The Lenovo U310 represented a LOT of value when it first came out. It was under $500 for an Ultrabook which was UNHEARD OF at the time. Its decently lightweight compared to some laptops but with sturdy aluminum construction (similar design to a MacBook Pro). I got this laptop for a steal on the used market and have used it for a while. That being said it is rather dated on some of its features that I will point out below. Pro's: M-Sata SSD (SSD Cache memory). Came with 32GB but I upgraded to 128GB. Made the entire user experience MUCH faster and able to handle many more tasks simultaneously. Also use the SSD for an OS drive. Decent I5 processor for this price range but did run a bit warm (Ivy Bridge issues) GREAT looks aesthetic design similar to a MacBook pro with 1/4 the cost. Size is GREAT for travel and slips into many small bags easily.13.3 inch screen, around .6 inch thickness. More ports than other ultrabooks, gigabit ethernet LAN, 2 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0, SD reader, etc Charger and cord are fairly small Mouse/Touch pad are really good compared to most. Also very similar to MacBook's. Cons: Battery life isn't great -around 6 hours of idle, 2 hours or less of web browsing on full charge Motherboard/Memory is limited to 4GB of single channel, single dim DDR3 RAM Not easy to remove HDD, memory, access motherboard. Have to remove entire back panel. No backlit keyboard (Huge deal to me) No Bluetooth (Also a huge deal breaker for me) Can get warm if not being used on a solid surfaceRead full review

The built in GPU on this has known issues and stops working. You get a totally black screen on boot, no backlight, nothing. It will not work with external monitor via HDMI since the GPU is toast. These is now way to to replace or fix the GPU since it's integrated. You'll have to replace the motherboard, $50 minimum for used.
