It's 12", weighs just a little more, and measures an extra inch in length and width. It gets six hours of battery life and I think I would appriciate those extra two inches of visual real estate (especially given how much I used PhotoShop for Hydrogeology). While weighting 3.5 oz more than my ASUS 1000 (including the six cell battery) I think the boost in screen size and multimedia performance is worth looking at. A version of the S-12 is already available with a more conventional chipset, but Lenovo will be releasing the nVidia Ion version later this year, that's the one I'm looking at getting.Charohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095060436262411882noreply@blogger.com
