Lenovo IdeaPad S10E Laptop

When Asus introduced the 7″ netbook back in 2007, there was much doubt from competing notebook manufacturers that there was a market for such a “toy” of a notebook. Well how wrong they were, ever since, the popularity of netbooks has been on a constant increase and now everybody’s at it. The netbook market has had huge impacts on sales of  notebook computers, especially expensive ultra portables.

Though it’s now old news I have just discovered that Lenovo has a netbook, Which i’m really pleased with since ive been a big fan of IBM & Lenovo Thinkpads. They’ve called it the Lenovo IdeaPad S10e, I’m really impressed with its features especially considering its price, at the time of writing its £279.99 from Dabs.

It main features:
Intel Atom N270
1GB of RAM (512MB + 512MB) 1.5GB Max since one is soldered.
160GB 5400rpm SATA HDD
10.1″ TFT 1024×576 Display & 1.3MP Webcam
100mb NIC
Wireless B/G
Bluetooth
ExpressCard/34 Slot
4 in 1 Card Reader (SD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MultiMediaCard)
Windows XP Home

My favoroute feature has to be the ExpressCard/34 expansion slot, as far as im aware the only other netbook to feature one is the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Mini. I have a bad history of snapping USB accessories off from notebook computers so prefer to go with a much stronger expresscard if possible.
