Netbook Review UK

Lenovo’s new netbook, the IdeaPad S10-3s looks alot like their current IdeaPad S10-3.  And that’s because the S10-3s has the same basic specs, a chiclet-style keyboard and touchpad with integrated left and right buttons – just like the S10-3. So what are the differences?  Well, the most noticeable is that the IdeaPad S10-3s features a slightly modified case design with rounded corners -  a bit like the older S10-2, but more significantly, the new model is available with more configuration options that aren’t available on the S10-3, including:

• CPU: Intel Atom N450 or N470
• Display: 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel or 1280 x 720 pixel
• Memory: Up to 2GB
• OS: Windows 7 Starter, Windows XP
• Storage: 160GB, 250GB, 320GB hard drive, or 16GB, 32GB solid state disk
• Connectivity: Optional Bluetooth, 3G modem
• Battery: 3 cell or 7 cell

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3s measures 10.6″ x 6.6″ x 0.9″ and weighs 2.43 pounds with a 3 cell battery or 2.76 pounds with a 6 cell battery.  No word yet on pricing or availability, but soon we think.
