Lenovo IdeaPad U165 comes with AMD processors inside

on 05/17/2010, filed in Home > Computers

Lenovo’s new IdeaPad U165 will ship with AMD processors within, but we are still in the dark as to the kind of low power AMD chips that will see action inside. We do know that Lenovo has taken the step to group the notebook with the IdeaPad U160 on its product page, and that points toward the U165 and U160 carrying the same case design and perhaps share some features as well by all probability. It really depends on which camp you’re on – U160 are for Intel fans, while folks who rock to AMD can check out the U165.
