The Lenovo S10-3T looks to be the first netbook to ship with the faster Intel Atom N470 processor. The S10-3T is the convertible tablet style netbook with touchscreen.
The version with the N470 will cost you an extra $100, bringing the price to $649, but the along with the CPU the other specifications have also been boosted. This version you get a larger 250GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM and the full Windows 7 Home Premium edition.

If you are interested in the Lenovo S10-3T with the N470, you can order from Lenovo for $649, or $549 with the N450. Via NetbookNews
