Lenovo intros ultra 'green' Windows and Linux PCs

,----[ Quote ]
| Lenovo has released other PCs supporting either Red Hat or Novell SuSE Linux 
| at various points over the years. But Red Hat "is a predominant distributor 
| in the professional workstation space, so Lenovo elected to use them for 
| support on this specific product," the spokesperson said.

Lenovo's S10e Linux Ideapad

,----[ Quote ]
| Netbooks are all the rage right now with Linux as one of the primary
| operating system (OS) options. The Eee PC from ASUS got things started and
| originally only shipped with a Linux OS. This year's Consumer Electronics
| Show was overrun with the little laptops from a wide variety of vendors. It
| was only a matter of time before the big guys rolled out their own
| mini-laptop offerings. Now you can find a netbook from just about every major
| laptop manufacturer, with the exception of Apple.

Lenovo targets new netbook at students

,----[ Quote ]
| Lenovo this week unveiled a netbook PC designed to be the first mobile PC for
| K-12 students and a "secondary device" for college students.
|
| Netbooks are smaller, lighter, and much less expensive than full-blown
| notebook PCs. The Lenovo IdeaPad S10e gives institutions the option of using
| the latest version of Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop instead of
| Windows XP or XP Pro2, and the opportunity to dress the slate-gray finish in
| the school's official colors.

A Peek at Lenovo's iPhone-Like Android Phone

,----[ Quote ]
| As we've noted before, the T-Mobile G1 or "Google phone," based on Android,
| is doing better than expected. In 2009, many Android phones are going to be
| appearing, and as applications and innovative designs proliferate, they could
| give the iPhone a run for its money. Today, photos are appearing of Lenovo's
| Ophone, which is an Android phone that it has slated for delivery in China.
| Does this thing look exactamundo like the iPhone or what?

Lenovo Rebrands SplashTop As "QuickStart"

Linux-Based Instant-On Trend Spreads Out

,----[ Quote ]
| SplashTop is an embedded Linux operating system that is able to execute
| instant-on by being very lightweight. The SplashTop marketing mantra is "zero
| to Internet in seconds," and the operating system comfortably coexists with
| both Windows and other Linux distros on many new portable computers.
|
| In the Lenovo netbook, model S10e, the SplashTop functionality will be
| branded as "Quick Start." I'm not going to be surprised to see Instant-On
| arrive on nearly all Windows- and Linux-based portable computers, and not
| just netbooks. This piece in The New York Times agrees that Instant-On will
| end up fundamentally changing how people think about using their portable
| computers.

The Lenovo S10 Netbook is here, count me in

,----[ Quote ]
| The S10 is here, I ordered one yesterday and I'm psyched. The IdeaPad S10 is
| Lenovo's just-released entry in the Netbook market. "Netbook" is a new term
| that's applied to cheap small laptops that run either Windows XP Home Edition
| or Linux. No Vista or OS X here (neither is cheap).
