I did a review on the U160 with the i5-520 CPU for our german blog (cyberbloc.de) and figured out that its never running on the highest speed-step-mode. Opposite to the official sayings the CPU never does the 1.75GHz, instead its never stepping higher than 1,46GHz...same effect on some customers notebooks, no matter what benchmarktool you use. Lenovo Germany till now tell the customers to send it back as "broken"!
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.
