What Makes Our Netbooks Stand Out
Three BIG ideas:
•Lenovo S has a better keyboard -- 85% of an industry-standard desktop
PC, which is among the largest (if not the largest) on a netbook.
Benefit: Easier to type, fewer errors.
•Lenovo S has a bigger display size than most -- 10.1" on the S10e
display vs. 8.9" for most.
Benefit: More screen real estate in about the same size box.
•Lenovo S has an Express Card slot for expandability / WWAN whereas
most don't.
Benefit: Connect in more ways now, upgrade to WWAN later
