Laptop Logic has recently tested Lenovo s IdeaPad S10 Netbook and wrote for our website, a guest post, detailed summary of the review.enovo s new IdeaPad S10 Netbook comes with the same core components as most netbooks with slight variations: a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, and a 10.2 LED-backlit screen in the base configuration, and that is to be considered somewhat mediocre compared to competing models, with twice the RAM and hard disk space. Another thing that separates the S10 from the competition, but it is a very attractive design “it s slightly thinner than the popular MSI Wind and sport is a lowing Attractive design with chrome highlights.

The size and weight are pretty cut, with dimensions of 9.8 x 7.2a x 1.1c . The S10 carries only a 3-cell battery, weight, so that the controls in a moderate 2.4lbs. The keyboard is something to be desired. It feels more closely examining it sa 10.2 Netbook. A smartphone size Tab key, and an equally small right shift key is less than optimal, and there is no completely mute button.

The trackpad on the S10 is suitable for a Netbook, and the inclusion of a mini-Express card slot is an excellent step by Lenovo, but there are only two USB ports instead of the usual three. Other compounds including VGA-out, a multi-card reader, audio in out ports, Bluetooth and an Ethernet connection. A nice thing, in particular, is the ability to easily update. Both RAM and hard drive are easily accessible, in the likely event that you have to improve the 512MB module. Negative is that the 3-cell battery on top of less than 4 hours, even with light use.

Total Laptop Logic wasn t ecstatic about the Lenovo S10, but the conclusion was that there is still a lot of good features in the light of the affordable price point, and the design is appealing. The LED-backlit screen is great, but the keyboard could have been better. All in all, the editor had no problems recommends Netbook how it s also an attractive and affordable, but the buyer should be the weak base configuration and the relatively short lifespan of the battery included.
