The 13.3-inch Lenovo IdeaPad U350 will weigh around 3.5lbs and will have a thickness of less than 1-inch.

The IdeaPad U350 will give you the choice of a Core 2 Solo, Pentium ULV or Celeron processor, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 500GB of HDD space. Your IdeaPad U350 will also come with the OneKey™ Rescue System to help recover data if it becomes corrupted.
