Lenovo are preparing to release their second-generation netbook, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2, which will include integrated 3G but lose the ExpressCard slot that helped differentiate its predecessor. According to the IdeaPad S10-2’s user manual, which was prematurely posted to the company’s support site, the netbook will still use Intel’s Atom processor.
Models offering 3G HSPA, EVDO and WiMAX all seem to be planned, all with DDR2 RAM (likely 1GB as standard) and a 10.1-inch WSVGA display. Storage ranges from 2.5-inch SATA 160, 250 or 360GB drives, to 8, 16 or 32GB of SSD. The webcam is either VGA or 1.3-megapixel resolution, and there’s a choice of two batteries: a 48Wh 6-cell pack, or a smaller 28Wh 3-cell pack.
Connectivity includes three USB 2.0 ports, a 4-in-1 memory card reader, VGA output, audio in/out and ethernet. There’s also WiFi and optional Bluetooth, with a hardware switch to turn it on or off. No word on when we can expect to see the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2, nor pricing.

what’s wit the nomenclature convention. why can’t they just name it as Lenovo S20.
ok, the connectivity option is a revolutionary bundle, but have they done something to the keyboard? lenovo has by far the smallest keyboard size in the netbook category, which is really a sore when typing.

Yes they have done something to the keyboard they have much improved it.
Lenovo has increased the size of the keyboard completely. The keys are now wider and the right Shift key has been enlarged and placed below the Enter key The keyboard is firm and void of flex and is great to type on.
The multi-touch trackpad has been also been improved with dedicated right and left mouse buttons.
What we are really looking forward to are the new ThinkPad NetBooks.

It will be interesting to see how the ThinkPad design team interpret the NetBook form factor.
