Looking for a new laptop?

In the span of 2009, we always hear news about the forthcoming Nvidia Ion GPU for Netbooks and it is not a secret that we all get excited of it. At long last, Netbooks would be more capable of graphics processing and handling HD video. One of the first frontrunners claiming an Ion Netbook was Lenovo and the IdeaPad S12 seemed like the perfect mini-notebook to contain it, especially since early reports claimed the S12 with Ion would cost “under $499.”

The Lenovo IdeaPad S12-2959 carries the Intel Atom N270 / 1.6 GHz processor. The netbook also features a 533 MHz data bus speed; L2 cache with 512 KB cache size; 3 GB / 3 GB (max) installed RAM; DDR2 SDRAM - 667 MHz; Serial ATA-150; 320 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm hard drive; 4 in 1 card reader; 12.1 in TFT active matrix; 1.3 Megapixel integrated camera; IEEE 802.11b , IEEE 802.11g , Bluetooth 2.1; Power-on password , Hard drive password , Administrator password , Security lock slot (cable lock sold separately); 6-cell Lithium ion battery and Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.
