Lenovo is branching out into the consumer retail PC market, showing a flair for design with its new line of IdeaPad notebooks--just in time for next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The first model, available beginning in January, is the IdeaPad Y510, a 15.4-inch wide-screen notebook. It comes in black, with a linenlike textured lid. The screen lacks a bezel, giving it a wider area for viewing, and above the keyboard is a touch pad that has different multimedia controls, depending on which application is being used. Other features include an integrated camera with facial-recognition software, Dolby sound with four speakers and a subwoofer, and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
