It was not a secret that Dynamism would be offering the Viliv S10 Blade convertible netbook, however until now what was a secret was the official pricing and the release date. Thankfully, thanks to a recently updated Viliv S10 listing we can now confirm the pricing and when the S10′s will begin shipping. In terms more »

Yesterday we learned that Dynamism was soon going to begin selling the Viliv S10 Blade here in the US. In fact they have the S10 Blade listed as “available soon” in seven different configurations.

Lenovo has just announced the US availability of the IdeaPad S9 netbook. However it does not seem like it will attract the same attention as the slightly larger S10 has found. As for features, the S9 has an 8.9-inch display with a 1024 x 600 resolution, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 512MB RAM and a 4GB SSD. In addition it is running Linpus Linux Lite and weighs in at 2.4-pounds.

Another important item to point out is the overall measurements, (more on this to follow) which come in at 9.8 x 7.2 x 1-inches. The IdeaPad S9 also features Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Ethernet, Bluetooth, a 0.3-megapixel webcam, stereo speakers, two USB ports, built in card reader, ExpressCard slot and a VGA output.

This latest FCC showing comes not as not much of a surprise, but seems to almost be a formality, a right of passage so to speak. We have already seen the IdeaPad S9 and S10 a few times, but at least this listing makes them a little more official.

An interesting item to note that has come from this particular listing is that it covers both the S9 and S10 IdeaPad, and it also has just one User Guide, which just goes to show how little difference there will be between the two models. The main difference of course would be the display size. The S9 has an 8.9-inch display while the S10 has the slightly larger 10-inch display.

Otherwise things seem pretty standard here although there is a nice “hard drive/RAM panel” on the bottom of the notebooks, which would lead one to believe that both of those items will be easily serviced by the end-user. Keep reading to check out a few of the dissection images…
