Lenovo this week unveiled its Y-series notebooks in China, they are aimed at the consumer market with reasonable pricing and multimedia functionality.

The Lenovo Y300 is a thin-and-light notebook featuring a 13.3" screen, slot-loading optical drive, and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce Go7300 graphics card. The Y300 also features a webcam, but it is not simply a webcam - it also lets you log into the computer. That's right - it acts in the same manner as a biometric fingerprint scanner, and can recognize a user if they simply look into the webcam. The Y300 weighs 2.2kg.

Lenovo's other Y-series, the Y400, features a 14.1" display and has a stronger multimedia feature set. It does not feature a webcam, although it does have a 2-watt subwoofer built-in.

Both the Y300 and the Y400 will be available in Asia Pacific on December 15; pricing will be released at a later date.

As any ThinkPad owner will attest, the design is minimalist, somewhat boxy, and all black, without any of the shiny accents or startling colours of other models. I prefer this look to the newer plastic white-grey look on many consumer and lower-end corporate notebooks.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 won't attract undue attention in a business meeting or classroom outside of its amazingly small size and professional look.

This laptop is, in my opinion, the ultimate business laptop for those who move around (who don't sit at the same desk all the time). Its immense portability combined with processing power, battery life, professional design, and keyboard comfort make it the perfect notebook for those who need any or all of the above.

I take this notebook to classes and its small size and weight allows me to easily juggle paper, binders, and documents without having to worry about running out of batteries or sluggish programs. Although there are a few problems with the notebook, I think it really shines in the ultraportable class above all other current models.
