Looking for another decent option when it comes to a portable media player? Well Amazon has just listed the latest, or should I say largest Cowon S9 PMP. We have had the 16GB model available for a few months now, however, just recently, Cowon introduced the 32GB model in the South Korean market and it more »

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.

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…

Lenovo has just offered up an official site detailing the pricing and specs of their new IdeaPad Lite S9 netbook.
