Lenovo Ideapad S12
 

I often wonder where the line should be drawn between a netbook, mini-notebook and notebook. It’s a thin line and it’s getting blurred with more and more manufacturers coming up with designs that fit somewhere between the lines. The recently launched Lenovo Ideapad S12, powered with a VIA Nano processor, falls in such a category. It’s been positioned quite uniquely. Call it a higher-end mini-notebook or you could also call it a delicately shrunk notebook. But, at the end of the day, it’s Lenovo’s choice and they call it the IdeadPad S12 netbook.

29.2x21.6x2.2 vs 29.2x21.7x3.1

the S12 is a lot thinner, which is an important selling factor
