We’ve known that the new Intel Atom N455 processor would be available sometime soon and the Lenovo Ideapad S10-3 looks to be one of the first available for purchase. The N455 processor is only different from the N450 in that it’s compatible with DDR3 RAM, which should be a small but noticeable performance boost for certain processes.
All of this is available for only $299, which is a really great price for such a great netbook. Here are the full specs:
- Processor: Intel Atom CPU Speed N450(1.66GHz) CPU L2 Cache 512KB
- 1GB 204-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM Memory
- 160GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM); 802.11 b/g/n
- 10.1″ 1024×600 LED Display (16:9); Intel GMA 3150 Graphics
