Following a leak of service manual and user guide of IdeaPad A10 on Lenovo's website, Lenovo has confirmed to take a bold move to launch the first laptop with pure Android OS.

Although the laptop is not yet officially launched, it was listed in Amazon Germany for €249 (~RM1068). From the price, the laptop is to be marketed as a mid-range touch device with basic features. Let's have a look at the spec:

The Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU and 256MB RAM. It uses an SD card for booting and long-term storage. Raspberry Pi runs on Linux & possibly Android (someone is working on the porting). There is a Debian-based OS known as Raspbian which is optimized for this board.

You can get this board from Element14 for RM125.
