The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is a Budget Ultrabook, If You Could, What Would You Add to The Mix?

Are you annoyed with startup times, the weight your laptop is or short battery life? Then you most likely gave Lenovo's IdeaPad U310 an distant glare. To be honest, besides those flaws, it looked otherwise an extremely solid Ultrabook for anyone whose pockets could not reach to top of the range model. We would like to know, did you purchase one? If that's the case, what did you make of it, and let's imagine you have been dreaming up a budget Ultrabook what might you change?

Lenovo to Introduce Contactless Payments to NFC Enabled ThinkPads Later This Year

Select ThinkPad owners may be making online purchases simply by tapping a compatible credit card to an embedded NFC reader before 2013 is through. Lenovo reps confirmed that the tech would be coming to a yet-to-be-announced array of NFC-enabled ThinkPad tablets or Ultrabooks sometime this year -- processing partnerships are still in the works, so we don't have any details to share there, but if all goes to plan, you could be submitting your card details securely and with ease very soon. The company shared the news during today's Expand conference in San Francisco, shortly after unveiling two new ThinkPad models, including the T431s Ultrabook. Lenovo hasn't confirmed whether that model will offer tap-to-pay support, too, but we certainly wouldn't rule it out. We've seen contactless payments in plenty of smartphones, of course, but widespread tablet and laptop implementation has yet to arrive. [Source]

Lenovo ThinkPad T, A Mixture of Thin, Pretty And Powerful

The ThinkPad T series isn't traditionally the prettiest out there, and it's certainly not one you'd usually see highlighted. But Lenovo went and made them pretty. It's got a new thinner body (20.6mm), a thin bezel, and a carbon fiber top with a magnesium exterior. It doesn't look quite as great as the X1 Carbon, but it's nice just the same.

The rest is, you know, a ThinkPad. Standard ultrabook guts (though up to 12GB of RAM is nice), Lenovo software, nice keyboard, 14-inch 1600x900 matte screen. The T431s is out in April starting at $950.
