Lenovo Ideapad U150 noticed at CEATEC Japan – a CULV netbook from Lenovo

At CEATEC Japan, Lenovo was displaying an 11.6-inch Lenovo Ideapad U150 that is sports a bit beefier specs than the usual netbooks that we mention everyday. Instead of the usual Atom,it uses an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (according to PCwatch, it is ultra low voltage). It has 250GB hard disk, 2GB RAM, Intel GMA X4500 graphic chipset. Weighing just 1.35kg and being just 13.5mm thick, it should be pretty darn easy to carry around. It has full size keyboard and has decent-size touchpad.

It has some luxuries that you do not see in a usual netbook like leather palm rest and patterns all over its body.
