Lenovo also included its Enhanced Experience 3 technology which enables up to 40% faster Windows 7 boot ups from non-optimized devices.
While the U310 will uses the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU, the U410 will have a discrete GPU from Nvidia, the GeForce 610M with 1GB of VRAM. Both IdeaPads will also feature Wireless Display (WiDi) support. Lenovo is stating around 7-9 hours of battery life in a single charge.
