Lenovo IdeaPad U400

The Lenovo IdeaPad U400 extends their designer-look IdeaPad U260 ultralight notebook and U300s ultrabook into a more mainstream size. This 14" notebook is indeed very stylish, unique looking and lightweight at 4.36 pounds. It's in a laptop segment that's not very crowded: a highly portable machine that's not tiny and not underpowered. It runs on full second generation Intel Core i CPUs rather than ULV low powered CPUs, and it has an optical drive and switchable graphics. Its nearest competitors are the less stylish but capable Dell XPS 14z and the new Samsung Series 7 Chronos notebook in terms of features and price (around $900 for the 2.4GHz Core i5 with switchable Intel HD and AMD Radeon HD6470M graphics).

The Lenovo brings more metal to the table with their aluminum unibody design. The surface is sandblasted then anodized for texture and durability. It's well put together and you'll like it if looks count in your shopping decision. The U series laptops are designed to look like a bound journal book, and it's a clean and distinctive look that's not flashy or gaudy. No, it's not a MacBook Pro clone. The notebook features Lenovo's "breathable keyboard" design, and it takes in air from the rear end (under the robust display hinge area) and shoots it out the left rear side. The keyboard area never gets hot, nor does the wrist rest zone. The bottom gets warm but not uncomfortably hot. Lenovo uses the fan aggressively to keep things cool. There are no vents on the bottom, so your bed, pillow or an ample belly aren't off limits with respect to cooling and ventilation.

What to pack: Going light doesn't have to mean going withoutMost people, however, are not ultra-light packers and often worry when they read the packing lists of one, viewing such lists as a little unrealistic.

Keep Hiking Shoes Lightweight

Many examples of today’s lightweight footwear for hikers accommodate extensive custody for feet and ankles, even when you’re carrying a massive multiday backpack. Our man's and female testers tried out a stretch of hiking shoes recently, hiking over Klahhane Crest in the Olympics, along the Wonderland Below in Mount Rainier Civil Deposit, and through the nitty-gritty of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. We carried kit weights ranging from 20 to 60 pounds, and encountered everything from well-maintained trails to pathless routes through craggy remains of d zones. We scrambled up talus slopes and through extraverted fields of snow.
