Intel Ultrabook Lenovo U Series U300s

Intel Ultrabook Lenovo U Series U300sWhat is an Ultrabook?

Powered by the Visibly Smart Intel® Core™ processors, Ultrabook™ is a new category of ultra responsive, ultra sleek, and ultra stylish devices that are less than an inch thick and wake up in a flash. They’re an optimal blend of the performance and smart capabilities you expect—and the portability and style you want. Intel recently launched their current flagship product for the savvy, stylish and trendy mover-and-shaker who seeks to be with it every step of the way. They call it the Intel Ultrabook and what a beautiful piece of Architecture this is.

Now onto the best piece of Good News yet: We, here at Juuchini, are giving away one Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook worth $1200 (100,000 KES) to one lucky contestant; Courtesy of Intel. We have listed the cool features of the Ultrabook below. All you need to do is read and understand the Ultrabook’s features and pick one (1). Instructions await you at the end of the list of features below:

  3. Fast SSD storage In order to enable fast-boot and resume, a fast SSD storage is needed. This reduces power and increases ruggedness too. A ‘hybrid’ hard drive with traditional spinning disk and a smaller flash memory module is available on the Ultrabook.
  4. Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time – An Ultrabook survives well even when it is rarely turned off. It means having very low power idle states and the ability to resume from standby and connect to WiFi in less than 5 seconds.
  5. High Processing Power – This covers nearly every business usage scenario. Aside from the biggest video rendering operations, compression processes, large or batch image editing operations and most complex spreadsheet calculations the Ultrabook will be able to operate just as you would expect from a desktop. Multiple applications in the background with multiple flash-enabled browser tabs, fast decompression of compressed packages, 720p video editing and almost careless use of the operating system.
  6. Latest Operating Systems – Windows 7 and Windows 8 will be the main target operating systems. The Ultrabook is fully compatible with both of these.

  1. Light, Thin and Stylish wins it for me! The other incredible specs like fast boot times, high SSD storage, fast processor might exist but only on bulky huge machines. I am regularly on the move and would go to all lengths to have the Ultrabook I can power up and instantly start working anywhere be it at a coffee shop waiting for a friend or waiting lounge catching up on work without needing too much space or constant power supply.

  2. I am spoilt for choice!!! I love all features of this Lenovo UltraBook. If i were to pick one then it would be High Processing Power! I run so many applications at a time in the office and my ka-machine keeps crashing. With the processing power of the Intel UltraBook I can be assured of working fast and without crash interruptions 🙂

  3. Number 4: Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time –
    I can only imagine the possibilities! In customer support, one needs to get to the client, get a solution fast to ensure low downtimes! The speedy resume to task times would make me a star and the envy of all my colleagues. That less than 5 Seconds resume time is a MUST HAVE! please please lemme have it! PLEASSEEE!!!

  4. I would buy it for the fast boot time. I am one of those guys who rarely switch off their computers save for when you think you are wearing it out, or when it becomes too slow. So fast boot time and the great processing power should strike a chord for me. Even though the slim form also appeals to me, the ability to fit it into almost any bag and not feel the weight is a huge plus.

  5. All of the features of the Intel Ultrabooks are preety good, but i’ll settle for ‘Light thin and stylish’ feature. This feature is quite important for my day to day campus life which requires to have a powerful light laptop to carry around. Also it is made from aluminium which makes it strong and stylish which is perfect for me since it makes it durable and aesthetically pleasing.

  6. INTEL ULTRABOOK = ULTRACUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY!!!! Specifically, its High Processing Power,ultra slim and sleek attributes make it, by lack of other definition, a SUPER COMPUTER only that its in the form of a tab…meaning can do literally ANYTHING.AND.EVERYTHING.ON.THE.GO!!! i think my office desk just became mobile 🙂 MIND BLOWING!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

  7. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System:
    I walk around alot with my mini/netbook/Mobile Office.It would be good to know that whatever happens to it, i.e. if someone took it without my permission with the intention of keeping it for good, it would not be of much use to them,a good Kenyan would be able to contact me, AND,my data would be safe (disabling of the hard drive).

    1. A machine with high specs is the preferable one. One because it’ll handle most tasks efficiently. Such a machine would/should feature high processing abilities, fast to wake/boot and storage speeds among others. And in most cases with the advances in designs its appealing and very portable. The Ultrabook is ultra responsive, ultra sleek, and ultra stylish. The Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook is an ideal ambassador in this category.

  8. For a lady who is always in meetings and always has to think on her feet *Light, Thin and Stylish* wins it for me. This means I can carry it anywhere, and it will portray my intelligence with style! Would LOVE to have one of these! 🙂

  9. High Processing Power
    i’m a gamer and a coder, so most of the time i’m multitasking different heavy applications and many times i also have a game running in the background for when i need a break. Having the lenovo would really be a great update from my current laptop which has gone through a lot and needs a little sister to take all the stress off her.

  10. My job requires a lot of design work and photo editing with very tight deadlines. With “High Processing Power “, my rendering time will be reduces and thus faster turnover.
    Now you know why I really need one of these Ultrabooks.

  11. am going for no. 2 – its Light, Thin and Stylish…I like the compact nature and size because I can carry the Lenovo Ultrabook anywhere and everywhere, now I don’t need to carry my diary anymore to meetings & even when I forget my phone I don’t need to panic coz the office mail is in sync with my contacts I can just ‘text’ them…and oh goodbye my big heavy laptop I don’t need to carry you anymore in your ‘briefcase’ basically the Ultra book is officially the coolest with its sleek look…

  12. All of the features are great but im interested in how the Ultrabook is Light, thin and stylish. This is the principal factor that distinguishes Ultrabooks from other laptops and this can help me able to carry the ultrabook more often than a convectional laptop during my day to day campus life. Also, it is made from aluminium which makes it stylish and durable hence enabling me to have it for a long long time.

  14. No 7.High security and intel anti-theft system.Am well assured that whenever my laptop is stollen,my information,my data,sensitive info will be protected not leaked,and i will my beloved Lenovo ultra-book.

  15. No. 7 High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System
    This device I believe is specifically designed for those that do most of their work online. With the rising security concerns, either be it hacking of someone’s info online or it being stolen, it guarantees the safety of the user’s info. This is a plus if am asked. The good samaritan messege is a bonus for the user of Ultrabook user. Who wouldn’t want their laptop recovered after spending such a fortune on it?

  16.

Also its body is made of aluminium which makes it stylish and durable hence enabling me to have it for a long time.

  17. Light, Thin and Stylish – easy when tweeting in, out of office, in a restaurant…anywhere..

  18. For me it’s definitely the high processing power. I use machines for basically everything they offer: office work, school work, business communication, internet, downloads, movies, gaming, video & photo editing; the list is endless. So So I know the Lenovo would be able to handle all these applications simultaneously without the hiccups experienced by other machines. I mean, it’s a Lenovo. I needn’t say more…

  19. I am a newspaper photojournalist, I handle thousands of kilobytes of news pictures on daily basis. My pictures filed often from remote and far outposts of Kenya and Africa influence positive change throughout the world. Regularly, my assignments take me to hostile undeveloped lands where long or not long lasting laptop battery determines if I will file or not. A dead battery is late photographs and the entire trip is waste. With a big ram and using photoshop am able to make small corrections to the photograph and transmit it to my newsroom in time. By giving me this laptop, you are giving it to the thousands of Kenyan who every morning open their newspaper for information. Fast, reliable laptop to a photojournalist is only second to a good camera. There you go…give it to me.

  20. I’ll go for ‘High Processing Power’. This guarantees ease in handling multiple operations at the same time and efficiently. A slow computer is among the most disappointing experiences for anyone fascinated by technology and I now think it’s time to archive my old desktop, right?

  21. Number 7.
    High Security with Intel Anti Theft System.
    This is a big, big plus since security and the integrity of my data is of the highest importance as i deal with different clients whose data i store on my laptop. Therefore with the knowledge that even if the laptop got stolen it would be un-usable, makes it the kind of notebook i need so i can have peace of mind and smoothly run my daily computing. I also think the remote shutdown and reactivation of the laptop is a pretty cool feature.

