We hope to bring you a full review of one of Lenovo's new IdeaPad S10 netbooks in the not too distant future.

china (lenovo) is getting better and better, well they needed to get a higher market share, 10% wasn't cutting it. I have to add their design kind of look like the xps/studio line but hey lenovo are reliable and according to a survey done by msn few weeks ago they are = or better than sony. in terms of reliable and services which is very high!

I was glad to see they used WindowsXp when I saw the 512mb model. :) There are a lot of practical uses for something like this and I guess Intel has a hit in the making.
