Lenovo is putting the concept “small” into the next level with their Lenovo IdeaCenter Q110 is now available for sale at $399 USD. The IdeaCenter Q110 is powered by NVidia ION platform, is loaded with Windows 7 or either a Windows Vista operating system, has 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB of hard disk space.

When you purchase the IdeaCenter Q110 with Windows Vista, you would be given a Windows 7 upgrade disc starting on October 22 when the Windows 7 is officially released to the public.

The cheaper IdeaCenter Q110 is priced at $299 USD and is running on SIS Mirage graphics card. The nettop however doesn’t come with a keyboard, or mouse.

If you plan to use Windows 7, which is a better decision, I would suggest to hold off on buying a nettop until the Windows 7 operating system is officially released on October 22.

IdeaCenter Q110 Out in the Market

HP, Dell, Lenovo still not green enough

Robin Parrish — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:15:06 +0000

The latest edition of Greenpeace’s Guide to Greener Electronics reveals that the world’s biggest PC makers — Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Lenovo — have failed to improve their low scores. All three maintain a penalty point for backtracking on their commitments to eliminate PVC plastic and brominated flame retardants from their products by the end of 2009.

In 14th place, HP is lagging far behind other PC brands, having postponed its 2007 commitment to phase out PVC and BFRs from its computer products from 2009 to 2011. Dell and Lenovo are still low on the list, though they do have PVC and BFR-reduced products on the market, though Lenovo lost ranking due to continued use of toxic chemicals. Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson are in first through third places, with the greenest practices.

Greenpeace wants PC-makers to eliminate BFRs and PVC from their product range because of the harm they cause to the environment throughout the entire lifecycle of a product.

Intel Trimming the Netbooks

Milo Riano — Sun, 31 May 2009 10:18:00 +0000

Reports say that Intel is planning on trimming the netbooks size to 10.2 inches to the previous 12.1 inches. The netbooks has exploded and are priced below the $600 dollar mark. A little bigger than the netbook are lightweight laptops around the 13.3 inches like the Sony Vaio. At 13.3 inches, laptops skyrocket to 1,500 dollars because the Intel pricing on these computers are different.

Microsoft and Intel are talking about limiting the size, to make sure that users are not getting 13 inch laptops for under $600.

I definitely would welcome $600, 13 inch netbooks. That should solve the small keyboard and screen size.
