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.