  22. 6. Latest Operating Systems. being compatible with windows 7 and windows 8 simply means better networking, more speed, easy sharing, smarter search and it also makes it easier to manage your devices. 🙂

  23. Feature #5 does it for me.I’m a campus student,studying computer engineering,5th year.I engage myself daily in web design,programming,graphic design among others.I require use of specific software which need fast processor speeds,to perform well,and yield optimum results e.g Visual Studio,MatLAB,AUTOCAD.I think the Ultrabook would be a perfect fit for me,and it would also protect my interlectual property.

  24. 2. Light, thin, and stylish.

    One Word PORTABLE! I spend I spend alot of time on the social media, and I’m often forced to use my phone, with all it’s limitations especially when it comes to screen size, after office hours. 11 to 13 inches,and weighing in at 1.5kg, Lenovo UltraBook is exactly what the doctors prescribed for me. It’s like a miniskirt: portable and stylish enough to arouse interest, and big enough to cover the essentials!

  25. I would have to say, I need the Ultrabook for it’s High Processing Power. There was a time when I had a laptop, I made the mistake of trying to get it to do things it couldn’t handle (May the Dell rest in peace). So now I’m left without a working computer and sitting on almost 1 terabyte of raw footage from shoots waiting to be edited. By giving me this laptop, it won’t be just another giveaway, it is investing in the future of a young female upcoming producer and her startup company. There is only so much I can do on my phone, which is actually what I’m using to write this. So… Pick me!

  26. I would go with the high specs feature. ” A mobile laptop that with high processing capability and high specs normally found on larger desktops”. As a computer scientist and blogger this is very important. I need something i can program, play music, write articles, surf etc all at the same time!

  27. I’ll go for number 5. Being a multi-tasking guy always having a dozen applications running on my machine in my various roles as a student and online worker it is an obvious choice. Running Java virtual machine, editing a php script on the other window, modifying my class project and blogging like I always do, drain lots of resources on standard machines. This is why I find the Lenovo Ultrabook coming in handy as it will allow me to juggle between my various roles in the world of computing.

  28. N0.4 This is the feature that concerns me most especially since I travel upcountry on most weekends and there is no electricity there

  29. 2.Light, Thin and Stylish- for me this feature stands out for both professional and personal reasons. Professional when i put in mind my day to day work as a Public Relations and Communications practitioner , you jump into one meeting after another so you never have time to sit on a desk, every tick of the clock is enough to send a release, caption a photo, pich an interview, schedule meeting, send status reports, monitor media coverage on your client or industry trends, i am constantly always on the move responding to client requests, journalist emails, amending communication plans whether in traffic, on a moving car you got to have a machine that is flexible…in simple sense this feature clearly had me in mind, i mean one that i can comfortably carry wherever i go and even comes on instantly…
    As a person i am outgoing social and very stylish so when shopping for a machine i look for one that speaks to my personality….and THIS IS IT! the Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook

    1. No. 4-Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time – With the untimely power black outs i’ve been facing of late..i think the ultrabook is the most ideal if i was to finalize my tasks with no interruptions.. 😉

  30. No.5. High Processing Power – Video rendering operations, large or batch image editing operations and 720p video editing work best for me. I am a graphic designer and video editor probably I should have Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook. My current machine take forever rendering a video and doesn’t display the right colour chrome, so you can imagine the hustle i go through.
    The high processing power of this Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook is ideal for my work. Can’t wait to get my hands on this machine…!!!

  31. Would be lost for choice given all the attributes cut across my business segment. So I will go for the Light, thin and Stylish, Spending time configuring sites in remote locations need one to have a light package that does not add to your already stressed up baggage of links that are faulty and access codes that ain’t just going through. Well having a machine that is a beauty to the eye, light and stylish is always good to brightening one of those days when nothing is just working. So this definitely replacing my relic Dell would be a great deal #LenovoUltrabook’ Honestly I wish I could touch on all the attributes. Hehe

  32. All these features are super amazing. But Light, Thin and Stylish. That’s for me. I am a minimalist by nature. I would be able to carry it to meetings that involve trying to find solutions to Africa’s food problems, unemployment and agricultural empowerment.

    It will be easy to carry along, and on top of it all, it will be like a fashion accessory… say like… a scarf. Light, Thin and Stylish That’s winning for me.

  33. No. 1 High Specs – Because of a busy schedule at work and at school in the evening, family it becomes important to carry work around and to take advantage of short moments to tackle some tasks. This Ultra-book would be the right tool since it will still offer me the same processing power and speed as the office desktop but on the go. This means I can work in the same speed as if I were at work. It would also encourage me to work from home at times instead of leaving early to queue in traffic so I would say it will be a time and in the bigger picture money saver for me. #LenovoUltrabook

  34. Ligt, Thin and stylish works for me. I totally love the other specs but to have a computer that is classy and stylish that can fit into my bag is a big win for me. I do lots of presentations and move frequently with my laptop and if it can fit into my handbag, then i do not need to be conspicous on carry my laptop which is a big win considering the amount of theft of laptops around town.

  35. Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time

    This is very important for me. I very rarely will sit in one place for an extended period of time. In a day, I will usually travel from client to client to home base in the course of my work

    The ability to quickly pick up where I left off is key, it allows me to rapidly execute ideas as quickly as I can think them, quickly modify a pitch just before a meeting, come back to the matter I was handling before I had to leave to meet a client.

    Quickly booting on and rapidly connecting to wifi would mean that I’m seconds away from Skype calls, an integral part of what I do.

    Having a machine that allows me to get into what I want to do, fast, without getting in my way isn’t just cool, it can sometimes mean the difference between winning a client and losing out on business, its crucial.

    This key feature draws me to the Ultrabook.

  36. High Processing Power – this would be my feature as it will be very handy in my day to day graphics rendering and the many applications i use at work that are demanding in terms of processing power one being 3D modelling.

    And since i am usually very mobile and work all the time, this feature will make mo more productive as i will process my work faster, and my output will be much higher with the better processing power.

  37. The High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System is the biggest plus for me. I have been a victim of laptop theft and it was an absolute disaster. I only wished there was a way it could signal to my cell or other contact when the culprit tried to log in. Its light, thin and styish feature makes the Intel Ultrabook wonderful for portability. I can stash it in bag as I go and greatly reduce future loss!

  38. High Processing Power > I work with high end programs like Adobe photoshop,illustrator and I do video editing with programs like Vegas and others like Motion.
    The Lenovo Ultrabook’s High processing power will help me in executing my work in short span…plus make cutting egde video editing in High Definition. And for playing High end games..forgot that one.

  39. I would go for the processing power, that matters most to me because time is money..time is EVERYTHING.

  40. Light,thin and stylish.As a student I need a laptop that is portable because it will accompany me for a good portion of my day,I can carry it with ease,its light.The laptop must also occupy least space,it must fit into my in my pouch,I don’t need a laptop that everybody will know am carrying it,I must comfortably carry it around without any fear&anyone noticing,its thin.I also need a laptop that is good to look at,cool and unique,that is it is stylish.Intel ultrabook qualifies to be my laptop of choice.

  41. Out of all the other amazing features, the thought of High Security with the Intel Anti-Theft System is totally awesome and new too . I cannot even imagine what will happen if I lost my laptop and be unable to track and recover it or worse even, if all the client data from the projects I have done for my clients before finding their way out to the enemy. The Lenovo Ultrabook’s big security and encoding of the motherboard and hard drive to prevent usage after its stolen will give me a guarantee that at least all of my client data is safe. The fact that I can also shutdown and reactivate this amazing gadget remotely and track down any suspicious activity is a big plus to my computing life. Realizing that not all people who might end up with my Lenovo Ultrabook have bad intentions the ultrabook will enable the nice people to contact me in case of loss thanks to the ‘Good Samaritan’ message feature. This way my lncome and future are well secured, thanks to the Lenovo Ultrabook’s Intel Anti-theft System.

  42. Honestly only picking one feature is doing this piece of art justice. But since we have to i will have to go with – Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time -The thought of not having to worry about leaving my laptop charger at home as I go about doing research or data collection in mostly remote areas would be more than a breath of fresh air. No more avoiding outdoor meetings or presentations for here hence forth.
    Lenovo – Ideapad U300s Ultrabook = FREEDOM, EFFICIENCY and STYLE

    Lenovo – Ideapad U300s Ultrabook = FREEDOM, EFFICIENCY and STYLE

  44. High Processing Power:- As a software developer the kind of tools and integrated environments that go into daily design-coding-testing life cycle are heavy and need high processing power, ask any developer and they’ll tell you how they hate the wait during compile time..a clean build is out of the picture if your using a slow machine. Getting this Ultrabook will really and I mean really save on my time, when I have to do thousands of lines of code to debug a slow machine is the least thing I need.

