Lenovo today introduced four new notebooks for consumers to express themselves with more choices of color, including Indigo blue, Bold black and Crimson red. In addition, the four notebooks also come with consumer-focused features including expanded facial recognition capabilities for simple and convenient log-on, One-Key Rescue System to recover your ideas with just one touch, HDMI to connect to the digital world and optional Blu-Ray DVD players on select models for enjoying high-definition content.

The announcement brings two new notebook form factors - the 13-inch widescreen IdeaPad Y330 and U330 notebooks and the 14-inch widescreen IdeaPad Y430 notebook - to the IdeaPad line. Additionally, the new IdeaPad Y530 notebook round out Lenovo's expanded consumer notebook portfolio. All of the notebooks are based on the latest Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology.

"From San Francisco to Paris to Singapore, customer feedback on our inaugural IdeaPad notebooks has been exceptional," said Eric Zhao, Country Manager, Consumer Business, Lenovo Malaysia. "Our new styles, colors and innovations are all about customers and the ways they express themselves and their ideas."

Lenovo designed its "U" series to be all about expressing ideas with style. The IdeaPad U330 notebook is a super-slim ultra-light addition to the widely-acclaimed IdeaPad U110 notebook, introduced in the spring. Available in a glossy Indigo blue, the notebook starts at 2.29 cm thin and weighs in at just over 1.8 kg.

Equipped with the latest version of VeriFace facial recognition technology, consumers can now access encrypted files and to record a 30-second video message for others users. Designed with Dolby® Home Theatre and touch-sensitive multimedia controls, the notebook comes equipped with HDMI and an optional built-in DVD burner.    

The IdeaPad U330 notebook also includes switchable graphics. This enables the user to run energy-efficient integrated graphics while on battery power and then switch to high-definition discrete graphics for more powerful performance when "plugged in." The notebook also offers an LED backlit display, five hours of battery life and Lenovo's Active Protection System (APS), a feature pioneered on ThinkPad notebooks. Lenovo's APS technology helps protect the data on the hard drive if the notebook should fall. And if the operating system should crash, users can recover their data at the touch of a button with the One-Key Rescue System.
