Lenovo, best known for its Thinkpad line of business-oriented laptops, today announced their entry into the netbook market. The newly announced model S10 will be available in three colors: white, red, and black, and will come in the following configurations:
- 512 MB RAM, 80 GB hard drive: $399
- 1 GB RAM, 160 GM hard drive: $449
Both versions will come standard with a 3-cell battery, Windows XP, and a 10″ LED screen. Also included are 4-in-1 card reader, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and an Express Card slot for mobile broadband cards. However the S10 will only have two USB ports, as compared to the three that seem to be in most netbook models.
The S10 will be available in China in September and in the States in “early October”. 9″ screen and Linux variants are also in the works.
