New Lenovo 12.5-inch IdeaPad U260 ultraportable available monday

Ultraportable laptops are all the rage these days especially with the release of the new Macbook Airs. I've always felt that a laptop should be as portable as possible, while a desktop should have the muscle and screen real estate.  The Lenovo IdeaPad U260 is the latest in what is quickly becoming a crowded ultra portable market.  The laptop has a unique screen size at 12.5-inches, it will be the only laptop on the market with those screen dimensions.  Inside it has a Core i3, along with 4GB of ram and a 320GB hard drive.  It is .71-inches thick and weighs in at 3lbs, the casing is cut from a single piece of magnesium-aluminum alloy.  It will have integrated Bluetooth, two USB 2.0 ports, VGA and HDMI outputs.  The battery will be 4 cells, which leaves a little to be desired but should be solid with the low voltage processor.  There will also be an all glass trackpad and a leather palm rest.  Lenovo went with some pretty interesting colors.  The press shots show a red-orange, and a pinkish-brown color.   Pricing starts at $895.  I am wondering if there will be an option for an SSD, a bigger battery, or different processors.  I guess we will have to wait until Monday for all the details.  Check back then for more.
