Lenovo netbooks have a clean and nice design, with a comfortable keyboard. It will be shipped with a 3 cell battery.

A youtube video showing the ideapad S10 from every angle:

Two USB ports are not enough in my opinion, if you have a USB mouse attached only one port is left for storage. Compared to the ideapad S9, the Acer Aspire One has similar specs, price range, and integrates 3 USB ports and two memory card readers.

However, the Expresscard/34 slot is a very clever addition, featured in high end laptops usually. Expresscards are 34mm wide, and will make possible the easy expansion of your ideapad with an additional solid state drive, or a TV tuner card, a wireless USB card, WiMax, 3G, and much more.

With the imminent arrival of Dell E netbook line and the Lenovo ideapad S9/S10, september holds quite a lot of promises.
