Lenovo Introduces IdeaPad S100 and S205 Ultra-Portable netbooks

Lenovo has used CES 2011 as the excuse to open up the floodgates of its laptop range. Lenovo unveiled two new ultra-portable netbooks, the IdeaPad S100 (10.1-inch) and S205 (11.6-inch). Both are “stylish internet companions” which boasts ultra-slim designs, long battery lives and optional integrated 3G connectivity.

The S100 is a slim, stylish-looking affair, that replaces Lenovo’s outgoing S10 models. The Ideapad S205, meanwhile, has a slightly more serious-looking chassis, but looks like it could provide the most enjoyment of the two.

Both netbooks sport additional features designed to help them stand out from the netbook hoards. The S100 has a Quick Start ‘instant on’ feature that loads a basic Linux GUI, whereas S205 lets you log into Windows 7 Home Premium with face recognition also. They also have Lenovo’s OneKey Rescue System, which backs up all your data at the push of a button, plus DirectShare, which synchronises files on the netbook with other laptops without you needing to connect to the Interwebs.
