Lenovo IdeaPad S12 Ion Netbook Exceeds Microsoft’s PDF Guide

As we reported yesterday, Lenovo became the first system vendor to notify the netbook, which is powered by NVIDIA low-power Ion platform, which couples Intel Atom processor chipset GeForce 9400M. First Ion-based netbook has been designed with 12-inch screen, which is a cross between low-power, ultra-portable computer and a small-big netbook.

However, 12-inch Form Factor goes beyond the guidelines imposed by the Intel and Microsoft, which set a number of restrictions on their small notebook products. netbook form factor was largely discussed since the first such device. At first, Intel issued a directive, as netbook form factor should be, a measure that should be restricted netbook notebook from cannibalizing sales. However, these “restrictions” are quickly ignored by different suppliers of the opening of the Atom-netbooks with different form factors.

In a recent turn of events and according to a leaked document, supposedly coming from Microsoft, the Redmond, Washington-based software giant has also pointed a couple of restrictions for its upcoming Windows 7 operating system. As some of you already know This operating system was specifically designed to serve both mainstream and low-end systems, unlike the current operating system Windows Vista, which requires more resources from the user’s PC. Company has included a number of restrictions for Windows 7 SKU for small notebooks, restrictions which are currently beyond the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 netbook Ion. According to the document should be small notebook, or netbook, may be greater than 10.2 inches and more than 1 GB of RAM.

Systems must be equipped with either a high-capacity 250GB HDD, or High-Performance 64GB SSD. Processor may not exceed 2 GHz CPU and the thermal design must be less than or equal to 15W. Fortunately, no limitations in the graphics department and thermal specifications for the processor and graphics chipset excluded. However, Lenovo IdeaPad S12 is a 12-inch screen and supports higher memory capacity, due to chipset NVIDIA Ion. guidelines set by Intel and Microsoft are part of a strategy to avoid netbook systems take too many other computing segments. Time will tell if these hardware restrictions will impact the growing netbook segment.
