IdeaPad is a line of consumer-oriented laptop computers from Lenovo.
The IdeaPad laptops were announced in January 2008. The first three models in the product line were the Y710, the Y510, and the U110. Some of the features that defined these first three models were widescreens, VeriFace facial recognition, frameless screens, touch controls, and Dolby speaker systems.
The IdeaPad design marked a deviation from the business-oriented ThinkPad laptops, towards a more consumer-oriented look and feel. Among these changes were a glossy screen and the absence of the traditional ThinkPad TrackPoint.

The IdeaPad laptop models currently available from Lenovo are the G Series, S Series, V Series, Y Series, U Series, and Z Series.
