Seeing as every other laptop maker worth its salt is making some kind of subcompact notebook or netbook or tiny laptop or what-have-you, Lenovo has decided to get in on it. Who’ll be providing the hardware is up in the air, though Pegatron (love that name) is an option, having made Lenovo’s Ideapads, and Wistron is as well, having put together nearly a million X-series Lenovos.

I’d bet on Wistron personally, since they seem to have the volume thing down, and Lenovo is going to need to make a lot of these if they’re trying to hit the sweet spot between enterprise and consumer.
