5 Stylist Netbooks of 2011

4. Lenovo IdeaPad S205 The S205 gives off a subtle but sophisticated vibe like that the glossy plastic lid has a subtle artistic pattern to it and that the brown dominates the entire notebook. The deck has a striated pattern, which makes a cool record-scratch sound when you rub your fingernails over it. This not only keeps fingerprints away, but also feels good to touch. Weighing just 3.3 pounds, the S205 is the kind of notebook you can carry around all day without feeling weighed down. It?s powered by AMD E-350 1.6GHz processor, AMD Redeon HD 6310M graphic card, 2 to 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB of storage, built in micro phone webcam, card reader, stereo speakers, WiFi, HDMI, and two USB 2.0 ports. The Lenovo IdeaPad S205 is a speedy, oversized netbook that can serve as primary laptop, but this configuration is a bit pricey compared to others in its class. Available at the price of 20,830 ($424).
