Lenovo IdeaPad U260 and its 12.5-inch display heads stateside for $899

Were you getting worried that Lenovo was going to pull another ThinkPad Edge 11 and forget to release that dapper IdeaPad U260 in the US of A? Well, set those worries aside — we just received word (or you know, a press release) that spills all the US pricing and availability details. That’s right, the world’s first laptop with a 12.5-inch display will be available starting November 15 (that’s this coming Monday) for a starting price of $899. But there’s more to the .7-inch / 3-pound U260 than it’s unique screen size — it’s got a glass touchpad option, a “breathable” chiclet keyboard for cooling, and it’s the company’s first “single piece design made of magnesium-aluminum alloy materials.” We don’t have details on what you get for the sub-$900 starting price, but the system is available with Core i3-380UM and Core i5-470UM processors, up to 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive. We should be getting a closer look at this guy soon, but at least you have the weekend to peruse the pictures and press release below before deciding if you want to hit “Add To Cart” come Monday.
