Lenovo on Tuesday introduced the industry's first capacitive multitouch netbook tablet PC, the IdeaPad S10-3t.
The new IdeaPad S10-3t -- which is accompanied by the new, non-swiveling, non-touch S10-3 netbook, pictured below -- slaps a capacitive 10.1-inch LED backlit touchscreen on a 180-degree swiveling tablet netbook PC. (It can also fold over to transform into a touch tablet.)
The system also has a Quick Start 2.0 "instant on" function -- a good idea for a tablet PC.
The S10-3t comes with Maplife location-based mapping software, VeriFace face recognition and an Active Protection System to protect the hard drive against jostling.
