Pros: Terrific design, Great keyboard Cons: Low battery life Bottom Line: The Lenovo X100e is an 11.6 inch business class netbook coming from the Thinkpad line and is currently priced at $514.95.

Nice review. It seems that Lenovo is trying to target the business market with some of their latest netbook releases. The battery life is a little disappointing but it is on par with other AMD Neo equipped models. The nice thing about going with a dual-core AMD processor (over ANY dual-core Atom netbook) is that the Neo processor performs more like a full fledged notebook while any Atom processor performs like a netbook. That is one of the drawbacks to getting an ION 2 netbook: you still get a netbook processor. Intel is making the Atom processor extremely power efficient so that netbooks are pushing the 10 hour mark but their performance is still sub-par even with the latest dual-core Atom chips. The 1.8GHz one coming out soon doesn't really perform any better than the older 1.6GHz Atom 330. I doubt we will really see any noticeable increase in performance from an Atom chip until Intel hits the 2.2-2.5GHz mark. I think the ULV Core i series processor will become cost effective and will have saturated the market by then.
