Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
Affordable Ultrabook. Lenovo updates their sleek IdeaPad U300/U400 Ultrabook lineup with new Ivy Bridge-equipped IdeaPad U310/U410 models to take on the rest of 2012. Do the upgrades go beyond just the CPU and GPU changes?

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 review
Source: Techradar
Compared to the laptops you'll find it next to in a PC shop, it may be that the fun looks are all that can make the Lenovo IdeaPad U310 stand out. It's not any worse than its low-priced Ultrabook peers, and the keyboard is good for those who want to do a lot of typing on a small machine. For a 13-inch Ultrabook priced at £599/US$729 (around AU$912), it's perfectly acceptable. You'll get something a fair bit snappier if you can stretch to something like the Asus Zenbook UX32A, though.

Lenovo's IdeaPad U310 should have been one of the best Ultrabooks to date. Priced at under £650, it marries the capabilities of an Intel Core processor with the speed of a solid-state cache and delivers the responsiveness we've come to expect from a premium machine at a more palatable price. With a great keyboard, sturdy build quality and an attractive design, the U310 has almost all of the right ingredients.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310
Source: Digital Versus
Lenovo is taking on the ultrabook market with an Intel Core i3-carrying, 13.3-inch laptop priced aggressively at £499. The IdeaPad U310's mediocre screen automatically limits its overall score to 3 stars. But it has other problems, too: poor speakers, very low processing power and issues with the finishing. In the same price range, the Sony Vaio T13 is a better deal.

Small Business Notebook Review: IdeaPad U310 Ultrabook
Source: Small Business Computing
As a sleek and capable Ultrabook, the IdeaPad U310 should meet most small business needs. Battery life should last most of a working business day if you're not using it continuously. The keyboard's nice placement of keys works well for both reading and writing. With a retail price as reviewed of $799, you'll be hard pressed to find similarly configured Ultrabooks.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310: A More Affordable Ultrabook
Source: Hot Hardware
As a machine you would use for everyday school, home, or business productivity, the U310 offers solid performance at just under the sweet-spot price of $800. And if you're willing to go with an Intel Core i3 processor, you can pick up the ultrabook for as little as $750. If you have a bit more budget, the new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon or Dell Inspiron 14z both offer more robust performance and other component level upgrades as well.

Lenovo Ideapad U310 review – a proper budget ultrabook
Source: Ultrabook Review
With that in mind, you’re probably going to forget about the average screen, the heavier body and the sub-par battery life of the Lenovo U310. Of course, if you want these solved, you can get better ultrabooks than this one, for closer to one grand. With the IdeaPad U310, Lenovo shows that budget ultrabooks are not a myth and good 13.3 inch ultra-portable laptops cab be bought for about $700. Of course, the U310 still has its issues, but the overall package is good enough to make it my favorite cheap ultrabook right now.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is far from an ideal Ultrabook, but in most cases it’s good enough. Taking its relatively affordable price into account, this makes it worth considering if you’re after a fairly stylish 13-inch ultraportable. However, its weight stretches the limits of what an Ultrabook ought to be about, and means you should consider ‘ordinary’ 13-inch laptops too.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310

The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is a well made Ultrabook with a premium casing and a unique, stylish design (no echoes of the MacBook Air here). It has a better than average keyboard, a very usable trackpad, good support tools and an attractive price. If you're not entranced by SSD drives and their bump-immune robustness, the 500 gig conventional hard drive lets you carry lots of videos and other large files on the go.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 – Review
Source: Gadgetmix
The 46W battery lasted five hours in a WiFi-enabled video-looping test, which might not quite equal battery runtimes on many other Ultrabooks, but will certainly last a full day of moderate usage. The 720p webcam above the screen can be used for face-recognition log-in courtesy of VeriFace technology and image quality is fine for video calling.

In the past, Lenovo's ultrabook offerings were designed to compete on quality rather than price, but the IdeaPad U310 brings all of the quality without the inflated price tag, offering a solid ultrabook competitor for hundreds of dollars less than premium competitors, like the $1,499 Dell XPS 14 (Summer 2012). While the HP Folio 13-1020us holds on as the current Editors' Choice for ultrabooks for its lighter weight and longer battery life, the Lenovo IdeaPad U310 holds its own as a smart alternative.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 review: a reasonably priced Ultrabook for the masses
Source: Engadget
If you just read the comparison shopping section above, you know our reviews team is only just starting to scratch the surface of lower-priced Ultrabooks. That said, it would seem that the Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is a solid bet for the money: it's attractive (save for that glossy bezel), it offers a decent selection of ports and while the keyboard and trackpad aren't perfect, they still present an excellent alternative to what you'll find on many pricier machines.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 review
Source: PC Advisor
Lenovo's IdeaPad U310 isn't the best Ultrabook we've seen: It isn't the lightest or the thinnest, it doesn't have the biggest screen or the best battery life, and its copycat MacBook Pro style doesn't make it the most attractive (though I suppose that's arguable). In other words, this Ultrabook is just average. It performs well, as long as you're not looking to do anything fancy. It has loud, if sometimes thin, speakers. It has a good-looking but dim screen. And it has decent, but not great, battery life. At the end of the day, the U310 will most likely appeal to college students and other young, budget-minded shoppers, since it's cheaper than comparably stylish computers and it comes in bright, fun colours.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 ultrabook review
Source: Liliputing
The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is a good looking ultrabook with a reasonable price tag. It would be nice if it weighed a little less than 3.7 pounds, if it had a higher resolution screen, or a better keyboard. But you get what you pay for — and if what you want is a fast laptop that’s reasonably light and which won’t break the bank, you could do a lot worse than the IdeaPad U310.

Lenovo’s Winning IdeaPad Ultrabook Gets Upgraded to Ivy Bridge
Source: Wired Magazine
The U310 isn’t without some drawbacks, though, the biggest of which is some apparent binging that now has the laptop topping the scales at a beastly 3.6 pounds, versus 2.9 pounds for the U300s. (The switch from SSD to HDD is responsible for only a tiny fraction of that.) Once a competitor on the weight front, the U310 is suddenly one of the heaviest 13.3-inch ultrabooks on the market. And while the metal shell makes it impressively sturdy on the whole, I was far from thrilled with the plastic bezel surrounding the LCD. A fingernail will easily pry this flimsy piece up, and I’m concerned that these bezels coming off will eventually be a big problem for U310 owners.

The ultrabook revolution of 2011 has become a deluge in 2012, which means one thing: lower prices.

The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is an all-around decent ultrabook that's perfectly priced for back-to-school shoppers, but there are plenty of alternatives with nearly identically prices and features.

If the Lenovo IdeaPad U310's score of four and a half stars and our Editors' Choice laurels give you déjà vu, that's because it has a lot in common with Sony's new VAIO T Series. Both are $800 ultrabooks with the same Core i5 processor, 500GB hard drives with 32GB solid-state caches, and immaculate fit, finish, and construction. The main difference is in appearance.

Lenovo hasn’t broken the mold with the U310. Instead, they’ve followed the standard Ultrabook recipe. Low-voltage processor? Check. Slim profile? Of course. Attractive exterior? Yep. Long(ish) battery life? Also present. The laptop does, however, have two exceptional traits. One is price. At a base price of $749, the U310 is exceptionally inexpensive relative to the competition. Only the upcoming Acer Aspire M5 limbos under this laptop’s MSRP at $679.