  45. Hi. My choice is number 1(High specs). I am always left out when me and five of my friends go for an online multiplayer session. With Intel Core i5 or core i7 , 4 gb ddr3…Intel® HD 3000 graphics card and the most important of them all, a 4-Cell Li-Polymer Up to 8 hours battery life, the Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook would be just the right laptop for tribes ascend.

Kindly hook me up with it i will much appreciate it.

  49. High Processing Power

    I’m a power user not a normal user, I do a lot more than just web-browsing and email. As a network engineer, I’m constantly on the move so I use my laptop for everything from running Network Management Applications to on-line gaming. I’ve had enough with the hiccup products; I need POWER on the GO, I NEED THE ULTRABOOK!

  50. 5.High Processing Power
    High processing power ultimately means high performance. High performance outweighs everything as its the very heart of an ultra book. This allows the ultra book to fit into any scenario. Be it in an office, school, home and even better for entertaining. Its ability to run multiple high end applications seamlessly simultaneously out leagues any other PC. The best part of the high processing power is that it spares the battery. Its capable of providing the best processing power and yet require very little battery power thus the ultra book can last for hours with the high performance.

I need a machine that is reliable, efficient and effective due to its nice specs. The high processing capability in .This Ultra book provide my ideal solution to ensure my business runs smoothly

  53. lenovo has become the second largest computer manufacturer in no time!!!… and from what i can see from consumer reviews buying a lenovo computer is a good investment. am an animation student and it woudnt hurt to have a machine that can handle maya or 3ds max with being the least bit unstable……good job lenovo!!

  54. High Processing Power – just what I need to seamlessly run AutoCAD and build on my design abilities as a future prominent Civil Engineer. With this geeky processing power, I will be tweeting, facebooking, listening to my favorite tunes and downloading countless movies while I build an all new KENYA.

  55. (1) High Specs – Its what I need in a computer for executing my work faster.
    Watch High Definition Videos without the processer breaking a sweat and also play high resolution games which also requires high quality sound, and by far that’s what the Lenovo Ultrabook U300 can offer.

  56. The feature that totally kills it for me has got to be Number 2: light, thin & stylish. Being a lady in pursuit of a career in medicine, a light machine would totally be effecient in reducing the bulk that i have to carry around. It would be perfect to use when doing my rounds in the hospital and in my research. It is also awesome to have such a powerful machine and still look stylish carrying it in a nice sleek bag, especially with my petité stature. Light, thin and stylish is a winner for me!

  57. Hi, my choice is number 4 ( Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby
    and Speedy Resume to Task Time) –
    The Ultrabook would help me in teaching. The 54WHr battery; 4-Cell Li-
    Polymer (built-in) that can last up to
    8 hours would help me in lecturing in classes that don’t have a place to plug in. It would also help me in my research with its capability of connecting to WiFi in less
    than 5 seconds.

  58. Hi performance. I play games that put a lot of load and demand on the machine. Not to mention running demanding programs simultaneously and virtualization.

  59. Being 5ft 2″… and owning the HEAVIEST, most MASSIVE lap top this century…No. 2: “Light, Thin, Stylish” is the feature that will ease my day to day computing life. No more embarrassing moments impaling people in ‘matatus’ with my huge luggage… no more jokes being cracked about why I walk around with a whole other person in my laptop bag! No more back aches! No more meeting clients with ultra sleek machines, staring at my archaic monster! I feel relieved already! Gimme that Lenovo Ultrabook! It would benefit my health as well! 🙂

  60. Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time works best for me. A recent incident where I was doing a presentation and suddenly my battery power drained out. Quickly plugging in on to a power source my laptop took 3-5 minutes to boot up. You can imagine the look on everyone’s face staring at me. Need not to say I lost the pitch. With a Lenovo Ultrabook I sure will avoid such embarrassment and make awesome presentations that will satisfy both my clients and audience.

    Thank you!

  61. 1.
    one word portability.
    easily portable even for some of using public transport.

  62. High processing power.
    As a computer scientist currently with a desire to create mobile applications fit for the kenyan market,i believe the high processing capabitlity offered by the lenovo ideapad u300s intel ultrabook would come in handy when writing codes,debugging and running them without the computer hanging or waiting for ages like my compaq cq62 does.it would also bring a touch os serioosness when doing the presentations at ihub since it will avoid the embarassment caused by hanging and slow computers..thank you.

  63. 5. High Processing Power – This covers nearly every business usage scenario. Aside from the biggest video rendering operations, compression processes, large or batch image editing operations and most complex spreadsheet calculations the Ultrabook will be able to operate just as you would expect from a desktop. Multiple applications in the background with multiple flash-enabled browser tabs, fast decompression of compressed packages, 720p video editing and almost careless use of the operating system.

    I am a multi-tasker running applications from here to Timbuktu and option 5 is what draws me to this fascinating device. Many other devices have let me down in the past because they cannot run many applications. The Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook is definitely the gadget for me.

  64. 5. High processing power.

    I have a problem. I am addicted to opening atleast 50 tabs on google chrome only and I wont talk about firefox.

    I have been a victim of mouse harrasment and keyboard molesting too on several occasions (yes, am ashamed). Constant frustration due to a 480p video hanging and the ultimate bluescreen of death just coz I forgot am using a P3 *long live intel* and double clicked on photoshop 7. One sad story after another I fear for my heart yet am only 22.

    Now am seated I cant blog often neither convert my 480p tutorial videos to a decent HD……ill spare you my rumbling. And thats why I desparately need this lenovo ultrabook. Sob* sob*

  65. Has to be all that processing packed into such a small space. perfect for my freelance programming.

  66. I go for Number 1 and 5(they go hand in hand) , there is nothing as lovely as working with a machine that doesn’t ‘hang’ and loads pictures and edits my videos in a snap.

    Loading raw videos and editing them without the stress of waiting for an hour or two to load is just fantastic. This will be the coolest machine to own.

    Working in film and production, which entails video footage and high resolution photos, Lenovo Ultrabook will fit in JUST PERFECT in my life.

    And from the rest of the amazing feature I can tell it has a dope battery life 🙂

  67. The High Processing Power will come in handy when I start my training on Maya 3D Animation later in June which I am supposed to later train my design students at Mukuru Info. Centre.. So it will be benefiting a lot more people in the end 🙂

  68. Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time. This will help me resume back to work much faster and waste no time.

  69. Light, thin and stylish does it for me. I hate that feeling of paranoia I get when I’m carrying a laptop with a laptop bag or having to carry a huge bag that even I can fit in just to conceal it. Its a plus that my shoulder wont get numb from the weight, saving my man from the long shoulder rub sessions (he will be eternally grateful) and since it doesnt have to be fed, its a much cheaper stylish accessory to a lady than a chihuahua. A girl gotta have one!

  70. I am known to misuse/overwork laptops but truly, all I want is one that can keep up with my crazy usage of space and dire need for rebooting speed and processing speed, thus number 4 has to be my best quality.

    More than that I need a laptop that’s a beast at work but a lady on the hand which qualified the intel ultra book because its thin, light and stylish

  71. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System –
    This laptop is big on security and encoding of
    the motherboard and hard drive ensuring that
    it cannot be used if it is every stolen. Intel
    allows for remote shutdown and reactivation of
    this laptop by the user at any given time. It also
    monitors suspicious activity like multiple
    unsuccessful login attempts, disables a hard
    drive once it is removed, offers a ‘Good
    Samaritan’ message for easy contact upon
    recovery.
    FOLLOWING THE CURRENT STATE OF ECONOMY IN KENYA,IT WOULD COST ALOT ON LOOSING A GADGET ESP AN ULTRABOOK THEREFORE THE FEATURE OF high security with Intel Anti-theft System,IT WOULD MAKE IT EASY TRACK DOWN THE LOST GADGET DUE TO GOOD SAMARITAN MESSAGE AND ALSO PROVIDE INFORMATION SECURITY ON YOUR WORK INCASE OF INTRUSION,MODIFICATION OR ANY OTHER THREAT THROUGH THE ABILITY TO MONITOR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES since Information Security is not cryptography and “Whenever you have a secret, you have a
    vulnerability”

  72. The one that stands out to me most, honestly, is the light, thin, sleek design 😀 It’s perfect for traveling, which is something I aspire to do when I can 😀

    Twitter – @TimboSquad

  73. ultraslim and stylish- i want to impress my colleges in university at the same time not endangering my life since it is slim i can carry it in town without attracting the suspicion of thugs.

