A descendant of the U110 and Lenovo’s latest offering into the thin laptop category, the Lenovo Ideapad U330 is very much like its ancestor when it comes to looks. It sports a glossy black finish, and even has a pattern of pinstripes on the lids.
Aesthetics is not the only aspect that the Ideapad U330 excels in, it also promises great performance for the user. For example, it has a 2.0 GHz P7350 Intel Core 2 Duo marshalling its operations. Coupled with a RAM bank of 3 gigabytes (DDR3 memory chips are used), the Lenovo Ideapad U330 promises a seamless and lag-free operation even when multitasking with memory-hungry applications. The Lenovo Ideapad U330 needs these specs in order to function easily with its heavy Vista operating system.
Unlike most laptops in its category, the Lenovo Ideapad U330 brings a unique flair into itself. For example, it has a switchable graphics processor. For normal computing usage, you can use the integrated Intel 4500MHD Graphics Media Accelerator. However, if you need heavy graphics support, you can switch your graphics card unto the 256 MB ATI Radeon HD 3450. With this setup, you can save a lot of energy with the less demanding Intel GMA 4500MHD.

Lenovo wanted to cash in on this netbook boom so it came out with the IdeaPad S10. It used EeePC as its benchmark leading some to say that the IdeaPad S10 was an EeePC killer.
Two years ago, the Asus EeePC subnotebook entered the market. Immediately, buyers were attracted because of its low price, light weight, solid-state drive and Linux OS. Because of this, Asus EeePC’s were selling like hotcakes. Competitors had no other choice except to manufacture and market their own budget-priced subnotebooks.
As a result, the market was suddenly flooded with netbooks. They were small, light and inexpensive. The features were pretty basic and it allowed users to do general computing, web surfing and running rich Internet applications.
