Lenovo will also expand its line of IdeaPad consumer notebooks, which it launched at CES last year. This time around it will debut the new Y-series.
The series includes three new models, including the Y650, a 16-inch notebook that the company says is the lightest and thinnest in its class at 1-inch thick and 5.6 pounds.
The Y650, which will start at around $1,200, will come equipped with a multi-touch touchpad and an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the screen's brightness.
Lenovo will also use CES to offer a refresh of its S10 netbook, which the company launched last August.
The low-cost, ultra-portable category is shaping up to be one of the hottest of 2009, and Lenovo will have to play catch up. According to DisplaySearch, the company ranked tenth in third-quarter netbook shipments.
