Lenovo IdeaPad G455 AMD based notebook spotted on CES
Lenovo has showed off a bundle of new products on this CES, noticeably its ARM based Thinkpads, the skylight smartbook and the LePhone Android mobile. The notebook we’re going to introduce definitely is not as attractive as the Thinkpads. It’s called IdeaPad G455 from the G series. The people on zol.com.cn spotted several pictures of this notebook on the CES, giving us the chance to see how it look like. The IdeaPad G455 is the first notebook from the Ideapad series that is based on AMD platform, the AMD Tigris notebook platform, which comes with good performance on multimedia. That’s all we know currently.

Since when does Windows 7 support ARM?

they really messed it up
they frankly told ” the AMD Tigris notebook platform” which have nothing about ARM.
AMD/ATi sold out its handheld chips division about the same time, as nVidia begin diving into Tegra ARM+Graphocs chips family
So when you hear AMD, it is not ARM
Tigris is good as home multimedia platform, but given usual AMD TDP, i think this thin note will be used only plugged into AC or on the run between two AC slots
I think it will be only hour or two on battery, comparing to 4-5 hours of intel-based netbooks.
