Comments about Lenovo IdeaPad U310 13.3" Ultrabook Computer (Aqua Blue):
The computer itself rocks. great buying experience at the best electronics store in the world... however, had the usual set of challenges with windows 8 and installation of office 2013 pro. Had to download files and go thru an 11 step process to clear out registry of the old version of office before I could load the new one. Can't blame b&h or lenovo for that.

Comments about Lenovo IdeaPad U310 13.3" Ultrabook Computer (Aqua Blue):
Read many professional reviews before purchasing. Lenovo did a great job of getting a nice light slim package with plenty of power under the hood. Good looking. Easy to slide in and out of pack for grad school. Screen is plenty bright and sharp. Great battery life. Hybrid SSD/HD makes for awesome fast boots and resumes. A tiny bit of flex in the keyboard, no doubt because of lightness of materials, but does not seem flimsy. A winner. (Windows 8 is less of a winner, but that's not Lenovo's fault. Multi-touch pad works fine.)

Comments about Lenovo IdeaPad U310 13.3" Ultrabook Computer (Aqua Blue):
I was frustrated with Windows 8 and the touchpad for the first ten minutes or so, but after a few configurations this has been working great. It runs fast and is very lightweight. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for gaming, but for gaming, but for school or work-related tasks it's perfect. I also like how it is resistant to smudges--if you touch other brands of laptops they end up looking filthy very quickly.
My only complaint is that the mouse buttons are too hard to press--you have to put a fair amount of power into pressing them, and I can see that becoming painful after working with this machine for long periods of time. This sort of forces you to click with the touchpad, which has actually crashed for me already.

Comments about Lenovo IdeaPad U310 13.3" Ultrabook Computer (Aqua Blue):
I use my computer mainly for class and ITunes. The computer is very, has a great battery life, thin and easy to carry, has a sleek look, finger-friendly keys that fit well and are easy to press, the scream is bright and very clear, the speakers are cinema-like and handle the heavy base in music very well, and the smooth surface around the keyboard is very comfortable. The only pat about the computer that is a bit irritating is the mouse pad of the computer. You must hit the left-click in the right spot or the right-click menu will be pulled up.
