Netbook Reviews

Two new Lenovo Ideapad S10-3 netbooks have just shown up for order at Amazon featuring the latest generation Atom N455 processor with DDR3 support.

We have of course seen the Lenovo S10-3 before, but these two new models make use of the faster DDR3 supporting hardware.

Both of these 10.1-inch netbooks have the same design and hardware, but come with either a 160GB hard drive, or a 250GB hard drive for an extra $30.

The Lenovo Ideapad S10-3 0647-2AU costs only $299 (160GB) and the Lenovo Ideapad S10-3 0647-2BU (250GB) $329.99.

Lenovo S10-3

And unlike some other netbooks powered by the DDR3 supporting Atom N455, the new Ideapad S10-3′s really do come with PC2-5300 DDR3 RAM.

They feature a 98% full size chiclet keyboard with rounded keys, a very slim design of just 0.96 inch, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, multicard reader, and 7 hour battery life running Windows 7 Home Starter.
