Quite clearly, the Lenovo IdeaPad has more power available, thanks to the faster processor. Same amounts of RAM though.
Winner!
 
 
 
Intel HD Graphics 3000

Tie!
Ultrabooks arent meant for gaming. At the moment, the focus is on power, sleekness and good battery life. However, we do think that gaming will be the focus of manufacturers soon.
Tie!

Solid State Drive means you can resume Windows from the Sleep state within seconds. Startup time is down to a dozen seconds. General OS performance will be snappy as well. No need to envy the MacBook Air users anymore!
Tie!

Again, it is a tie. These displays are HD, and will be quite good for multimedia playback.

Too close to call!
Grudgingly, we have to agree with the spec sheet and give the award to the IdeaPad, more so because it is available in multiple colours. But cant discount the fact that the Folio looks stunning!
Too close to call!
 
 
 
69990
Price (Rs)
67990
 
We wouldn’t really attach too much significance to the Rs 2000 price difference between the two - market forces will ensure that the final price at the store will be almost similar.
