Lenovo has just unveiled their latest notebook which should be pretty easy to carry around. Behold the X121e which can pack Intel / AMD CPUs so you can choose whatever you want. The notebook packs an 11.6-inch display (1,366 x 768 resolution), WiFi / Bluetooth support, an HDMI output, a webcam, WiMAX / 3G connectivity, and Windows 7.

AMD models feature a C-50 or E-350 APU along with a 250GB HDD. The former also has 1GB of RAM and a 3-cell battery, while the latter has 4GB of RAM and a 6-cell battery. If you opt for the Intel model then you can get a Core i3 CPU, a 320GB HDD, 2GB of RAM, and a 3-cell battery. Of course, you'll be able to upgrade the RAM, to an SSD, and even a 6-cell battery. This can be yours if you're in Europe for as little as €399 ($573 USD).

That's pretty good considering that it starts at under $600. Other specs include Radeon HD 6310 graphics, a 500GB HDD, a 4-in-1 memory card reader, HDMI / VGA ouputs, a 1.3MP webcam, and an 8-cell battery that will last up to 10 hours.

MSI has announced two new products, with AMD's new Fusion technology, that it's bringing to the US. The one above is the AE2050 which is an all-in-one PC, and the one below is the CR650 notebook.

The notebook that they unveiled is the CR650 which actually sports a 15.6-inch display along with the same APU. This one also features 3GB of RAM, a 320GB HDD, and a battery life that should last you 6 hours. Check this one out on MSI where it starts at just $499.99.

Sony has just revealed their own little netbook that's running on AMD's latest Zacate chipset. Beneath the 11.6-inch display, you'll find a dual-core E-350 APU clocking in at 1.6GHz.

Sadly, they mentioned that this netbook only managed to survive for 3 hours and 6 minutes on a charge so you're going to want to choose a larger battery if you do decide to use this one unplugged for a lengthy amount of time.
