Where did they put the trackpoint?

That’s, seriously, a cool netbook. Very glad I waited this long before purchasing one, and I’m very glad Lenovo is innovating in the market.

I won’t be too quick to jump off of my Macbook pro just yet. Obviously I would still need my Mac for more serious work. I might just get it for my daughter though.

I have been a mac user for the past 10 years. I think it is time to switch back to a wintel machine. I can get about 4 of them for the same price of the macbook pro I’m working on.

I just found the next laptop I’m getting, I love how it comes with XP instead of that crap Vista. Can’t wait for this, I’m definitely buying it. It’s actually cheaper then the laptop I currently own, and can play games better.

@M.C. I hope to get my hands on the S12 w/ION sometime this summer. I will definitely test the battery and let you know how hot it gets.

Thanks very much, sir, for the hands-on. If you get a chance to update this post later, could you add some observations on battery life and heat output?

With that ION chipset, I might have just found my next netbook. Although, like you said, 12″ is definitely pushing the netbook form factor. With the changes in the S10 and now the S12, it looks like Lenovo has taken a lot of the feedback on the old S10 to heart.
