Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

What we have enough of are 15.6" screens with 1366x768 resolution.

I really want them to push out a nice 12'' Ultra Portable that is thin and functional, low cost, and good battery life. (Lenovo specifically)

They have introduced a version of the 13.3" U350 with a 1.3GHz SU4100 Dual-Core processor and 8-cell battery for $649....pretty darn close!

And there's an 11.6" U150 in the pipeline, at least for some markets....

Not bad, but those low resolutions are a no-go on such a large laptop...

The U350, U450 have been out for quite some time now.
The U150 was spotted some weeks ago, and the U550 is new.

Photos of the 11.6" U150 are shown on the Lenovo U.S. website- check out the 'Features', 'Comparison' and 'Gallery' tabs to see more details. LINK

There are also dual-core configurations of the U350 and U450 shown!
