Along with the launch of the IdeaPad S10-3t Tablet netbook, Lenovo has launched a new smartbook – the Lenovo Skylight Smartbook.

The Lenovo Skylight Smartbook features a Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor and a 10.1 inch LCD display plus a custom Linux based OS with built in web gadgets for easy access to services like Gmail and Facebook.

The other specifications of the Skylight Smartbook include a battery which will give you an impressive ten hours of usage and built in WiFi plus 3G connectivity. There is also a full keyboard and as you can see from the photos the device is a lot thinner than a netbook.

The Lenovo Skylight Smartbook will be available in April for $499 without a data contract and AT&T will also be offering the Lenovo Skylight Smartbook at a subsidized price on a monthly data plan.

There are no details as yet on when we will see the Lenovo Skylight Smartbook in the UK and Europe.
