While the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 was originally launched with Intel’s Atom processor and NVIDIA’s Ion chipset, it is also available with a Via Nano option now through Lenovo’s own web site. The new combination of Via’s Nano ULV 2250 processor and VIA Chrome9 HC3 graphics makes the overall price go down by $50 to $450 USD, and offers extra speed compared to Intel’s Atom chip in exchange for a little bit of reduction in battery life. If you’d rather have performance than endurance, you might want to look at this deal.

The long-awaited 12-inch Samsung NC20 has just gone up for pre-order on Amazon UK, and anyone living in or near the UK can take advantage of this sale now. In case you’ve forgotten, the NC20 is a follow-up to the 10-inch NC10, and features Via’s Nano processor, first and foremost, instead of an Intel Atom like most other netbooks available in the market today.