  74. Number 2.
    “light, thin and stylish”
    The Ultrabook comes with all the features desired for any computing environment, BUT how the Ultrabook ‘PACKAGE’ the features into a light, thin and stylish design without compromising quality and effectiveness does it for me on the ultrabook….. I do not have to raise eyebrows on the streets with a huge device…. Aluminium does it >shiny(eye appeal), and durable. It is common knowledge on a tech device to offer process speed/security/’multicity’/ << but HOW Ultrabook puts this together into a LIGHT, THIN & STYLISH design, phew! Juuchini, just get me one already. *steps on the podium to receive award*

  75. i choose Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time –with the advancement of technology speed of operations count so much in every aspect of life to succeed in whatever endeavour.with an ultrabook with such a feature would be appropriate in good management of time since there is little processing time and help me in mantaining the required competitive advantage in entreprise field against the rivals in the same market niche.
    twitter-@musee_charles

  76. I go for number 5 – (High Processing Power). As a Tech-analyst i do analyse most Operating System depending on various types of System/Hardware specification that is onside with. My daily co-work surrounds me in virtualization technology to which i configure vast types of Operating systems on a single threaded machine. Reading through the lines, this simply tells how speed gives it a better possibility especially when running latest windows Operating system like the yet unveiled Windows 8 together with Arch LINUX which utilizes much of the system processes. I’ll be glad having this very LENOVO Intel Ultra-book which will sail my Virtualization Tech-World to prosperity. Thank-you.

  77. A mobile laptop with a high processing power would enable me to operate just as I would expect from a desktop.
    I am an undergraduate student. I frequently use heavy design softwares such as AutoCAD, LisCAD and ArchiCAD. These softwares require a high processing power for optimum jobs to be delivered within the set deadlines.

  78. An advertisement will make or break a product. As a copywriter I am the creator. I link market perception and ideologies with user expectation, marge it to budget and assure client of returns. Ideas come at the weirdest of time. And I need a laptop that will be awake as I sleep and boot faster than I can forget the idea. It might just be the million dollar idea or the only idea.

  79. Feature Number 4 (High Processing Power):

    Journalism is my profession;

    Shooting, capturing, editing, writing to discs, compressing & converting to various formats and uploading clips for news and features for television can all be successful if I have a High Processing Power (HPP) Machine.

    News fades out so fast such that if you do not finish shooting, capturing, editing, compiling, exporting, compressing, uploading and sending the clip in time, all your effort will be lost in this competitive field.

    Imagine having a funny machine that cannot multitask, your work will arrive in the studio when news has already started rendering your work fruitless. In fact the studio staff will click (nkt!) in that studio room leave alone mocking you.

    A HPP machine that is fast, light and that enables multiple applications at ago will enable me write the story script while capturing the video clip, edit while forwarding the script to the newsroom, render my work and convert it while running the File Transfer Protocal, forward the news clip as I burn the same to the disk for backup before any television reporter covering the same function.

    Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook, all this work is waiting for you, just get here soon.

    1. I should have said Feature number 5 but I guess I was too fascinated by this HPP feature until I forgot which number it was. Hahaha, call it going crazy over what technology can offer

  80. LIGHT,THIN AND STYLISH is my take
    I would go for the light thin and stylish feature which is highly compatible with my proffesion of Freelance photojournalism and news collector which involves alot of movement hence lighter,smaller load will go a long way in the easing of my everyday work,a factor which will further be enhanced by the above mentioned feature of the Lenovo Ideapad u300s Ultrabook

  81. #7. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System will be the best feature in my opinion talking from an experience of having my laptop stolen and losing data worth more than the value of the laptop itself. So I probably would love to use the Intel’s Anti-Theft to run my online business and keeping my data secure even if the laptop gets stolen God forbid. If I have this feature in my laptop, it will provide that “piece of mind” than every entrepreneur needs when running their online business.

  82. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System
    I am currently doing my masters and thus I attend classes in the evening. I use public transport and twice now I have been in a car jacking which has left me very very shaken especially when it comes to carrying anything valuable to school – despite the fact I would need a computer for some of my classes and assignments. With a computer that is high security and has the intel anti-theft system, it could be a big comfort to me and it would also help me work towards my thesis so that I can graduate sooner rather than later:-)

  83. You had me at … Light, Thin and Stylish –

    I am constantly on the move haggling between work and school, so naturally i work and study whenever and wherever possible. Because the intel ultra book is minimalist sizing and enables easy carrying its not only a snag fit into my hand bag but a snag fit into my lifestyle. And its an added plus that it weighs less than 1.5kgs, it means this lasy no longer lag around tones of weight that could ultimately injure my back:)

  84. Most impressive feature must be #7,the High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System. Laptops are very valuable possessions,and they hold delicate or personal information of their owners. They are also expensive gadgets that need to be well look-after and maintained. Cases of stolen laptops are rife around work places,leisure/recreational places,campus and even homes. Since not every laptop has an anti-theft system,owners encounter difficulties in trying to recover their laptops once stolen. The sensitive data/information on the laptop drives also gets lost since it is rendered useless to wherever the stolen laptop goes. This Intel Anti-Theft System gives the owner a probable chance to recover both the data and laptop as it is traceable since he/she still has control of the laptop remotely in case it is stolen. It also guarantees the owner the safety of data/information in the laptop’s hardisk as the anti-theft feature disables the hardisk once removed. So for me the ‘High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System’ wins it for me!! (No pun intended) 🙂

  85. My best feature is no. 7- High security with Intel anti-theft system. I have lost 3 laptops now with the last one 2 weeks ago. I lost my important documents including my 250-page school project, so i would die for anything that guarantees me security for my documents in the machine and machine itself. Other great features are just added advantage but my favourite about Levono UltraBook is anti-theft system.

  86. *** HIGH PROCESSING POWER>>>THIS THE BEST FEATURE THAT WOUND BE BENEFICIAL TO ME IN VARIOUS WAYS;
    *AM A STUDENT OF BCOM.WITH CLASS ASSIGNMENTS AND RESEARCH PAPER I WOULD EASILY DO THEM INSTANTLY WHILE TWEETING ON THE GO.I DO LYK MULTITASKING.I CAN TWEET,UPDATE FACEBOOK STATUS AND BLOG WITH ENHANCED HIGH PROCESSING POWER OF LENOVO IDEAPAD U300s ULTRABOOK.
    ** IT WILL REALLY TRANSFORM MY LIFE .NOW ITS A DREAM AND AM PRAYING INTEL GONNA FULFILL FOR ME.NOW JUST TO BOAST WITH THE PROCESSING SPEED OF AN IDEOS**sad*

  87. Having perfected the art of dodging attempts on my person and after losing my dv4 1430 in the process, the Ultrabook’s High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System really appeals to me. The shut down and remote activation capabilities will safeguard key client information that I may be working on at the moment and in this day, where legal practice is entirely computerised, I can store my entire ”paper life” on the Lenovo Ultrabook!

  88. Light, thin and stylish takes the cake for me because I’m sexy and I know it.

  89. High Specs! Being a developer I cherish mobility. I’m always on the move between meeting clients or other developers at conferences or brainstorming sessions hence I know ” A mobile laptop that with high processing capability and high specs normally found on larger desktops” definitely fits the bill 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!

  90. I love the high specs which make the ultra book a task oriented computer on steroids. At last we have a portable machine that doesn’t impose restrictions on how or where I work

  91. Feature #5 works it for me. The processing power is what I need. As a student and a developer, I have to multi-task on a number of applications,both running on the desktop and the web. The Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook offers all this and would be the perfect one for me. I need fast speeds,clear graphics rendering,high quality graphics editing and not forgetting that we need to unwind by watching a great movie. What else would offer this except the Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook,and who else to get it than Moffat.

