It seems Lenovo is being selective in which markets get Linux on its new range of IdeaPad netbooks. "People in most markets Lenovo serves, including Singapore, China and the UK, will be offered the company's new IdeaPad S10 with either Microsoft Windows XP or a Linux OS, but Australian and US computer buyers will only be offered Windows XP according to Lenovo."

And unfortunally Lenovo followed the rule of not supplying what market doesn't demand (but only because it haven't heard about it!) with the overall desing of those laptops...
Specifically - like every netbook out there they have borderline usable/too small touchpad.
And they could be the best out there if only, instead touchpad, they intergrated trackpoint...
(yes, I know - touchpad vs. trackpoint is a "personal preference", however...there is a moment when touchpad becomes prustrating due to too small size)
