Even more customization options for the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2
Now, you can customize the Lenovo S10-2 with an Atom N280 processor ($15), Bluetooth ($22.50) or/and 3-cell 2600 mAh battery. If you wish to have more powerful, yet a bit ugly battery, you can go for the 6-cell battery option ($33.75) too
Still no HD version in sight, which is supposed to have 1280×720 resolution
Lenovo S10-2 HD launched – has a mind-boggling 1280×720 resolution
Lenovo has launched HD version of its netbook in Japan and Germany. The most outstanding part about it is its resolution which is 1280×720, which is much better than what you see in standard netbooks (1024×600).
It will retail at 349 Euros (with 19% VAT)
Acer and Asus won’t be releasing any netbook anytime soon
Asus and Acer both have decided not to release any new model soon. Asus recently released 1005HA, 1008HA, 1004DN. Acer has also announced that they will be revealing HD version of their popular D250 model that will feature a 720p display.
According to a recent ‘survey’ done by Acer, they have found that Android demand is not ‘strong enough’ and they have come to the conclusion that they would postpone the launch of their Android netbook.
Bad News for UK visitors: No HP Mini 2140 HD for UK
HP Mini 2140 is a great netbook, but suffers from low (vertical) resolution problem. A lot of times, dialog boxes of XP are not able to fit as there are only 576 pixels vertically. To address this problem, HP announced HD version of the 2140 which would come with much higher resolution, 1366 x 768. Although, HP plans to launch it in most of the countries, it won’t be launched in UK.
Fortunately, there are a lot of options for the netbooks buyers. If you plan to do only web-surfing and some office work, then I will recommend you to give a try to Acer Aspire 751H, which comes with an 11.6-inch display and fantastic resolution of 1366 x 768. You can read its review here
