Unboxing the Lenovo IdeaPad U150

We haven’t had a worldwide announcement of the new Lenovo IdeaPad U150, but curiously, it is available in Japan and Peter over Netbooked.net has gotten one and unboxed it for us.  The new IdeaPad U150 can’t strictly be considered a netbook due to it’s Core 2 Duo 1.2ghz processor, but with it’s 11.6″ screen we wouldn’t consider it a laptop either.  That space in between is being called the ‘thin and light’ category.

We should hear more at Lenovo’s Press event tomorrow regarding worldwide availability, but in the meantime, click past the break to see the unboxing video and full machine specification.
