Gotham Gadgets: The Lenovo IdeaPad U350

We love Lenovo products, and are happy to bring you the second laptop we are reviewing. The Lenovo IdeaPad U350 is more than just a great idea, it is a solution to every computer need you will have. The functionality, the light weight, the clarity of the screen, the responsiveness of the keyboard and the sound are all quite remarkable.

Sometimes Peachy Deegan feels like she is banging away at the keyboard a bit when she uses other computers. The lightest touch on this keyboard gets a response and we love that. It is akin to your placing your foot on the accelerator of a Corvette as opposed to a vehicles with less finesse, power and speed, three qualities also associated with the Lenovo IdeaPad U350.

Not only are we absolutely amazed with the light weight but the sleek, thin design impresses those that are tough to impress! We scout out gadgets all of the time but this is the thinnest we have ever seen...does this computer come with a little black dress because it certainly is thin enough to rock one! Our version IS in black...a perfect color for the fall.

Intel® Pentium® SU2700 processor ( 1.30GHz 800MHz 2MB )

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
