Some of them are quite nice but they are all locked on to that horrid wxga. Literally $50 more (for them, so maybe $75 extra when they sell it) and you get a MUCH nicer screen.
"Lenovo also indicates in their press release that the S405 supports up to 1TB of storage, presumably if you give up the DVD for a second HDD" Do they use sub 9.5mm 2.5" HDDs then? Because there are plenty of 1TB 2.5" HDDs at 9.5mm height. :)
True. I just found it odd mostly that they mention 1TB on the S405 but not on the S400/S300. I'm not sure if there's a reason for the discrepancy, as it seems like it would mostly be a case of saying, "Okay, we'll let people choose to install a 1TB drive."

x2, I would be all over one of these for the wife as an upgrade from an atom netbook, but that screen totally kills the deal.Death666Angel - Friday, August 31, 2012 - link
