Dolby is interested in working with the netbook manufacturers to offer Dolby sound support in the tiny machines. First netbooks to use this technology are the two netbooks from Lenovo: S12 and S10-2. According to Dolby, it improves listening comfort and prevents the fatigue caused by prolonged headphone use.Although I use my headphone on my netbook (without Dolby support) for fairly long times, I am get to get the 'listener's fatigue' as said by Dolby.

Stay tuned for the review, which will be out tomorrow or day after that.
