Lenovo C200 All-In-One Features Blazing Next-Gen Ion Graphics [Lenovo]

Lenovo C200 All-In-One Features Blazing Next-Gen Ion Graphics [Lenovo]: "

The Lenovo C200 all-in-one made a brief appearance at CeBIT a few months ago, but now it's official: an 18.6-inch 16:9 display with a dual-core Atom D510 processor and optional next-generation Nvidia Ion graphics. You'll want to take the option.

The C200 is one of the first of a wave of products featuring the HD-capable next-generation Ion, and it's also got a friendly starting price of $399. Of course, that's only going to get you a 1.6GHz Atom D410, 160GB of storage, no touchscreen, and Intel's lesser integrated graphics.
The upgrade options, though, are extensive: up to that dual core Atom D510, a touchscreen (no multitouch, sadly), 4GB DDR2 RAM, and a 500GB HDD—making a fully tricked out C200 worth a closer look. If only more of those were standard! But you take what you can get.
 
All-in-ones haven't really found their stride in the US, but for an affordable HD-capable secondary computer, you could certainly do a lot worse. The C200 will be available later this month.

This all-in-one computer, available with up to Intel® Atom™ Dual Core processor D510, and complete with an integrated DVD reader/writer, is the ideal PC for any room in the home. For improved video chat communications, the C200 features integrated stereo speakers and the Lenovo High-Sense Webcam, which boasts a larger lens and finer color and shading sensitivity to create clearer images and greater contrast, especially in low-light environments.
"The Lenovo C200 with NVIDIA ION is an ideal way to meet the ‘info-tainment' needs of today's digital family. Its snappy graphics and big screen are perfect for accessing the Internet, sharing family photos, playing casual games together, or enjoying the latest online videos in high definition," said David Ragones, director of ION and GeForce product marketing, NVIDIA.
The C200 is equipped with the Lenovo Rescue System – a quick and easy solution to back up and restore important data files. With the touch of a button users can easily restore their lost data, allowing consumers to enjoy a worry-free computing experience.
IdeaPad S10-3s- Stylish Internet Companion
With its slim 16mm profile and light weight design, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3s is the perfect netbook for consumers who are always on-the-go and want an immediate web browsing experience. This chic internet companion comes with the new Intel® Atom N470 or N450 processor and is available in black, white or a "spring flowers" cover pattern to suit your individual style. The S10-3s offers a familiar typing experience similar to a full size laptop with its 98% full-size chiclet keyboard, with individually-spaced and rounded keys that make typing comfortable and easy. Users can now get on the web even faster with Quick Start, which enables access to a range of applications, multimedia files, and Web browsing without booting to the Windows™ desktop operating system.
Packed with neat surprises, the S10-3s comes with Dolby® Headphone audio that helps bring music and videos to life, while DirectShare allows users to instantly sync their files wirelessly with any other type and brand of computer, without even connecting to the web. With MapLife location-based mapping, users can discover new places that could create life's next exciting moment. By detecting a user's location from a simple Wi-Fi connection, MapLife will use context-based mapping to display nearby points of interest.
The S10-3s also features Active Protection System (APS) – a feature previously found only on Lenovo's premium ThinkPad and IdeaPad laptops, but now fitted as standard across the S10-3 netbook range. And with VeriFace™ face recognition technology and OneKey™ Rescue System data recovery and anti-virus tools, the S10-3s is packed with features that make computing more fun and convenient. Like all 3rd generation Lenovo netbooks, users can choose from a suite of wireless options like 802.11b/g/n, WWAN, 3G and Bluetooth®.
