    Is anyone else interested in the U260? Has anyone ordered one or even better, had a chance to use one first hand?

    I'm close to pulling the trigger but I've yet to see any reviews and there's two things that I'm a little hesitant about:
    1. Keyboard - I l like the chicklet keyboard but I have zero tolerance for any keyboard flex.

    2. During a chat session, a Lenovo rep told me the U260 did not have a user replaceable battery. Since it's only rated at 4 hours, this seems like a deal killer - especially since I would use this much of the time as a portable media device.

    Thoughts?

    The U260 hasn't been out long enough to really gain any traction.

    I'd get a X series and do the AFFS mod, but that's not for everyone.

    i think the target market for the U260 laptop are people whom are more style conscious... it is a niche market, and the laptop is priced to target that niche.
