Lenovo delay IdeaPad S12 with NVIDIA Ion until the launch of Windows 7

As we are much anxious about the release of the netbooks this has been getting delayed to our anxiety. The best example we can say about the release of the Lenovo IdeaPad with NVIDIA ION, though it is delayed it’s been added to its available features. This would be the first netbook to be developed with NVIDIA Ion GPU.

Lenovo IdeaPad looks much attractive with a 12.1-inch WXGA display at a resolution of 1280 X 800 LED 200nit  model and  the S12 pairs the 1080p-capable Ion chipset with an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor. This gets configured with 1GB of DDR2 533MHz RAM and 160/250/320GB SATA hard-drive options.  As well as the usual VGA output, there’s also an HDMI port which is used  to output 1080p content onto a big-screen HDTV along with  re-encoding a 1080p clip into an iPhone-friendly format.

The  connectivity includes 10/100m Ethernet, Broadcom 578M, Intel WiFi Link 5150 1X2 AGN, Intel WiFi Link 5100 1X2 AGN, Non-Intel wireless b/g, Non-Intel wireless b/g/n, Bluetooth along with three USB 2.0 ports, an ExpressCard slot, 4-in-1 card reader, VGA, RJA45 and audio in/out. Lenovo bundled with a 32 bit, XP Home SP3 provides two battery options, a 3-cell pack good for 3hrs runtime or a 6-cell pack for 6 hours.

The Lenovo S12 with NVIDIA Ion is expected to be shipped at the end of this month, priced at $499.99 as soon as the Windows 7 is released and the cheaper models with Intel’s GMA 945 chipset at $449.99.
