Hi guys,
loooong time reader of this website and first deal posted so please give positive :)
I bought this morning from HT at north ryde the Lenovo S10-2 BLK. I went there yesterday to buy the previous version and the guy told me there is this one on order for $358.
I went back this morning there and I was lucky as they have received 50 at North Ryde this morning. so I picked up one and they updated their website last night "was not there before"
Apparently the difference between the previous version is that it is smaller and lighter but missing the expansion slot for whever needs it.
Cheapest on Static Ice is 424
Enjoy

I have not opened the box yet so don't know what it looks like "escept from youtube".
Good price for a little netbook, but there seem to have been a flood of cheap netbooks of late so it's kind of hard to get excited about another one - I assume they're all trying to get rid of XP stock. Reviews of this netbook are OK, though not great battery life if you're planning on lots of use away from a power socket. See http://www.cnet.com.au/lenovo-ideapad-s10-339292968.htm
