The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook may have a starting price of $349, but you can pick up an IdeaPad S10e from Buy.com for just under $300. The two computers are pretty much the same. They sport a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, a 10.1 inch 1024 x 600 pixel display, 512MB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, 802.11b/g WiFi and Bluetooth.
The netbook comes with a 3 cell battery and Windows XP Home Edition. While it may not have the largest hard drive, the fastest wireless connection, or the highest battery capacity, the price drop makes the Lenovo IdeaPad S10e one of the cheapest netbooks available with a 10 inch display.
Update: As Gordon points out in the comments, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10e typically has a 0.1 inch, 1024 x 576 pixel display. But the Buy.com product listing says this model has a 1024 x 600 pixel screen. It’s possible that the product page is wrong, so if you really want those extra pixels, you may want to contact Buy.com before placing an order.
@Brad
The S10e is 1024×576 I believe.

Interesting. The Buy.com page says it has a 1024 x 600 pixel display,
but retailer pages have been known to be wrong before.
The S10e really has 576px height screen, and because of that the top bezel is wider than in S10. And the worst thing is that sellers put up pictures of S10 instead of S10e.
I’ve drooled over the S10 since it was released so a deal on it could mean I cant resist any longer! Great news, thanks.
