Lenovo IdeaPad S9

The IdeaPad S9 is Lenovo's answer to the netbook phenomena. Featuring a 9" LED backlit screen, and coming in at just over two pounds, the S9 presents a slightly cheaper version of the S10. Priced at $349, the S9 will target those interested in a mobile machine less cumbersome and delicate than a laptop. Not meant to replace a user's primary computer or laptop, the S9 comes with a single core 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 512MB of DDR2 ram,and a small 8GB SSD. While not the latest in cutting edge technology, this allows Lenovo to provide a small and light machine at a low end-user cost.
