Lenovo has added two new Atom-based computers to its mix, bringing new technology, the IdeaPad S10-3 and the C200 nettop.

The IdeaPad S10-3 is about 0.63 inches thick, one of the thinnest netbooks, and uses the same design techniques as the ThinkPad Edge. It has similar rounded chiclet keys and a trackpad running the lip, as it uses a MacBook likely design without buttons, which clicks the pad itself. The S10-3 is netbook is relatively customizable, allowing the choice of a 1.66GHz or 1.83GHz Atom processor, up to a 720-pixel 10-inch display and 3G as an option. Disk space is between 160GB and 320GB, possible to be outfitted with a 16GB or 32GB SSD while used with a lightweight operating system like Windows XP. Most computers come with Windows 7, either Home Starter or Home Basic, and also have earlier instant-on Linux boot to serve quick tasks. The new netbook will ship mid-April and will cost $380 in its basic configuration.

The C Series all-in-one will be completed with the C200, the first nettop of Lenovo with NVIDIA’s Ion for graphics. It can have the 1.6GHz Atom D410 or 1.66GHz D510 processor, in contrast with the single-core options for the C300. The 18.5-inch display has a resolution of 1,366×768, but it can have a single-touch screen. Standard memory is 4GB of RAM and permanent storage between 160GB and 500GB. There also is a requisite DVD burner. The C200 is scheduled to ship sometime in April, but without having a precise date available, and will be slightly more expensive, as it starts from $399.
