WTB: ~10-11in Lenovo Laptop

[Fakenjones]

Why Lenovo?: Because Acer/Asus Netbooks seemed too flimsy and cheap and with bad keyboards.

Ideally:

- 11-12 inch screen with decent resolution
- >= 4 hours of battery life
- >= 2GB RAM
- >= 100 GB HDD
- Capable processor / graphics card for low-mid level gaming (no crysis ofcourse).
- DVD/CD drive not really required, nor needed.
- Budget: $300 CAD. Open to paying shipping to CAN.

Possible? You tell me? If you have any offers that fall within +/-$100 of the ball park figure above let me know as well.
Thnx.

It's been panned pretty heavily for its performance, but if you're concerned with build quality, the Nokia Booklet 3G is second to none. It seriously feels like it was milled from a single chunk of metal. I haven't yet found another netbook that feels so substantial.

I've posted on the Booklet 3G elsewhere in this forum...it's becoming an unhealthy obsession

I have the S10e for sale with extra extended life battery, increased ram and win7 COA with upgrade disk - AND - it is within your cost bracket.

Wait for the X120e to ship. If Lenovo follows previous release patterns, there might be a pre-order price break which could get it close to $400. Its the closest to your spec, and you can get it in Red or White if you must...

We like our S12 ION, but it falls down on battery life, and the keyboard is OK, but its not as good as the S10-3 or any Thinkpad.

interesting... do you know when the ETA for the X120e is ?

CES press releases all say "February".

With Lenovo, of course, you never know. But this seems like a pretty standard release, so I'd go with the estimate.

Yea I actually just got off the phone with a representative. He estimates that he will have the release information within the next week, but according to him that release date may actually be anywhere in the next 6 months. And Black>>> Red/White any day.
