The great thing about this is that the Wind will have to eventually drop its price to match, just as the Asus 1000H had. Base price w/ XP for netbooks looks to be $400 for this year.]]>Aug 4th 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/

Fitting in small spaces is what trackpoints do best.

Your "proper" laptop will weigh about double this S10. See the difference? ]]>Aug 5th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/
whats linpus]]>Aug 4th 2008 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/
Xpresscard (Just like Nokia likes to spell it) is very useful, if you ever get a external graphics card for another laptop, you could hook this up too and play Quake 3.

I'm waiting for the Gigabyte 912 more, since I think that a touchscreen is pretty good with this form factor.]]>Aug 4th 2008 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/
However, bob wrote, "yeah whats linpus," as in

"yeah who the hell ever heard of linpus?" OR
"is that not about the most absent freakin' distro ever?" OR
"why the hell is lenovo putting such an obscure distro on a high profile offering like this?"

I think the answer is that the one detail the article misses is this is probably Linpus Lite, which is specifically targeted at netbooks/ultramobiles. Although, I know of at least a couple of other distros I would've used instead.

While the choice of Linpus seems rushed, lenovo couldn't have just slapped this thing together at the last minute, you think?

-multi touch (although i would love to have a trackpoint)

-a huge 160 gb hard drive

-and the main selling point for me... an express card slot. to me, someone that has a sprint express card wireless modem, this is key and makes this the perfect portable.]]>Aug 4th 2008 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/Aug 4th 2008 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/a sprint express card wireless modem

USB modems are available from Sprint, VZW, At&t...gives more flexibility with the option to use it in a desktop.

Or better yet, just get tethering for your cellphone. No expensive hardware to buy OR contractual commitment.

But I wonder if these netbooks will have the option of getting broadband access built-in.]]>Aug 4th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/
A USB modem is not a great option when you just want to pull this out of a small knapsack and don't really want to deal with keeping and plugging in a USB accessory. Sure you could tether it via your cell phone if you didn’t have a crippled Windows Mobile Smartphone with sketchy Bluetooth DUN/PAN support.

This may be the netbook to beat, let's see what Dell can do.

Tethering is even easier; you will obviously have the phone with you so alls you need is a data cable. And a 'crippled' WM6 phone is probably the easiest to use as a modem..all I had to do on my tilt was copy Windows>'Internet sharing' file into the start menu folder. Oh, so difficult.

Decent specs, and multitouch-

If it's as durable as a Thinkpad, it might be a worthy competitor to all the rest. More competition means more pressure to drive down prices and innovate right? It can't be all bad.

Sure, its no toughbook, but Lenovo usually makes good machines. I once spilled a full drink on my T61 and it worked perfectly an hour later.

Do you guys think this thing is Lenovo tough? ]]>Aug 4th 2008 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/Aug 4th 2008 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/Aug 4th 2008 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/Aug 4th 2008 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/Aug 4th 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/Aug 4th 2008 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/Aug 4th 2008 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/lenovo-goes-netbook-with-ideapad-s10/
