product name rip-off !

/s]]>Aug 3rd 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/
Please note that this is the best x86 processor (performance/battery life) available anywhere.

It should be about 1.5x faster than a standard SU7300 when running at max output. And the average battery life should equal to the SU7300.

If this device is in anyway too hot, too slow or too thirsty ... then this is an error by Lenovo either software or internal hardware/designs.

This CULV processor was (and is) in high anticipation, I know because I've looked at its specifics. ]]>Aug 4th 2010 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/ *]]>Aug 3rd 2010 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/This is a solid product.

You should probably send whatever laptop you bought with 30 minutes of battery life back immediately.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/You mean the target audience for a 11" laptop? The whole point of an ultraportable is that it is small and light enough to take with you on the bus/train/plane. This also means that you need enough power to last the journey.
Students are also a good market, they want something they can do their work on without having to find a powerpoint between lectures. With a 3 hour battery life I would need to carry around 2 spare batteries to last me through a day of lectures.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/
@Tilduke You have a good point. Plus I thought that this was your standard 15" laptop. So yeah, I can understand that now, thank you for explaining.]]>Aug 8th 2010 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/True but to most people it looks like ASS.

It will not be on my shopping list.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/
The x201 comes with i7 as well I think?]]>Aug 3rd 2010 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/

GPU handles graphics
CPU handles everything else (including the graphics if you want)

Personally if I was split between the two I would choose a faster CPU over GPU because it would speed more aspects, increasing user experience.

But I'm smart enough to know that what I really want is a CPU that can deliver the highest performance available (640-UM) at the amount of battery life (6h) I need for its size (10"/5000mAh battery), and have switchable graphics to something beefy like ATi 5650 ... Bazinga!]]>Aug 4th 2010 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/
Really? Because the m11x is available with the same processor, for less money, with dedicated graphics. I'm pretty sure the top of the line m11x with 8GB of ram, a 256GB SSD, an Nvidia Geforce gt 335m, and the same core-i7 processor would be faster.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Aug 3rd 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/Sorry, I guess I didn't take the time to read the quote I was criticizing clearly enough.

I also would go for the X201, as it has the ThinkPad keyboard and the amazing trackpoint that I miss :(]]>Aug 3rd 2010 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/lenovo-ideapad-u160-review/
How is it on your U160's? Does anyone reach the full CPU-Power? Or did you maybe get the same problems? I think it could become a kind of a recall action if its a problem which hits the whole series.

Besides from that I have had the same critics on the U160 as joanna had. Mainly its build-quality disappointed me the most.]]>Aug 11th 2010 3:59AM
