LATEST ELECTRONIC GADGETZ

Though bit late in the netbook game, Lenovo believes that netbooks are here to stay. To position itself better in the growing netbook segment the Chinese company has planned to launch a 12-inch netbook computer. The latest mini-laptop from the house of Lenovo will grace company's IdeaPad series and runs Intel's latest Atom N280 processor. According to reports, Lenovo hopes to break competition in the 10" segment with its 12-inch S20 netbook.

But as per its screen size it would be breaking Intel's unofficial law that states that a netbook shouldn't offer screen bigger than 10-inch. And for that it would have to pay a price. The processor for this machine will cost $10 higher.

The IdeaPad S20 netbook is based on an Intel Atom N280 processor and GN40 chipset, and runs Windows XP operating system. Expected pricing is around $586.
