Much like the clickpad on the Z, the U's touch surface feels "loose," moving around noticeably in the chassis when you tap on it. This invariably causes the cursor to jump, making your taps not register or causing you to click on something you didn't want. This is a real and nagging problem with Lenovo machines and not a one-off defect which gets miraculously fixed now and then, then returns a few months later to its production laptops, time and time again.
The screen is a disaster on a whole other level. While the resolution is fine, the actual quality of the screen is dismal. Dim, blurry, and difficult to discern unless you're looking at it dead on, it would be wholly dismissable if not for the highly accurate ten-point multitouch feature, which worked flawlessly in my testing. If I could actually see what I was tapping on, well, that would be better. The U's in a difficult position: On the other hand, anyone looking for a true ultrabook experience — power and usability without sacrificing portability — better machines can be had for just a few hundred bucks more.
I know which decision I'd make.

I was looking for a travel machine with reasonable battery life, a smaller form factor, enough storage, and a readable screen for spreadsheets and documents.
This is it. I have had no trouble, and have been pleasantly surprised at how much I have come to rely on the touch screen. I will always get a touch screen from now on. I find the screen to be very readable, although reading it in the sun is not all that you might like. The truly easy volume and brightness controls in place of the function keys are truly useful.
You can also easily shift between your open programs by pressing what would be the F8 key. This is very, very useful if you are switching between Word and email, for example. The function key icons are quite self-explanatory. The actual "functions" are available by simultaneously pressing the FN key, but they are hardly used any more.
I love the backlit keyboard - will always get that in the future, even for my desktop machine. Two caveats:
