Lenovo, the company who bought IBM’s consumer computers line, has unveiled a new line of consumer-oriented laptops dubbed the IdeaPad. First up is the Y510, a 15.4″ widescreen lappy which sports an anemic 1280×800 resolution, 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo CPU with a slow 667MHz front-side bus, a reasonable 250GB drive, 2GBs of RAM (4GB max.), an in-built 1.3MP camera, and a Dolby Labs designed sound system. To round it out, the whole thing weighs in at an unacceptable 6.4 lbs. If that’s not enough, there’s also the Y710, a 17″ version, which likely weighs in at 7-8 lbs. The only bright spot in the group is the U110, an 11.1″ ultra portable which won’t be available until March. There are no pricing details as of yet.
