The ultraportable Lenovo IdeaPad U260 which is scheduled for release on November 15th (this Monday) for $US895 proves to be an inch thin and Lenovo states it to be the first laptop that comes with a 12.5-inch display with an HD 16:9 screen.

Lenovo makes use of a single piece of design that is carved out of magnesium-aluminum alloy for the first time, and at the same time the U260 clocks merely at 3 pounds.

Lenovo seemingly is offering luxury bound features like a leather palm rest and glass touchpad for the U260. Users would be able to customize it accordingly with the U260 with either a Core i3 or i5, which can be attached along with 320GB of HDD storage space and offered with a 4GB of RAM.

The ultra-portable laptop claimed to be the firm's "first single piece design made of magnesium-aluminum alloy materials." It offers Dolby audio, ambient light sensors, a Lenovo Enhanced Experience on top of Windows 7, HDMI, and Lenovo Active Protection System for hard drive shock protection with a12.5-inch Core i5 laptop which can be upped to 320 GB of HDD storage and 4 GB of DDR3 RAM.
