Why the luxury netbook is a non-starter

Almost since the start of the PC industry's "race to the bottom" with netbooks, computer makers have been attempting to reverse course, or at least slow the pace. HP tried painting peonies on the Mini 1000 and charging $700 for it (you can now find the Vivienne...

Lenovo IdeaPad S10 4231

Lenovo's IdeaPad S10 Netbook has been a popular entry in the minilaptop sweepstakes for several reasons.
