Brad once again gives us a review of an updated netbook. This time around, it’s the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 with NVIDIA ION graphics. It’s a good pick if you need that kick for enhanced 3D graphics of HD playback but you won’t buy it if you just need something for regular tasks.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t do as well as other CULVs out there which have a similar price as this unit and offer much better processing power. If you want to know the reasons behind this verdict, go and read the full review below.

While the IdeaPad S12 from Lenovo is available already with an Intel Atom processor in the US and Europe, with the US also able to purchase the netbook with a VIA Nano processor, we’ve yet to see the NVIDIA ION powered model. It was touted to be the first netbook using NVIDIA ION, but Samsung could possibly release the N510, which also uses NVIDIA ION, before Lenovo do, as we’ve already seen photos of the netbook next to the NC10.

The delay in release is because instead of shipping with Windows Vista, the company are holding off until Windows 7 is released and will ship with that sometime in October. Samsung will also be doing the same with the N510, so it really will be a race then, to see who can get their NVIDIA ION netbook out first. When it is released, it will retail for $550, making it only $50 than the Intel Atom model.
