Lenovo PineView Netbook Runs Through FCC
It’s no surprise that the current Intel Atom platform is long in the tooth. After much chatter about the upcoming PineTrail platform, we’re about due to see a slew of products use Intel’s latest in a netbook. The first one caught on film at Wireless Goodness might be an unnamed Lenovo IdeaPad that is making the FCC rounds. There isn’t much to go on and it looks like most every other 10.1″ netbook we’ve seen in the past few years. Oh, but that telling label might make all the difference in the world: said IdeaPad will have a 1.66GHz PineView processor. Wasn’t that worth the wait? ;)
All other labeled specifications appear to be within normal operating parameters: 1024 x 600 display, 250 GB 5400 RPM hard drive and Wi-Fi. The keyboard looks fairly standard, but SlashGear notes that the trackpad is buttonless. The label also notes 2 GB of memory right from the get-go, so no need to spend more money on a RAM module after purchase. Of course, we’ll have to wait for an official announcement to see when that purchase will be, and for how much. Any guesses on the number of PineTrail-powered products announced at CES in January? I’ll wager a dollar on 83.

OMG, look at those fingerprints. Yuck.
That’s the first thing I thought when I saw that photo. Clean it at least for the photo. :)
I say around 75 will appear at CES .
yeah they need to wash down all those smudges…
I wonder, I was thinking of getting the Acer Aspire 1410 for the Holiday season. I wonder how well the new PineTrail platform will perform and if there will be a significant upgrade in the graphics?
I’ll also second HG’s guess thinking it’ll be a number close to 70-75 devices running it.
I’d say next year will be the year Windows XP dies too, since the newer netbook processors/chipsets will be driver exclusive to Windows 7.
I agree, Windows XP will officially die in 2010 since most processors will run Win7.
