This is the first non-Mac trackpad I've tried that is very good.

The lid is as thin as any I have ever seen on a laptop.

Lenovo is famous for its keyboards, and this one is very good.

The unibody aluminum construction is light but durable.

At only 2.9 pounds and half an inch the U300s is easy to carry in one hand.

This power brick can charge a dead U300s to a 50% charge in just 30 minutes, making it good for the road warrior. It is as thin as the laptop.

It is hard to believe this small power brick can charge a dead laptop to a 50% charge in just 30 minutes.
