Press quotes
“The IdeaPad U110 is particularly appealing as 11.1″ sub-notebook; the main striking thing about the design of IdeaPad U110 is probably the lid, its sizzling red-hot and has sort of florid pattern to it – not anything like we’ve seen in a notebook before.”

Laptop Link, January 2008
“Here’s the 11-inch. I want one soooooo bad now that I’ve seen it in person. … 17-inch. Awesome”

“We caught some time with Lenovo’s new Ideapads and they’re pretty hot…”

Leaving engadget, January 2008
“The Lenovo IdeaPad U110 while not a UMPC or a Tablet PC is certainly an intriguing little small device. It is tiny and shiny and with that red cover will certainly stand out in a crowd. And guess what, for security how would you like to try Facial Recognition on for size? Well, that’s what you will be able to do if you get your hands on this small device.”

“With a focus on the consumer market, Lenovo has announced their new IdeaPad line of notebooks, featuring touch sensitive controls, Dolby Home Theatre Systems, frameless screens, VeriFace for facial recognition, and unique paint textures.”

Leaving Gottabemobile.com, January 2008
“Other interesting design notes include a backlit logo on the notebook’s cover, a 6-in-1 card reader, and a unique drop-style hinge. Perhaps the coolest feature though is the facial recognition system that will allow Windows users to login to their notebook simply by sitting in front of the computer.”
