Lenovo Launch Smartbook Laptop Alternative
Wed, 06 Jan 2010
Lenovo has unveiled its new Skylight Smartbook – one of eleven PCs launched at the Consumer Electronics Show. The new PC is an all-in-one netbook using the Snapdragon version of the ARM chip – the processor used in a number of mobile phones . Lenovo have promised a new and exciting user interface, as well as WiFi integration and 3G WAN connectivity.

While marketed as a Smartbook, the device appears to be more of an advanced phone gadget. As well as offering a proper keyboard and screen, the new Smartbook conceals a Linux operating system, with movie playback offered though there is no DVD or Blu-Ray drive. Instead, you will need to transfer a movie onto the integrated 16GB USB stick.

The Smartbook is expected to be available to buy around Easter time, though consumers wanting a Windows based netbook from Lenovo are better off opting for the IdeaPad S10-3t and S10-3. The S10-3t is the first netbook tablet PC to feature a capacitive multitouch screen, offering functionality and portability, though clearly its processor will not be as powerful as desktop computers or powerful notebooks .
