Striking design

The Lenovo IdeaPad U110 is like an object of art. The tendril pattern etched into its aluminum lid and the patterned vents on its base both bring to mind an illuminated manuscript or a fine textile.

Enhanced by a frameless screen and weighing approximately 1.05 kg , the 11-inch wide notebook's infinite-like viewing experience and thin and light frame cater to the highly mobile user, proving style and technology can go hand-in-hand. This super slim notebook is just about 18.4mm thick and has an LED screen which gives brighter display. The IdeaPad U110 is available in black or red.

Additionally, Lenovo's Active Protection System provides extreme durability by temporarily parking the hard drive if the notebook should fall or drop. Equipped with VeriFace Face Recognition, users can quickly and easily log-in without having to remember passwords.
