Hardware Description

The IdeaPad U450p was launched in August 2009.TechRadar UK praised the laptop for performance, build quality, and inclusion of an optical drive.Although the review stated that “some of the chassis panels flex under moderate pressure”, it was indicated that “realistically this shouldn't prove too much of durability issue, however”.The design was also noted: instead of a glossy design, a mottled, checkered design was used instead, which did not get scratched or dirty easily.