  92. Feature #7:::High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System…Most other Laptops share almost the same features as this one but the antitheft feature makes it really unique especially in kenya where laptop theft is on the rise…data security is of great essence at this time and the laptop has just arrived in time to make it easier for us to ensure that our data will be safe and our laptops are safe.

  93. Being a student, a digital marketer and photographer, I’m constantly on the move and carrying along with me many things. My rucksack which has had to be sewn over time and again thanks to all the weight is evidence of this. With the light, thin and stylish Lenovo, I can reduce the amount of weight I walk around with on my back everyday (by atleast a kg from my current lappie) while saving some cash that would instead go to the cobbler!

  94. I am currently trying very hard to study for an exam on a samsung galaxy mini.!! Its inconveniencing in all ways imaginable! I really need that #LenovoUltraBook. With its “Thin, Light and Stylish” feature I can have all my numerous bulky medical books on soft copy and be able to carry them around with great ease. I can avoid the frequent back aches..& dont get me started on how ridiculous I look struggling to move around with 20kgs of books on my back! I dont just need A laptop.. I need an Intel Ultrabook (Lenovo U300). I need the high specs.. I need the high processing power.. I need the high security Intel Anti Theft System..all packaged into the highly portable UltraBook. & I need to stop bothering my friends & family to lend me their machines!

  95. As a construction manager, I require a computer that is portable and has a fast processor because of my out-of-office engagements. ‘No. 1 High Specs – A mobile laptop that with high processing capability and high specs normally found on larger desktops’ does it for me, the all inclusive high specs of the Lenovo UltraBook will help me in my daily computing as I : –
    1. Generate site spreadsheets, as I compute labour requirements, material & resource schedules e.t.c
    2. Go through working drawings in ArchiCAD & AutoCAD – both high render softwares that require high processing capability
    3. Make presentations to clients and consultants which means I don’t need a large desktop in all the construction sites I visit.
    I believe the ‘Lenovo UltraBook’ would be the perfect addition to my tools of trade.

  96. I ran a graphics design business i therefore i like that the Lenovo Ultrabook’s high processing power would come in handy given the scope of my work. i especially like the large or batch
    image editing operations that will enable me to turn out product effectively faster and more efficiently

  97. The lenovo ideapad u300s ultrabook is definately a game changer in my life! the change i have been waiting for.
    The high processing power is what i have been craving since i started on my business. Processing different tasks simultaneously has been my dream for a long time. Especially with the adobe packages (after effects, photoshop and illustrator)
    I also love gaming a lot and experiencing it from a laptop that can handle it well, its just breath taking! Please make my dream come true. I have done my part for expressing my wish 🙂 😀

  98. Of all the nice features of the Lenovo ideapad 300s ultrabook , what i love most is the high specs.
    Its 1.6 Ghz Intel core i5 2457m CPU with 4Gb RAM 128Gb ssd for the lower configuration and a 1.8 Ghz intel core i7 2677M processor with turbo boost to 2.90Ghz 4Gb RAM 256Gb ssd for the high end configuration, will surely help in snappier running and smooth running of multiple high memory applications and Games.
    Its battery life is worth commenting with heavy computing achieving a minimum of 4.75 hours and low usage of upto7 Hours. Furthermore the Lenovo Ideapad 300s has included the rapidcharge technology which achieves a charge from empty to above 50% in 30 minutes. This helps in areas where there is power outtage.
    The video performance is awesome, with a 13.3 inch screen with a resolution of 1366×768 , and a HDMI port for connecting with external video output devices, this ensures smooth visual output.
    Lastly the Lenovo Ideapad 300 s is equipped with RapidPrime SSD Technology which ensure a faster boot time of approximate 20 seconds, also heat management by using a Breathing Keyboard and Intel Advanced Cooling Technology.
    Thus the Lenovo Ideapad 300s ultrabook is better than most high end computers when it comes to specs and performance.

  99. Light, Thin and Stylish does it for me. I’ve always had a problem updating my blog and checking my mail since I’m on the road most of the time. With this, I could easily carry it in my handbag and be able to work and still catch up on social media even when in the rural areas.

  100. My best feature is No2.I love the Lenovo U300 because it is light,thin and stylish.I currently have a Hp pavillion dv7 which has a 17 inch screen.Although the laptop has high specs and processing power almost all my classmates at campus tell me it’s too big and heavy to carry around.I’d really like to win an Ultrabook since it’s minimalist
    sizing will enable
    easy carrying from home to campus and it can easily fit into my bag for easy carrying. The
    Ultrabook weighs in at less than1.5 Kilograms which will be easy to carry around and i also really like the sleek
    aluminum outer body.

  101. As KleosDev, I do Games Development, Web & graphic design: all of which need high specs, offered by the Lenovo Ultrabook, to deliver my work on time. I’ve got a desktop but running an AMD 5200+ 2.7ghz/ 2Gb ram that often dies on me in the middle of a AAA game or projects (especially when I’m due to deliver)… and often I’m forced to go to a cyber if I can’t borrow a laptop.

  102. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System-We all know Naiobi.Laptop muggers are all over and your laptop isnt safe at all,anywhere including your own house or car.I have lost two,not because I am careless,but people break into my ‘safe places’-for my laptop.

    Your laptop gets stolen and your trips to the service providers and police bacome just that-trips,fruitless trips.

    But here comes the Intel UltraBook,with the immunity every Nairobian would do with!Not only for me,but we all know we need security for our laptops-No matter how powerful they are on other specs,SECURITY comes at the top.

    The fact that a person cant steal my laptop and use it gives me a huge consolation,the fact that I can remotely juggle with it so the ‘harvesters of unploughed land’-and they are many-dont enjoy the fruit of my labour..and they may just return it does it or me.

    I need this type of laptop,ACTUALLY,this ONE!

  103. Very stylish and excellent specs like every part of this machine, its something I have been looking its got all the features I want.

  104. Feature number 2 does it for me -Light, Thin and Stylish.

    Where do i even begin, i am a Christian blogger who is currently serving in church and a part time student who never delievers her assignments on time,since well the laptop i use is a hp pavillion is not only heavy to carry home and around but i share it with other people in the office,so i really cant leave with it as i please, i am all about changing lives through my writting and i want to be in a position to do it often.

    I will be honest i may not know the full capacity of what this ultra-book can do but i will learn in the proces of changing one woman’s life at a time.

    Hannah

  105. The performance always comes first for me then the way it looks which are both exceptional.

  106. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System.It is said,safety first .This laptop is just amazing.At campus theft cases in the halls of residence are very common.This intel ultra book then becomes student friendly since theft risk is reduced.A friend of mine lost a laptop to date he has never recovered,wish his laptop had such a future.Our lecturer was carjacked and his valuables including a laptop stolen,wish his laptop had such a future to combat this.Intel ultra book is truly what a student like me is supposed to have to ensure smooth,secure and safe computing life and stay here at campus.Wish this amazing laptop can be mine.

  107. HIGH PROCESSING POWER! all i need because my work is extensive and i need to access the internet as soonest possible when required to i also love checking out videos online so i think this has to be the machine made just for me!

  108. for a freelancer and blogger who is always on the move like me, i need my computer to always be ready when i need to complete a task very fast or be there for me before a brilliant idea escapes my mind. thus i need it to boost very fast when i need it to, to be there for me by having a very long stand by time and to resume my tasks at the touch of a button. all this and more, in the levono ultrabook

  109. #5 High Processing Power!
    I’m in software development and Graphics design. I have always loved a super fast laptop since i hate dependence on the desktop in the office. I can’t carry work home since i cannot carry the desktop with me. If you gave me this laptop and from the specification above, i think i will now start carrying work home and i would reduce my software development life-cycle. Thanks Intel for your continued innovations and support.
    Regards Ngotho

  110. High processing power: As an IT Consultant, web developer and graphic designer my work entails heavy graphics usage using programs from the Adobe line photoshop, . Applications that I use, require a high end device like Lenovo U300, from rendering videos, enormous clients editing requirements such as designing banners. I constantly switch between applications and using this ultrabook.. i consider my problem solved. Running multiple applications in the background works for me and this wonderfully designed product from Intel fills the gap and separates me from the usual constant frustrations of my slow desktop…with Intel inside what else do I NEED.

