I really want to fondle the S10. The keyboard looks better than the U110.

The translations offered on that web site Kevin advertised are quite surreal. How about this?

‘India is not the boost, I feel quite special.’

I know that feeling.

It appears that even the U110 Ideapad is not yet available in the UK (it’s not on the Lenovo UK website), so I assume that those of us in the UK shouldn’t get too excited about this.

Well, is it actually a new model or just different guts and a screen with a big black bezel around it inside the case of the S10? That’s a trick Asus has been pulling lately with some 9xxs, putting them in the 1000 shell.
