Lenovo X100e nearly the perfect NetBook
So the Lenovo X100e is announced, compact, kind of ThinkPad design inheritance. And best of all: with a more powerful AMD silicon inside (AMD Neo and related ATi graphics) and matte 11″ HD screen! Too bad it misses an digital video out (HDMI or so instead of the so last millennium analog VGA). Looking forward to the dual-core AMD Neo (X2?) option mentioned by an Lenovo spokesperson in some hands-on video, …
Update: Of course the absence of digital video out (HDMI et al.) is a show-stopper. It also looks a little cheapish in real-life, battery life is also said to be disappointingly low (3-4h on a charge). I’d definitely wait at least for an AMD X2 variant to appear. Of course fixing the other imperfections would be welcome, too.
