The Lenovo machine has a 11.6" 1366 x 768 display rather than the netbook standard of 10.1" 1024*600, but that's probably the minimum viable display.
Apparently it's got a N3450, which Anandtech points out is a 4 core, 4 thread out of order chip clocked at 1.1 to 2.2 Ghz. I.e. it's a bit quicker than the old dual core, in order N570 in my old Asus 1015PX which I stopped using because Chrome run like a dog. You can also get 4GB of Ram compared with 2GB mac on the 1015PX and 128GB of eMMC storage compared to a 160GB 5400rpm ultra low cost and sluggish hard drive.
Sitting at the bottom of the stack is the Lenovo 100e. There are two versions, one with Windows and the other a Chromebook. The Windows version sports "up to" an 11.6-inch display with a 1366x768 resolution powered by an Intel Celeron N3450 Apollo Lake processor and up to 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. It also has up to 128GB of eMMC storage, a reversible HD camera, spill-proof keyboard, and a 45Wh batter that's good for up to 10 hours of battery life.
Windows 10 S can be upgraded to full Windows 10 too. But I'm guessing for an educational environment they want something which is locked down so the little shits can't install malware on it. Then again you could always reimage the machines when they go fubar.

It's worth pointing out this is incredibly obscure and may well have been invented by Guardian journalist keen to pad their article out to the minimum word limit. Unlike 'septic', which was originally an armed forces thing from the friendly but bantering relationship between the US and UK but has now spread to the point almost all Brits are aware of it .
Cockney rhyming slang for a yank (american). The whole phrase is 'Septic Tank' - but as with most cockney rhyming slang the first word is used only. The reason for the link is that, like a septic tank nobody likes a filthy stinking american!!!
What are you fucking shooting at me for you filthy fucking septic cunt, im on your side!!!!
If anyone accuses me of being a Russian troll I'm going to put on my bulletproof ushanka, moustache and greatcoat, pick up my Makarov pistol and go round and deal with them. For ze Motherland!
That's a photo ID picture and hence awful. If you met her in a bar she might look OK.
Admittedly I've spent too much time in Asia so anyone with blonde hair and blue eyes is an immediate eye catcher. Plus there's the fact she is clearly somewhat smart.
11. Why use a JPEG for the listings instead of text?
Because I want precise control over the layout. And because it seriously annoys "real ale" Internet users who do all their browsing on text-based hand-held calculators, and that arouses me.
Or they could blacklist the bidirectional and combining diacritic stuff and allow the rest.
But know their mentality is like that of dark ages peasant. Consuming dirty water until you die of dysentery was good enough for grandad and dad and it's good enough for them too.
2) How far away from the launching submarine would 100 Mt warhead need to be? 100 Mt is obviously an enormous amount and explosions under water are more damaging.
3) How is an 'intercontinental torpedo' propelled? It seems the propulsion system would add more weight to an already heavy concept
4) How is it guided? GPS won't work because it's underwater. Submarines use all sorts of subtle techniques like passive sonar to avoid revealing their location and ultra low frequency radio transmissions. A human crew on a sub can do this. It's far from clear a drone submarine is viable
5) Why salt the bomb? That would poison the oceans over a vast area.
It just sounds like the Russians have leaked this in attempt to make the US give up on missile defence. There's no evidence this project got funded. And Russia is so cash strapped it didn't even an SLBM subs patrolling as recently as 2006. Putin has pushed for new SLBMs and new subs to put them with the result the US no longer has nuclear primacy but that process was not exactly embarrassment free - tests failed for a while.
The idea Russia is going to get what is effectively a drone submarine working anytime soon when it seemed to have significant teething troubles doing what was the Russian equivalent of an Ohio class replacement is absurd. Most likely they're bullshitting in the hope it gives the US left an excuse to say that 'ballistic missile defence can't non ballistic missile threats, therefore it's not worth doing'.
Actually what it reminds me of is the US announcement of 'Star Wars' aka SDI. It wasn't technically practical then but the Russians didn't know that. If you read Gorbachev's autobiography him and Shevardnadze used SDI to make the case that the USSR had lost the Cold War and it was time to surrender. Rumours of this device are presumably intended to cause the same sentiment in the US.
Also best hope your opponents don't illegally pay money through a law firm which then pays an an ex MI6 guy to act as a cutout to talk to the Russians and to get a dossier of bullshit and then use that dossier to get a FISA warrant. Even though James Comey called it salacious and unverified,
CHRIS WALLACE: Let's turn to the revelation this week that it turns out that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the opposition research that led to the writing, the formulation, of this Russian dossier that has made all kinds of accusations against President Trump and his campaign.
What do you think is the significance of that revelation?
GOWDY: Well, one of the areas of significance is just how hard the Democrats in Congress fault Republicans for trying to gain access to this information. If it were up to Adam Schiff and other Democrats, who, of course, want all the facts to come out, they want all the facts of Russia to come out, except who finance the dossier. So, that's the most important thing to me is how unserious the Democrats in the House have been about uncovering all of the facts.
I am interested in who paid for the dossier because that helps you understand motive and intent and whether or not you can rely on the document. I am much more interested in whether or not the Department of Justice and the FBI relied upon that dossier and initiating a counterintelligence investigation or in court findings. That is really important to me.
I don't expect the DNC to be objective. Almost by definition, opposition research is not objective. I do expect an entity represented by a blindfolded woman to be objective. And if they relied on that dossier and they didn't corroborate it or vet it, then we have a serious issue and that's the next thing that House Intel is trying to find out, is whether or not the U.S. government relied on it.
WALLACE: Yes. Let me ask you about that, because your -- what -- the two points you are making, and I agree, these are two very important questions. Did the FBI based its original investigation, at least in part of the dossier? And when you talk about court representations, that's the possibility that they use the dossier to convince a FISA court to allow the FBI to wiretap people in Trump world, Trump associates.
Do you have any evidence of that? I understand the investigation is just beginning.
GOWDY: Well, actually, the investigation is not just beginning. We've been trying for a long time to get the Department of Justice to give us access to this information, and frankly it took the speaker of the House this week to tell the department that we're not going away. You know, Chris, people don't like it when I say this, but it's actually true -- it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between the Obama Department of Justice and the current Department of Justice in terms of transparency and their willingness to share information with Congress.
This is a really simple request. Did you rely on the dossier? And if so, did you vet it before you relied upon it? You can answer that in 30 seconds. But it's taken three months for the Department of Justice, and only recently have they agreed to give us the information.
So, the battle is not just with House Democrats. Unfortunately, it's also with the Department of Justice, the access of the information we need to wrap up this investigation.
WALLACE: What about the fact that the Clinton campaign and the DNC, which paid $12 million for the law firm, Perkins Coie, that paid for the opposition research that led to the dossier, that in the FEC filings, it simply says $12 million to Perkins Coie, the law firm, for legal work? No mention of the fact that it was also paying for oppo
I used to shill for cancer. I mean I had some ethical qualms and so on but it always paid my invoices on time which is more than you can say for most of my clients. And at least I wasn't shilling for the Democrats. They offered more than cancer but I just don't think I could have lived with myself.

The whole story sounds like complete and utter bollocks quite frankly.
Consider
1) How big is the torpedo. There's a picture of the original Tsar Bomba here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
It's enormous. Way larger than a torpedo tube.
2) How far away from the launching submarine would 100 Mt warhead need to be? 100 Mt is obviously an enormous amount and explosions under water are more damaging.
3) How is an 'intercontinental torpedo' propelled? It seems the propulsion system would add more weight to an already heavy concept
