We know that Lenovo can do super-skinny ultra-portables - the ThinkPad X300 is proof of that - but the Chinese manufacturer is reportedly planning to enter the netbook market by the end of September this year, according to manufacturing sources.

DigiTimes reports that Compal Electronics, Wistron and Pegatron Technology are all possible candidates to manufacture the said to be coming soon netbook for Lenovo.

Compal apparently currently makes mainstream notebooks for Lenovo, while Wistron manufacturers the Lenovo X-series ultra-portables and Pegatron makes IdeaPads.

This debut into the competitive netbook market has been confirmed by Ken Wong, general manager of Lenovo Taiwan that DigiTimes says "confirmed that the company is considering launching a netbook product designed with consideration for both consumer and enterprise markets".

  • By labeling your image "Lenovo to launch a netbook image 1," you seem to be trying to imply that it is an image of the upcoming Lenovo netbook. Tsk, tsk. Posted by DougC-3, USA
  • Sorry if you felt misled DougC-3, you're picking up on a standard naming convention we use across the site that we use to name our images. We will however take the comments on board and see what we can do to fix this.

  • Well, to be honest, I didn't really feel mislead. I was just feeling sort of grumpy because I wanted the new S10 to have a TrackPoint like the ThinkPad pictured, but I knew the chances were nil that Lenovo would put one on an entry level netbook. (I know other blogs have similar pictures and labeling conventions.)

    Still, I can't help but hope that a TrackPoint will be on a future Lenovo netbook. I think it's a superior navigation tool and a great space saver for these little devices.

    Thanks for the information that you provide.