  111. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System –
    This laptop is big on security and encoding of
    the motherboard and hard drive ensuring
    that
    it cannot be used if it is every stolen. Intel
    allows for remote shutdown and reactivation
    of
    this laptop by the user at any given time. It
    also
    monitors suspicious activity like multiple
    unsuccessful login attempts, disables a hard
    drive once it is removed, offers a ‘Good
    Samaritan’ message for easy contact upon
    recovery.
    FOLLOWING THE CURRENT STATE OF
    ECONOMY IN KENYA,IT WOULD COST ALOT
    ON LOOSING A GADGET ESP AN ULTRABOOK
    THEREFORE THE FEATURE OF high security
    with Intel Anti-theft System,IT WOULD MAKE IT
    EASY TRACK DOWN THE LOST GADGET DUE
    TO GOOD SAMARITAN MESSAGE AND ALSO
    PROVIDE INFORMATION SECURITY ON YOUR
    WORK INCASE OF INTRUSION,MODIFICATION
    OR ANY OTHER THREAT THROUGH THE
    ABILITY TO MONITOR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES
    since Information Security is not cryptography
    and “Whenever you have a secret, you have a
    vulnerability”

  112. High Processing Power – For a light laptop and a high processor it is the thing for me as i am a grafix designer and as ideas can come to you at any time so it will be useful to have something i can express ma ideas to the world and make the world a colourfull place.

  113. High Processing Power.
    As a student, the Intel Ultrabook will be like a ‘super book’ to me. High processing power! This will enable me to process, compress and access various applications. Ultrabook sure will impress me-and all those who will be lucky to lay their hands on one. The spreadsheet calculations will end my tribulations concerning complex spreadsheet calculations. As it operates just like a desktop, I will have no need to visit the cyber anymore-hard to decipher? Not anymore! And as it covers nearly every business scenario, I am sure it will see through School of Business and even when I enter the business world. Intel-Integrated Electronics, which other processor would I want inside? Its always Intel Inside-that’s how intelligent it is!

  114. High Processing Power – I’m a freelance web developer and I basically use computers to run web applications. It’s therefore not uncommon to find 30 flash-enabled browser tabs open in three different browsers on my netbook. This is on top of, say, 9 programs that I need to stay ON on the taskbar because they are usually for compression processes, large or batch image editing operations or fast decompression of compressed packages. And, as you can guess, I’m also a heavy downloader and uploader of stuff over the internet.

    Furthermore, I need most of these stuff up and running pronto when I sit down to do some work. So the poor thing is always either ON, on STANDBY or HIBERNATING, but never OFF. I guess this makes me what you called an “almost careless use’r’ of the operating system”.

    Compared with my current netbook, this ultrabook would do for me what Thika Super Highway has done for Nairobi… visibly smart and fast.

  115. What I love about this beautiful piece of technology……High Processing Power – This covers nearly every business usage scenario. Aside from the biggest
    video rendering operations, compression processes, large or batch image editing operations
    and most complex spreadsheet calculations the Ultrabook will be able to operate just as you would expect from a desktop. Multiple applications in the background with multiple flash-enabled browser
    tabs, fast decompression of compressed packages, 720p video editing and almost careless use of the operating system……na Bado! !!!????

  116. Latest Operating Systems- keeping up to date with the latest trends is my thing everyday and so this will be a dream come true.

  117. I love the fact that It’s light , thin & Stylish , i can carry it to any occassion…and i dont need an extra bag as it can fit in my bags together with some of my personal stuff.

  118. High Processing Power – rendering operations match the work I love to do with graphics. Studying architecture is a passion which is brought to fruition by the end product of image work and modelling that I take most of my free time working on. Doubling up with the journalistic work I predominantly do, the fact that the Ultrabook can run multiple applications in the background with multiple flash-enabled browser tabs, fast decompression of compressed packages is music to my ears…loads of research work for articles and also my blog would necessitate having a powerful machine like the Intel Ultrabook so I wouldn’t have to worry about whether my machine would handle everything I do on a close to 18hour a day basis. The fact that I love music as well and mix it on Virtual DJ both as a passtime and income earner would sum up why I need the Ultrabook in my life!

  119. High Processing Power – I’m currently working on a project that involves shooting and editing training videos for farmers. It takes me about 8 hours to edit one video on my current computer because it keeps hanging; the processing power isn’t so high. When I don’t have 8 hours, I cannot edit the videos to the farmers satisfaction. With the high processing power of the Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook, I can reduce the amount of time I spend on each video as well as produce better quality videos for farmer’s training sessions.

  120. The fact that I can switch it off remotely when stolen or in unknown hands gives security of data and data integrity too. Plus 1.5kg is easy to run with to a meeting without weighing n wearing myself down.

  121. No. 5 definitely. I am a programmer and I am constantly running VMware inside windows 7 environment. My desktop drags as hell and I have to give it time to load crucial programs

    Again I am also an avid gamer….am sure Diablo 3 would look mighty beautiful on this. We have a gamers group in FB and we are forever discussing hardware. Maybe you should drop in and say hi 😀

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/8878816793/

    No.4 too…..Everybody wishes their laptop could boot in under 10seconds flat!

  122. I love its high processing power, being a 2nd year computer science student, its high processing power will be of great use during
    my practicals.With its intel dual core i5 2677M (1.80GHZ w/turbo boost to 2.90GHz,4mb L3 cache) it will be very easy to run my applications in the windows 8 operating system
    as well as create different software without any running hitches. I hope i get a taste of this graetness as we enhance technology in Africa.Cheers!

  123. Light, Thin and Stylish – Minimalist sizing that enables easy carrying and snug fit into many modern bags that are designed for easy carrying. The Ultrabook’s screen size varies between 11 and 13 inches. It weighs in at less than 1.5 Kilograms and comes in a sleek aluminum outer body.i’d prefer this as i am a medicine student and got a lot of books to carry,attending classes at different rooms in the university.thereby it would go a long way in reducing me the weight preventing me from getting a back problem .its aluminium body too ensures its not fragile even if it falls down as i move around in school.

  124. who ever get a @LenovoUltrabook get to know the definition of computing
    no.5 make the #LenovoUltrabook to be ma choice.although it has amazing features i jst love it
    Being a university student taking computer science who gets to run a minimum of 7 programs at the same time make it go without saying .#LenovoUltrabook is all i need.i cannot imagine doing graphics, programming,srufng, music my scientific calculculations at the same time wow!
    #LenovoUltrabook goes hard in hard with our vision 2030
    i cant wait to have it.

  125. High processing power does it for me. I have just started programming and i have realised i will need a netbook that can handle the workload i endure and i am certainly sure this ultrabook will do the job just fine.

  126. Spec number 4 appeals to me most. As a student and a programmer, i need to safe time shuffling from school to programming. The faster boot time (unbelievably booots in 10 seconds) and connection to WIFI in 5 seconds after standby is something i would die for.

  127. No.5
    High processing power for the #LenovoUltrabook favors me due to many different application softwares that i use and make the computer too slow such that i can go for nature’s call and come back and find a ‘hanging’ machine. Especially when editing high density videos and photos to satisfy my customer needs.
    With idea-pad am very sure i’ll handle many applications simultaneously where i’ll be compressing and decompressing files while still editing a web platform since am a web designer. Its flash browser tabs will make me a smart and fast reliable designer.

  128. I would buy it for its High Processing Power . I been using computers for almost half of my life now. High processing power has been my benchmark each time I upgrade to a new machine. I love a machine that lets me accomplish numerous task at the same time. In my line of media production, we require the very top of the range processors and ram that can handle the heavy programs needed in editing. Never has there been a machine that I can go to work with in the morning, do what I need to do all day and still take the work home to complete without worrying about its processor power. Thats why I love the whole idea of Ultra Books, they are fast, have amazing storage capacity and have high processing power. This ensures that jobs are done quickly and I get time to indulge in my other passion…playing video games which Ultra Books do so well. #LenovoUltrabook is all I need

  129. High Processing Power:
    I do a lot of things online in order to earn a living which include web design, SEO work, SEM, database building, transcribing, video editing (for clients), uploading videos, creating and publishing content, holding meetings online etc. so I work with heavy applications such as Adobe macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe flash, CS5, xgen seo, Camtasia (for screen capture & video editing), Photoshop, Skype, logmein, SalesForce etc.

