This morning, Lenovo kicked off the smartbook category with its 10-inch Skylight. The first smartbook utilizes a 1GHz Snapdragonprocessor that allows it to do impressive things when compared to an Atom processor. This thing is smaller than many smartphones, weighs less than 2 pounds, can keep going for about 10 hours, and play HD video while in a web browser. Big news for what looks like a netbook.
The Skylight uses a Linux-based operating system that is heavily focused on internet use. It has 20GB of built in storage with up to 2GB of internet storage. Skylight’s desktop is focused on these web based gadgets that will bring you straight to sites such as YouTube, Amazon MP3, or Facebook.
Right now, the price is set at $499. But AT&T might lower the price when combined with a data plan. Whatever the cost, Lenovo plans to begin shipping in April.
