running. In an e-mail, Lenovo confirmed that it was developing a
smartbook based on the ARM Snapdragon processor and that they

smartbook, which adds 3G data telephony technology and GPS to a
netbook design and size-factor, will be built on top of the 1 GHz
Snapdragon chipset. This un-named Lenovo smartbook will be an
instant-on design with 720p HD video, GPS for location-based
services, and a large battery that can deliver power for 8 to 10
hours.”