    Most of the time I try to run many of these applications at the same time where I open multiple windows simultaneously while trying to achieve the same goal, FASTER only for them to fail me miserably. My biggest problem has been with the processing power of the machines that I have used before. I have tried to upgrade RAM, add more virtual/hard disk memory but the resulting performance still hasn’t been that good.

    At the same time I cannot afford a super processing machine at this time. I personally believe that getting this super Ultrabook will make a big difference in my daily computing life because now I can run as many applications as I would need and deliver more high quality work on less time! Thanks

  130. I am an IT consultant who works on the move alot, therefore prefer a light and easy to carry around work tool. since i also use cloud storage, accessing necessary work information wont be a challenge. this is definitely portability and convenience at its best. thanks for making me a winner…

  131. High Processing Power – This covers nearly every business usage scenario. Aside from the biggest video rendering operations, compression processes, large or batch image editing operations and most complex spreadsheet calculations the Ultrabook will be able to operate just as you would expect from a desktop. Multiple applications in the background with multiple flash-enabled browser tabs, fast decompression of compressed packages, 720p video editing and almost careless use of the operating system.
    As a web developer & Graphic Designer The high processing power is key in managing the robust Development Environment that I use.

  132. as a solution architect my job involves lots of solutions modelling using cpu hungry applications such as ARCH-CAD, visio,salesbuilder etc. with high processing power feature, resilience reliability,and performance is guaranteed. cases like hanging and time wasting am facing currently will be gone for good.

  133. 4. Faster Boot Times, Longer Standby and Speedy Resume to Task Time.
    Being on the move between the hotel chain I work for, I would love a laptop that can last long between transit times and this promises just that.
    Documents, spreadsheets, work emails are demanding as it is and easy and fast access without having to go offline or shut down and wait an eternity for log on, this would be brillant as a workmate and aptly functional too!

  134. High Processing Power
    – As a programmer, I need machine powerful enough to run my applications & mobile for my on-site client demonstrations. A laptop powerful enough to run 720p video editting would be perfect.

  135. High Processing Power:
    Am a graphics designer and by default I need to be rendering lots of stuff, videos, scenes etc. as well as run other design applications in the background. Picture a scenario where I have Photoshop, After Effects and maybe 3dsMax open all at once and have to render something on AE, but then having to shut down other applications because my machine at work(which by the way are not that bad on performance) becomes too slow. That and the reason that I don’t have my own laptop. This would be the best gift I could get

  136. 5. High processing power! I need plenty of juice for interior design 3D modelling and rendering for my clients.

  137. Ok guys really? I see you really want I become like the slim stylish screaming girl of my dreams (and my mind…almost going MAD)…light, thin and stylish. Having one will force me to work to making my body light and thin for a stylish outlook as I will be looking at its sleek, stylish and ultra thin body. Couple that with a few inches off my waist (11inches) and hips (13inches)and I will definitely weigh less that I am now. So you see I deserve that ultrabook as it will make my brain work easier and my body work harder to that sleek outer body 🙂

  138. Light, Thin and Stylish
    As a blogger I need to carry my laptop at all times. For convenience, the laptop needs to be light. I currently use a netbook. It however has a few limitations that the ultrabook will eliminate.
    First, it has faster processing. This will allow me to blog faster research faster.
    Second the netbook is 10″. Inconvenience arises when working on a big project. The Lenovo ultrabook will provide convenience.
    Computing with the Lenovo U300 Ultrabook will change my blogging life.

  139. The high processing power of the Lenovo Ultrabook with the biggest video rendering operations will enable me to explain automobile engineering concepts to my students while out on the tracks. Just the gadget I need to automate my training schedule.

  140. High processing power- A definite winner.
    I hate (!!!) the process of compressing and decompressing files on my little laptop but being surrounded by print and paperwork, who has a choice? Spreadsheet calculations too, God!! They finally have something to help me with that? More reason to love numbers!!!! This sweet little thing will make accounting easy for me and save me from my daily frustrations. It’s like heaven heard me pray and made a gadget to my specifications. This ultrabook is so… me!

  141. #5:
    Languishing Ends Now Over Value Orchestration (LENOVO), That is the High Processing Power (HPP) from this LENOVO Ideapad that will give me a cool news treat from the field and put me ahead of the competitors due to multitasking ability of the machine.

  142. Light, Thin and Stylish- Am a PIE- Yes-you can have me; what this simply means is my brand promise and slogan/ tag line is am Passionate , Innovative and Excellent in all I do.
    As a blogger, social media specialist and a marketer I do a lot of free lance work in Nairobi, reading, research and writing online. Since that involves carrying a laptop around to either pitch for new business or present work and reports I need a laptop that is light and convenient to move around with and since the Lenovo Ultra-book weighs in at less than 1.5 Kilograms; its portability endears me to it. I like the sleek aluminum outer body because its so cool-as a generation Y consumer I love products that define me, the ultra-book fits into my personal brand perfectly, I love brands that show my life ambitions and vision and due to the aspirational nature of the middle class (which I am part of) I need a machine that projects the right image-a trendy appeal and that Ish factor we all crave to have. Ooh I forgot to mention earlier I love my work and I love the Lenovo Ultrabook. Make me a winner!

  143. High processing power carries the day on my part. Running resource intensive tasks and applications requires using top notch machines mostly desktops thus eliminating the chances of developing applications when on the move. Intels’ Ultra book combines potability with high-end performance, making it the perfect choice for me!

  144. i will go for faster boot times,longer standby and quick resume to task time.being a medical student,reading is part of my daily routine,day and night.the thin,light and stylish feature is an added advantage since i can carry it anywhere i go thus reducing the load of voluminous books that i need.this ultrabook is just what i have been seeking and by winning it,you would not only help in creating a better doctor but also a healthy nation,with easy access to vast knowledge an research material from its speedy wifi connections,all my work with be fast and efficient.i love this product.

  145. 7. High security with intel Anti-Theft system
    I am a student at UoN. I live in the campus shared hostels so security is a big deal for me.
    Fist student usually steal research proposals,materials,desserts etc for their own use or to sell other students or outsiders. Because the ultra book ensures remote shutdown then it will be a big boost to ensure such sensitive material is not found when the ultra-book is stolen. Secondly friends especially those who dont have a computer borrow others for various uses. Some however end up doing other things that are unwarranted.if it monitors suspicious circumstances then there will be a relief that even if it is borrowed nobody will do anything other than that which he/she has asked to do.
    Lastly due to the movement from classes to lecture rooms, lecture halks, library, hostel, mess etc you can easily forget your ultra book somewhere. The good samaritan message will be the easiest and most convinient way to be contacted in a university that has over twenty thousand students.

  146. All other factors greatly considered, the fact that the Ultrabook is Light, Thin and stylish does it for me. As a blogger, poetry tutor, programmer, final year computer science student at JKUAT Main Campus and Google Student Ambassador, I am always on the move, juggling between intense classes, hackathons, meet ups, making presentations, tutoring children on poetry et al. It would be amazing to have such a powerful and beautiful laptop with me as I work and with just 1.5 kilos on it, fatigue would be the least of my worries. I’m a girl and hey, it is amazing that I can fit the laptop into my bag no need to carry a back pack that screams ‘laptop’ everywhere I go 🙂 Plus, its processing speeds, OS, AT system and other specs are irresistible and a perfect match for its outlook! 🙂

  147. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System- Ooooo hell! Havin been a victin of laptop theft that containes sensutive, personal, and my final project that forced me not to graduate i felt as if my life came to a stand still.This feature will aid me to be assured that my data and most precius information is guarded despite mitigating loss of the precius Lenovo Ultrabook. This Lenovo Ultrabook…..uuuuuuuh grate

  148. Light, stylish and thin…what more could a girl ever ask for? What will all the rage in town to maintain the right posture and gait? The Lenovo Ultra Book has my petite frame in mind given that it only weighs less than 1.5kg.Its lean and sleek design allows me to fit it into a stylish bag and make the mad dash to my next destination. The Lenovo Ultra Book definitely keeps me techno savvy without breaking a sweat

  149. For me, Number 7 attracts me the most. You would choose High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System too if a pickpocket in a matatu snatched your laptop from inside your bag without you noticing, like it happened to me last week at githurai. I was shocked to realise that am carrying an empty bag after alighting the matatu. Am still DUMBFOUNDED!!!!!

