Lastly, both the A and B series feature Lenovo's Rescue System 3.0, a crucial tool for consumers today as it offers a painless way to backup and recover data. At the touch of the F2 function button, users can restore their Windows OS and entire hard disk drive to factory settings and recover their data. U Series: Another new addition, the sleek and stylish new IdeaPad U series caters to the fashionista in all of us. Each of the new models - the IdeaPad U165 and U260- offer ultra-portable, light designs and long battery life to allow travel-loving consumers to stay entertained and in touch no matter where life takes them. The clean and sophisticated appearance of the redesigned U series is made possible by its "U" shaped outline inspired by a closed book lying on its side, while its textured aluminum1 top cover adds a further touch of style and class to its elegant design.
