Lenovo IdeaPad U110

I've written a bit about the Lenovo IdeaPad U110 once before, but only briefly. I mentioned that it had an airbag so no worries if you drop the thing. The airbag isn't like one in a car that blows up and keeps the whole unit from breaking, it's "an air bag-like device that parks the hard drive to help protect data during a fall," according to laptopcom.

CNET has a video about the laptop and a review. They rate the computer an 8/10, saying that it has a gorgeous design, is lightweight (it weighs 2 1/2 lbs  and has sharp screen resolution.

It costs about $2000. Batteries with the laptop are a challenge, though. They only last 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. Note, also that the DVD burner is external.

The computer has a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 processor and runs on Windows Vista Home Premium.
