Lenovo has introduced its "e" IdeaPad S10e netbook designed for students.


"Following the popularity of our recently introduced consumer netbooks, we are expanding our IdeaPad netbook line with models customized to the unique needs of students, teachers and education customers," said Scott DiValerio, president, Americas, and senior vice president, Lenovo."With technology choices including solid state drive storage, Windows or Linux operating systems and flexible warranties, we're enabling our customers to use Lenovo netbooks in a variety of settings, from instruction in the classroom to wherever they study, collaborate and learn."

The Lenovo netbook provides basic functionality for word processing and light multimedia capabilities. A built-in webcam on the 10.1 inch display makes creating and sharing video messaging simple. The laptop also features Quick Start that allows students to quickly check email, browse the Internet, conduct video conferencing, view photos or listen to music without having to fully boot the operating system.

The netbook comes equipped with a 4 GB solid state drive for reliability or a hard disk drive up to 160 GB, Intel Atom processor, several choices of memory sizes and a variety of ports for expansion. Users can connect through Ethernet, WiFi and optional Bluetooth. Outfitted with a standard ExpressCard 34 slot, the netbook can also be enabled for mobile broadband. Choices of operating systems include Microsoft Windows XP Home or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop from Novell.

Lenovo is offering flexible warranties extending up to three years and shorter warranty periods covering limited parts replacement.

The IdeaPad S10e netbook will be available starting at the end of November through Lenovo education sales and business partners.
