Lenovo Unleashes Super-thin Skylight Smartbook

by JP Mangalindan on January 6, 2010 at 10:00 AM

With the massive success of netbooks, companies like Lenovo discovered a lot of consumers aren't so much interested in cutting-edge notebooks anymore as they are convenience. So it set out to create an extremely portable device with enough power to fill the niche between smartphones and netbooks: the smartbook.

For the most part, the 10.-inch Skylight accomplishes that goal. The sub-two-pounder uses Qualcomm's 1 GHz Snapdragon processor along with 20 gigabytes of internal storage, a 1.3 megapixel camera, integrated USB flash drive, AT&T WWAN support, 10-hour battery, and a full-sized keyboard. At $499, this smartbook retails for a bit more than most netbooks (and even many regular laptops), so users will have to think hard about whether they want to sacrifice the extra cash for added portability.
