More Choices in Mini-Notebooks


Purchasing a netbook is becoming as complicated as ordering a Starbucks coffee. Since the Asus Eee PC 701 entered the market, consumers’ options have only increased.


Case in point: Lenovo’s IdeaPad S10. The 10.2-inch S10 is Lenovo’s first netbook product and features Wi-Fi and an Express Card slot so users can enable broadband connectivity. Built-in tools include a Web camera for video messaging, two U.S.B. ports, a 4-in-1 multicard reader and Microsoft Windows XP.


The 1-inch thick S10 offers 512 MB of memory and an 80-GB hard drive or 1 GB of memory and a 160-GB hard drive. The IdeaPad S10 will be available in November, with prices starting at $400. And because simplicity is overrated, the S10 also comes in five colors: white, black, pink, blue and ruby red.
