Like the idea of owning a laptop nearly as light as a netbook, but don’t want to settle for a small screen and cramped keyboard? Then take a good look at the Lenovo IdeaPad U350. This $749 system (starting at $679) offers a larger 13-inch screen and a more comfortable typing experience, plus a more powerful processor than the typical mini-notebook. Read more

Overall, the IdeaPad U350 finds a comfortable balance between Lenovo's ThinkPad and 3000 ranges. It may not be the best ultraportable, but it's a highly usable machine and sure to suit small to medium business use. Read more