  150. Number 7 does it for me, High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System . In line to my research activities in the media, some of the data collected for analysis is very crucial and perishable. A slight tampering of data by anyone (my siblings) would render my analysis USELESS, plus, travelling alot in different areas, rural and urban sometime one is forced to be in a place with very little security. this feature caters for that because it ” monitors suspicious activity like multiple unsuccessful login attempts, disables a hard drive once it is removed, offers a ‘Good Samaritan’ message for easy contact upon recovery”. Im sold

  151. All the 7 totally amazing features will work for me! But at the top of the list will definitly be #7–>High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System.. this is because I’m a student, and laptop theft especially is on alarming rise! even when you are not in the lookout for just 2 minutes, yourlaptop can go missing.

    this is thus a very vital and significant feature I can like a laptop I use to have, it solves a greater part of the worries I have of losing my projects, both class and personal work…

    The most attractive part of this feature is definitly the Remote shutdown and Reactivation by the user-owesomness right there!

  152. Fast SSD storage: They say time is money, Intel Ultrabook goes a step further in making sure you spend it wisely. The (Solid State Drive) SSD storage allows for persistent data storage giving the user quick, Usain Bolt quick, access to data. Besides, it’s less susceptible to shock (KPLC power outages got nothing on you), is silent (hums like a Lamborghini), draws less power (can last for 4+ hours) and has lower latency (increased performance).

    Why SDD over HDD? HDD is the donkey while SDD is the pony of technology. Donkey? Really? Yes, HDD gives you more storage capacity just like a donkey will fetch you water, but SDD is the ultimate package of speed and efficiency. But that (limited storage) shouldn’t be a deal-breaker as one can always buy an external HDD. Talk of killing three birds with one stone.

    If you are willing to spend on faster performance and don’t mind limited storage capacity (256GB) or can work around it (buy external HDD) then the Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook is your machine.

  153. (2) Light,thin and stylish : let’s face it, no one wants a laptop that is the size of a waffle maker.
    Thin so that It fits well and easily in my back pack
    Stylish something I can put on my desk so that my fellow employees can envy and increase my chance of becoming employee of the month lol!.
    Light so that it can even last a whole day in my backpack without me feeling fatigue.
    Then the Lenovo Ultrabook will be an angel sent from heaven.

  154. High Specs does it for me: I’m an engineer of sorts (read: jack of all trades). My ideal machine has to be fast, lightning fast, as I often have to boot my machine in the middle of the night, with one eye open, to send an email.

    The Ultrabook definitely gives value for its price. At Kshs 100,000, I will probably be thinking of buying a “kaploti” and not a laptop. But looking at it as an investment, I will be able get more work done, and done quickly, make my clients happy and we both know how a happy client likes to sp£nd! We talking of being able to buy that “kaploti”, a car and even employ someone to help with the work! Ladies and gentlemen, that’s what is called EFFICIENCY.

    Thusly for me, the Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook is just the ultimate machine. More work done, happy clients and more cash flow. BAZINGA!

  155. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System –
    My laptop was stolen, and with this quality, i am assured that no one will make use of my laptop once they steal in.
    And also for unauthorised people who want to access my information from my machinme

  156. In addtion to all the specs listed, High processing power will do it for me, as web developer I run virtualisation software on my Lenovo T500 Thinkpad and working on the main OS with the virtual machine is sometimes migrane inducing affair. But with the Lenovo Ideapad U300s Ultrabook, no more migraines or a recceding hairline coz of the slowness.

  157. Hi, I don’t exactly work for the NSIS nor any other highly secretive organisation, but I do carry at times confidential data and privileged correspondences, therefore, the high security specifications for this machine make it an ideal portable office, which truth be told, is why this machine was built in the 1st place..

  158. Number 5. High Processing Power caught my eye shook my nerves a lil bit with some tinge of excitement.
    Am a student and at my age where everything is digital and am always spoilt for choice for what to do. I have this thing where I tend to try out a lot of things and a good laptop can really do me good and get me access to a lot opportunities. Plus the fact that I game a lot, the high processing speed does it for me.

    In my undecided state, I have tried my hands on deejaying, video editing, website development and now my hands are tied up in blogging. Also as an engineering student I use AutoCAD, OpenGL, and develop data management systems. Always, I have a problem because some of these stuff requires that my computer has a lot of processing power. Now I realize that apart from fulfilling all these, the Ultrabook™ Inspired by Intel; Ultraslim, Ultrapowerful, Ultrafast laptop not only does all these with immense power, I also get additional powers. Talk of SUPERSUPERPOWER. I love that I can highly multitask. I can listen to music while playing a game. What else would a guy like me need other than Ultraultimate speed.

    Love Intel and love what you guys are doing bringing tech to Kenya. Only way we can achieve to be techsavvy. (VISION 2030)

  159. I want this baby so bad..! coz i can actually call it “My Baby” without people making comments like “that big thing?!” I still root for the Thin Light and Stylish feature because its almost impossible to find all those magnificent features packed into such a small machine. It’s simply perfect!

  160. being a ultrafast computer it will help Me as a remote sensing and g.I.s student to complete my work fast and also its slimness ensures portability hence I can work anywhere

  161. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System:
    A laptop can be one’s diary where one has very sensitive information stored, be it our everyday activities or even business ideas that could change the world. just the knowledge that no one would be able to use it in case stolen, no matter how good they are with computers is enough for me to have the Ultrabook.

  162. Light, thin & stylish wins it for me, hands down….. My current laptop ( darling dell) is huge and heavy to boot….Worse still, I have to carry it to work with me daily, and use it to attend countless meetings on any given day… Living far from work and having to connect four times total while carrying my laptop in a day is pretty cumbersome for me.. The downside is, i’ve developed major pains on my shoulder, thanks to having to ferry my laptop around on a daily basis…This Lenovo would definitely make my life easier & my day to day more productive…laptop gods, please make my dream come true.

  163. No 1.High Specs
    I produce music beats and my computer’s motherboard spoilt last month and i have not been able to get any work done due to lack of funds to buy a new computer.My old computer was really struggling to handle the stuff i was doing since it was a bit old andmusic production needs a high spec computer and it was really frustrating.So please,Juuchini, make my dream a reality….

  164. Wow, High Specs mean something to me being in market access and international trade in terms of the functionalities availed by the idea-pad. Its faster boot times as well as fast processing speeds mean that not only can I switch on an off efficiently and at ease, but coast through a multitude of tabs, platforms and operating systems at the blink of an eye stealthy without losing time between all flexibilities. It only adds more aesthetically that it is stylish and thin, easily portable, easy to hide and light weight should i be in areas that i would want to whip out my machine and change the world through my fingertips. All these are barely the reason that this piece of work lends itself through various daily functionalities as an amazing horse powered beauty of a game-changing machine.

    Why would I want this? Because of the value! The price $1200 speaks volumes about what hidden gems the Ultra Lenovo Ideapad hides and can harness. They say “You are only as good as your tools”- Its also said “Ideas change the world” . This ideaPad is a gamechanger – an idea that IS a powerful tool.. and ONLY for $1200!! shows the value i hold my self, my work, my efforts.. by associating my output with the monetary value placed upon this Premium brand offering- the Ultra Lenovo Ideapad.

  165. High Processing Power – I would benefit immensly from this laptop’s capabilities as it would actually replace 2 machines that use. My netbook is for light tasks and browsing especially when I travel (which is all the time). I also use desktop for heavy stuff such as editing AVCHD footage and working with photoshop. If one machine could replace 2, isn’t that a contribution to a greener world?

  166. 1 does it for me. High Specs – A mobile laptop that with high
    processing capability and high specs
    normally found on larger desktops.

    We all look at the specs of any gadget before we purchase it, getting such high specs in such a tight package, I couldn’t ask for more.

  167. High Security with Intel Anti-Theft System – This laptop is big on security and encoding of the motherboard and hard drive ensuring that it cannot be used if it is every stolen. Intel allows for remote shutdown and reactivation of this laptop by the user at any given time. It also monitors suspicious activity like multiple unsuccessful login attempts, disables a hard drive once it is removed, offers a ‘Good Samaritan’ message for easy contact upon recovery.
