If you're interested in the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 netbook then you might be interested in the new one that should be hitting the market soon. This will be the exact same as the old model but it'll feature a faster dual-core Intel Atom N550 1.5GHz CPU which has support for DDR3 RAM. Other specs include a 10.1-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, 1GB of DDR3 RAM, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 support, a 1.3MP webcam, a memory card reader, and Windows 7 Starter Edition. If you live in Australia then you can now pre-order it here for $559 or here for $699. In Australia, electronics are really expensive (compared to the US) so expect it to hit stateside for much cheaper.

Lenovo has announced a bunch of products in the last couple of days and what you see above is the IdeaPad S10-3 and the S10-3t. The only difference from the two is that the latter is a netbook tablet, while the former is just a normal netbook. They both come packed with a 10.1-inch display (swiveling capacitive multi-touch on the S10-3t only), an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz CPU, up to 2GB of RAM, integrated GMA 3150 graphics, up to a 320GB HDD, Bluetooth support, integrated webcams, a 5-in-1 card reader, a VGA output, USB 2.0 ports, and Windows 7 / XP OS options. The S10-3 will be available for $349.99, while the S10-3t will be available for $499.99. They'll both be available by the end of this month.

Update: They should be available soon, but if you're impatient Engadget has just pointed out that Amazon (here) now has them available for pre-orders. Unfortunately, the S10-3 netbook is available for $379.99 USD which is $30 more expensive than the MSRP will be. You might want to hold off on this one, but I'm not stopping you.

That's not all. Lenovo has just announced their latest notebook models the IdeaPad Y460 and Y560. The Y460 sports a 14-inch display and will have up to a 320GB HDD, ATI Radeon HD5740 / HD5650 graphics options, and Intel Core i3 / i5 CPU options. However the Y560 has a 15.6-inch display with up to a 500GB HDD, ATI Radeon HD5730 graphics, and Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 CPU options.

Both notebooks will feature up to 8GB of RAM, WiFi b/g/n / optional Bluetooth support, optional 3G / WiMAX connectivity, three USB 2.0 ports, an ExpressCard slot, a card reader, and Windows 7. The IdeaPad Y460 will be available starting in February and the Y560 will be available starting in March. Both notebooks will be available for as low as $849.99 USD.
