No Linux IdeaPad For Lenovo's US Customers

Posted by timothy on from the too-bad-because-I-want-one dept.

narramissic writes "When Lenovo's new IdeaPad 'S' series netbooks hit stores in October, U.S. buyers will only be given one option: Windows XP on the IdeaPad S10 (making it not so much a series as a single offering). Meanwhile, people in most markets Lenovo serves, including Singapore, China and the U.K., will be offered both of the company's new IdeaPad netbooks (the S10, which has 10.2-inch screen, and the S9, which has an 8.9-inch screen), and the choice of either Microsoft Windows XP or a Linux OS. Before you start feeling too sorry for yourself, consider the price tag: the S10 will sell for £319 (US$629) in the U.K., but in the U.S. the starting price is $399." Liliputing (a cool site for anyone interested in sub-notebook computing) has posted a few bits on the IdeaPad, including some short videos.

    what kind of amazing stuff does the UK gov't provide in return for those enormous taxes?

    It certainly doesn't go to dental benefits, so where is this money going? Genuinely curious here.

    I never noticed it before, but Chinese people really look silly in Western clothing. Of course, there are a billion of them, so MMV.
