The cheap and shoddy designs of early netbooks are mostly a thing of the past. The the thick and bulbous chassises, the tiny trackpads, the bizarrely bifurcated trackpad button placement, all have been swept away. Today’s netbooks are sexy, colorful and sleek, and make the earliest netbo...

Review: Lenovo IdeaPad S12 netbook
Original at Geek.com

The 12-inch netbook is a strange beast. It’s a netbook (at least in terms of its Atom processor and a sub-$600 price tag), but sized like an ultraportable notebook. We haven’t seen many of them and we’ve seen a lot of indecision from the companies that have released them. Case in point, the [...]
