"ThinkPads have been highly regarded almost as the defacto notebook of choice for corporate or professional types, but they didn't always appeal to mass market, mainstream consumers or enthusiasts. At this year's CES however, Lenovo showed off a trio of notebooks designed to do just that.

Lenovo's IdeaPad line of mobile computers is comprised of products ranging from a sleek, ultra light 11.1" designer notebook, to a beefy 17" DTR model with options that cater strictly to hardcore gamers."
