The S12 comes with all the netbook essentials with a Intel Atom processor and a starting price tag of under $450.

Yes, this netbook can run Windows 7 and for the price of $649 you can have Windows 7 home premium, enhanced graphics, 320GB hard drive and 3GB of Ram. All of which will still weighs 3.5 pounds. Lenovo Ideapad S12 Specifications: Windows XP Home Edition Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics 1GB DDR2 RAM 12.1-inch widescreen display (1280x800) with LED backlighting 160GB 5400RPM hard drive 6-cell Li-ion battery (11.1V, 52Wh) Broadcom 802.11b/g wireless White color (also available in black) Dimensions: 11.5 x 8.5 x 0.9 1.4 inches (W x D x H Weight: Starting at 3.42 lb w/ 6-cell battery One-year limited warranty Intel Atom N270 processor (1.60GHz) Price $429.00 Conclusion The Lenovo Ideapad S12 is a great little netbook but it really doesn't offer much that other cheaper netbook's don't already offer. I can recommend it but there are still better choices out there for you to chose from. Most of the other choices don't all have 12.1'' screens most are 10.1". Pros: Good looking design The S12 features solid build quality Excellent keyboard and screen Five hours of battery life Cons: Touchpad could be a bit larger Screen could tilt back further Back of the lid could use a bit more protection Check out this netbook review and other netbook reviews at my review site, Netbook Computer Reviews.
