Lenovo laptops produce fashionable thin nan-brained I5 this year. If closed, as thin as 0.71-inch laptop is even similar to an agenda book.

For information, 12.5 inch HD screen this laptop is already equipped with anti-glare feature. Video out is also available via option VGA port and HDMI output.

One thing that is interesting from a laptop this thin body is diusungnya unibody design. Right at the bottom of the body of the laptop, users will see a carved design neatness Lenovo. Do not be surprised if the battery could not find an opening this IdeaPad U260. Since Lenovo has designed them in such a way.

Moved in part in U260, soft leather design that is in the bottom of the keyboard chicletnya. How could I not, though exposed to heat from the bottom of the keyboard is quite comfortable leather palms while sticking in there.

Touchpad and click buttons still taste the same as other IdeaPad series. Quite soft and not rude. At the bottom of the keyboard is also not much variety of stickers plastered, only the logo Intel Core i5 and Windows 7.

The size of the keyboard quite relieved and not hot when used for typing, with the distance that still tersisia in the upper left and right.

Talking about HD video content, it turns out this laptop powerful enough when asked to watch a movie HD 1080p resolution.

If performance videos are qualified, whether this also applies to audio? Apparently not. Lenovo Ideapad U260 has a fairly poor quality speakers. When used in play format. Mp3, sound from the speakers sounded shrill and too excessive in the treble. Users must use external speakers for not ilfil.

One thing is very unfortunate, this laptop was not equipped with 6-cell battery. As a result with the 4-cellnya, thin laptop is only able to be used for playing games DOTA no more than two hours, with maximum volume and brightness setting 100 percent.
