeaPad over a ThinkPad is like choosing style over substance. I would go with a T61p over an IdeaPad any day. If we're talking about an ultraportable, I'd go with an X61 or X300 over the U110.

IdeaPad has thinkpad's kick a$$ keyboard, that's a 1+ for me, too bad there is no trackpoint.
The specs looks very impressive, not a good comparison with Asus' eee.
I hope Lenovo keeps their promise in allowing buyers to upgrade to XP

I guess broke people don't have a choice.
