Lenovo IdeaPad U300S

Sitting firmly between other Ultrabooks in terms of both price and performance, Lenovo's IdeaPad still proved that Intel's specifications make for versatile and powerful little lappies. Lenovo has prioritised business use on the IdeaPad, so you'll find a comfortable keyboard and matt screen. While the latter may not be ideal for photos and movies, it's perfect for working outside or in the glare of the sun. Long battery life and low weight make it great for long business trips, and while the design is nothing special it's still head and shoulders above non-Ultrabook laptops.
