Were you getting worried that Lenovo was going to pull another
ThinkPad Edge 11 and forget to release that dapper IdeaPad U260 in the
US of A? Well, set those worries aside -- we just received word (or
you know, a press release) that spills all the US pricing and
availability details. That's right, the world's first laptop with a
12.5-inch display will be available starting November 15 (that's this
coming Monday) for a starting price of $899. But there's more to the .
7-inch / 3-pound U260 than its unique screen size -- it's got a glass
touchpad option, a "breathable" chiclet keyboard for cooling, and it's
the company's first "single piece design made of magnesium-aluminum
alloy materials." We don't have details on what you get for the sub-
$900 starting price, but the system is available with Core i3-380UM
and Core i5-470UM processors, up to 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard
drive. We should be getting a closer look at this guy soon, but at
least you have the weekend to peruse the pictures and press release
below before deciding if you want to hit "Add To Cart" come Monday.
