Slinky Lenovo laptop prototype outed by FCC

Ooh, what's this? A new netbook from Lenovo, or some other flavor of tiny laptop? Little is known about the subject of this FCC filing from hardware assembler (and resurrector) Wistron, other than it will have a 10.1-inch screen, a 3-in-1 media reader, and plenty of wireless options including Bluetooth, WiFi, and HSDPA data. Dimensionally the device, referred to as the 0251, would fit into the IdeaPad category, but with no mention of processor or storage there's still some room to hope for something equally small but with a bit more chutzpah. Yeah, we're optimists.

Everyone loves a slinky!

So, that screen starts at some arbitrary place and actually goes beyond the encasing? Huh?

Looks like they do their illustrations with an etch-a-sketch...

Only one USB port on the entire left hand side? There's almost room for an optical drive there!

If it's by Lenovo..
You know it's going to be a solid build.

Where's the hammer?

[BigD145 Posted Nov 2nd 2009 2:14PM]

ION and dual core, please?

FYI Winstron also manufactures their ThinkPad range. If this is a ThinkPad X10, I'm already sold.
