Contrary to earlier reports that Lenovo is looking into contracting the manufacture of their netbook to either Compal Electronics, Wistron and Pegatron, it looks like Lenovo has already chose Quanta Computer instead. And yes we’re still looking at a September release for Lenovo’s netbook.
Now, in addition to these new information, Digitimes reported, citing an Economic Daily News report, that the netbook would have two models – an 8.9-inch and a 10-inch units. In addition, both models will have Intel Atom processor and LED backlit panels which is common among netbooks. And lastly, the Lenovo netbooks will have 160GB hard drive and will come in four different colors with two of them white and pink.
Now, for the price – the Lenovo is looking at a possible $399-$599 price tag. Now that’s competitive!

Does it use Linux or not?
My wife’s sister just got the Acer One for $379and my wife loves the Linux interface.
Her sister’s husband loves not having to do the usual Windows dance for anti-virus, malware, trojans and the usual.
Were in the market for a netbook and I dont trust Acer that much so it looks like the Dell E Mini will be our target although if Lenovo has a competitive price and runs Linux on it, I would be willing to look into it because of past experiences with Lenovo. (not exactly a Dell fan either)
