Not a bad price. What I'd love to see though is the C2S paired with ION, that would be one hell of an T'n'L/Ultraportable!]]>May 25th 2009 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/
Hmm... if only this comes to Canada too, that ultraportable looks as a pretty good goddamn deal!]]>May 25th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/
I read on Wikipedia that the intergrated Intel Graphics chips don't perform well for gaming. Anybody have an opinion?]]>May 25th 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/Which is a better performance chip, the Core 2 Solo or the Celeron Ultra low?]]>May 25th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/
1. ULV SU9400 1.4GHz or SU9600 1.6GHz Core 2 DUO (c'mon man.. 1.4 SOLO!? really!?!? you gotta be kidding me Acer's offering is better)
2. choose a different pattern for the lid (or remove it all together for a matte finish w/ logo)

Other then this, the only gripe I have left to address is that the keyboard area BETTER NOT BE WHITE!! (see Y series) Can't really tell from this angle, might be a silvery finish. Something similar to the Acer 3810t Timeline's Gun Metal finish would be nice. Besides that, definite purchase. That is if it makes it to the UK before August.

On a side note, it would've been awesome if this notebook came coupled with the 9400m/ION. Atleast a ULV processor would have made better use of it then an Atom which is the main bottleneck on ION based netbooks.]]>May 25th 2009 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/Jun 11th 2009 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 25th 2009 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/lenovo-gets-budget-friendly-with-ideapad-u350-g550-and-ideacent/May 26th 2009 12:13AM
