UK Netbook Review

Netbooked speculates that two large players in the netbook space, Samsung and Lenovo, maybe be launching new netbooks based on VIA’s VX900 processor.  They point out that both manufacturers have used VIA processors before – the Samsung with the Samsung NC20 and Lenovo i the IdeaPad S12.   Supposedly the new VIA VX900processor will be [...]

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X100e aims to be the perfect solution between a netbook and a larger 13- or 14-inch ULV ultraportable. It carries the renowned ThinkPad bran as well as a AMD Neo processor / ATI graphics combo which promises more power than the typical Intel Atom N450-powered netbook, and with an 11.6-inch screen the chassis can accommodate a wider keyboard and touchpad. On paper, it sounds like the perfect combo – but read past the break to see if the reality lives up to the hype.

Peter at Netbooked has gotten the new Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t convertible tablet from Lenovo. The model he tested came with the following specs:

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t

10.1” 1024 x 600 display
capacitive multi touch display
Intel Atom N450 processor
1GB RAM

We heard a few rumours recently that the Lenovo Thinkpad X100e would get dual core power, and it seems they were true. If you live in Sweden that is (for now). Lenovo Sweden has launched a X100e with a 1.6GHz dual core AMD Turion X2 L625 processor. The model also has 2 of RAM and a 320GB hard drive as well as an integrated HSDPA/HSUPA 3G modem. Rounding out the specs are an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and Windows 7 Professional.

We’ve heard rumours about a Lenovo ThinkPad Mini 10 model (basically a X100e but with a 10″ screen) but hadn’t seen it make an appearance up until now. Today, one user on the Whirlpool forums has spotted a gaggle of the ThinkPad Mini 10 netbooks at a school in NSW, Australia – apparently part of a district wide roll-out.
