Lenovo has announced the new IdeaPad S12, which will feature an Intel Atom N270 single-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and the NVIDIA ION chipset. The NVIDIA ION chipset will provide a much higher performing graphics core than the Intel 945G chipset that the current crop of netbooks are using.
Users can expect a larger form factor since the S12 will have a 12" screen, and full-size keyboard, and what looks like an HDMI-out. Expect this new entry to go for less than US$600 when it arrives in July or August.
