Laptop seen in FCC filing

At the Consumer Electronics Show in January, Lenovo introduced the U31 laptop, a 13-incher the Chinese company said it did not plan to bring to the North American market. A recent filing with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), however, seems to suggest otherwise.
According to Liliputing, the 13-inch laptop cropped up in documents Qualcomm Atheros filed with the FCC recently. Therefore, while this could be an indication that the U31 is headed toward U.S. shores, there is no guarantee that this is indeed the case.
The U31 starts at $499 and can be configured with up to a Core i7 Broadwell processor, Nvidia GPU (optional), up to 8GB of RAM and a maximum of 1TB hybrid storage (or 500GB HDD storage, or 256GB SSD). It boasts a full HD 13.3-inch display. Watch out, though: the Windows 8.1-running laptop may end up getting sold as the Lenovo S31 in some markets.
