Sexiest Laptop Ever: Lenovo IdeaPad U110

The Lenovo IdeaPad U110 has a colored, textured lid that sports an intricate floral pattern that's rough to the touch, and beautiful to the eye. This sort of thing could have gone horribly wrong, but Lenovo's designers have pulled it off in a way that should appeal to men and women alike. Thus, it is seen as the sexiest laptop ever made so far.

Another good news with the U110 is that it's incredibly easy to carry around at only 2.4lbs of weight. It was simple to hold and palm in the hand for the purpose of taking pictures for instance.




Inside, there's one of the prettiest keyboards in the known universe. It's piano black, so it'll pick up more fingerprints than an entire series of CSI, but you can't help but love the look. Above it, there's a row of touch-sensitive buttons, but these have a floral appearance, so once again, it's the prettiest implementation we've ever come across.

Even the underside of the laptop is gorgeous. We'd have forgiven Lenovo for just including a bunch of holes for expelling hot air, but the designers have chosen to slap them with the pretty stick, and throw in some extra floral loveliness for good measure.

It's not just a pretty face. You get an 11-inch display, the option of a 64GB solid-state hard disk or 100GB 1.8-inch laptop drive, Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs from 1.8GHz and above, 2GB of RAM, and a webcam with face-recognition technology for logging into Windows Vista Ultimate. It'll be available from April 2008 onwards, and will have a starting price of $1,800 (£900).



Further evidence of hotness can be found underneath. There are cute vents, floral pattern at the top right corner, and cute rubber feet. The floral pattern extends to the shortcut buttons above the keyboard. Each is touch-sensitive and can be used for launching often-used applications and adjusting the system volume. The integrated webcam analyses the shape of your face, distance between your eyes, nose and so on, and uses this data to authenticate logins. Lenovo says it's impossible to fool the system even if you grow a beard, change your hairstyle, or pull a funny expression. The system automatically locks itself when you move away from the laptop, and if anyone else tries to log in, it takes a snapshot of the potential 'hacker' so you can beat him up later.

Lenovo IdeaPad U110 is extremely thin and light for on-the-go people who like to carry the best.
