Anyone know much about Lenovo ultrabooks.
I know they bought IBM a few years ago and looks like they do some nice machines.
Looking for a laptop for Claire. She's only a internet/outlook/word/excel user so spec doesn't need to be top notch.
I wondered about something like this:
http://www.johnlewis.com/lenovo-ideapad-u330-touch-ultrabook-intel-core-i7-4gb-ram-500gb-8gb-ssd-13-3-touch-screen-grey/p1101273
Appreciate it's only got 4gb RAM but hopefully good enough for what she's using it for.
Thoughts welcomed.
Apart from the funny Teletubbies desktop I think Levono are credited wit making some pretty solid laptops. However I'm not sure if this laptop exactly qualifies as an Ultrabook as the screen resolution is pretty low 1366 x 768. I think an Ultrabook should be somewhere around 1920 x 1080 or higher. But then you'd be paying closer to a grand for it. If the screen resolution isn't a big issue then I think it looks pretty decent.
Lenovo is a good brand and make some very solid machines. I'm currently looking at them for my new ultrabook. Lenovo also still have huge corporate support which should be a good reference for their reliability.

Have you shortlisted any as yet TL?
Yoga 2 Pro and the Carbon X1 (2nd Gen). Both have p[ros and cons.
My full list is (from memory as I don'thave it with me):
Acer Aspire S7
Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus
Asus Zenbook X302
Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro
Lenovo X1 Carbon (2nd Gen)(sure I'm missing one, but the sun has bleached my brain and I can't remember it)
Really struggling to make a decision on this, but will have to very soon.
Personally I would stay away from Acer, just do to their poor service.
We have a couple of users at work that have the X1 Carbon, and they love it. We stopped buying them due to limited docking functionality and having some trouble with driver in our image.
