Lenovo introduces Ideapad S100 10 inch netbook

Lenovo is updating its netbook line today with the introduction of the IdeaPad S100. Like the S10, S10-2, and S10-3 that preceded it, the Lenovo IdeaPad S100 features a 10 inch display. But this will be the first netbook model from Lenovo with support for a dual core processor.

The S100 will be available with up to an Atom N570 dual core CPU. It will also be available with an Atom N455 or N475 single core chip. The netbook also  supports up to 2GB of DDR3 of memory, and up to 320GB of hard drive space. It will have Integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics, a 2MP wecbam, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and Bluetooth.

The mini-laptop has a redesigned keyboard which Lenovo says is 98% of the size of a full-sized keyboard, which is pretty impressive for a 10 inch netbook. The keyboard actually looks a lot like the chiclet-style keyboard Lenovo has been using for its 11.6 inch and smaller ThinkPad laptops.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S100 will be available in March for $329.99 and up.
