The new Lenovo IdeaPad S10 marks Lenovo's entry into the netbook PC market, with more models to follow soon.
 Lenovo today announced it is entering the netbook PC market with the new Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook PC. Lenovo designed the super-slim, super-small Lenovo IdeaPad S10 to complement a customer's primary PC or as a first-time, introduction PC purchase. The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 allows users to perform simple activities such as dive the Internet, check and write e-mails, listen to music and run basic applications.
Lenovo also plans to introduce netbook models designed specifically for students and educators. Approximately one-inch thin with models weighing just over two pounds, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook typifies thin and light design.
The 10.2-inch screen Lenovo IdeaPad S10 comes in flavors of classic white and bold black as well as a glossy ruby red. Its keyboard is designed to be 85 percent of the size of a full-function notebook PC's keyboard, and an energy-efficient LED backlit display is claimed to help provide longer battery life than traditional displays.
The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 includes Wi-Fi and also has an ExpressCard slot so users can enable the netbook for optional high speed mobile broadband connectivity. To optimize the social networking experience, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 comes with tools such as a built-in web camera for video messaging, two USB ports and a 4-in-1 multicard reader. The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook runs Microsoft Windows XP.
Using the Intel Atom processor, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 provides basic notebook functionality as a user's secondary PC. Lenovo offers it in two configurations, with one having 512MB of memory and an 80GB hard drive and the second configuration having 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive. Lenovo's OneKey Rescue System is claimed to help users recover data should a system error or virus occur.
The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook PC will be available beginning in early October 2008, and prices start at $400.
