Laptop Magazine have published their review of the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 netbook. 'The S12 has similar design features common to other models in the IdeaPad line; not only does it share traits with the smaller S10-2, but its keyboard is also reminiscent of the larger IdeaPad Y450. While it has the same polarizing pattern on its lid (which is either a subliminal advertisement for Target or misplaced nostalgia for 70s-era wallpaper), we like the S12's design a bit more than the S10-2, mainly owing to its larger size. While its edges are still beveled like the S10-2, they're not as pronounced, making the S12 seem more like the original S10, whose boxier design we admired. Still, the chrome-wrapped edges of the Samsung NC20, and the fact that it better conceals its six-cell battery (the S12's protrudes out the back) give the Samsung a slicker look.'
