Lenovo Makes the Thinkpad x100e Netbook Official, AMD Guts

And it's now official. Lenovo has just announced the upcoming Thinkpad x100e netbook. Unlike most of the netbooks that we see nowadays this will actually be running on an AMD CPU with ATI's graphics. The basic single-core model should be available as soon as the next couple of days, but the dual-core CPU variant will be coming later this quarter. The specs are below, courtesy of Netbooked.
