Lenovo S10-2 Netbook with 720P Screen Resolution

Do you know any e-shops that I can buy the S10-2 HD? that product doesn't sell in my country so I have to buy from abroad.

It may be easier to change the panel yourself than to locate a S10-2 with 720p screen. AFAIK, it was only released in Germany.

You can also wait for the S10-3s. It's supposed to have an option for a 720p screen when it is released. Then again, so did the S10-2 which never happened in the states.

You can't find an 720p panel itself, I tried that,too. I found an e-shop in Germany with the S10-2 720p and already bought it, excellent purchase, I think the N280 is not much difference to the N450, especially with the GHz. Didn't find any S10-3 with 720p screen.

Which e-shop?

The N2** series are 32-bit architecture, the N4** series have an on-die GPU and are 64-bit. [1]

I know that N4** has 64bit architecture but I don't like 64bit Windows.

You can run 32-bit OSes on 64-bit processors, they can handle both types of instructions. You just won't get any of the memory address increases so will only be able to deal with 4GB of RAM... not an issue on a netbook!

The N4** series netbooks have different chipsets because they don't need the GPU, and they generally use less power; so your battery life will be greater.

I know all this stuff about 64-bit processors and as there's not any memory limit issue on netbooks to 4GB, it doesn't worth it. The only difference is the chipset of course, but ok, how much less power it uses that it worths paying more? And till now, I haven't seen any S10-3 with 720p which is far better than resolution 1024x600. So, I prefer the 720p display than the N4** processor.
