Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Reviewed: Sophisticated white power brick for budget price
October 22, 2008
There are no huge surprises to be found in the Lenovo IdeaPad S10, but the machine impresses at every turn. It’s pint-sized, light (2.7 pounds), and bereft of big power, featuring the now-standard 1.6-GHz Atom CPU and 1 GB of RAM.
The Good: Amazing combination of price and performance. Sophisticated, decidedly non-toy-like styling. Touch-typing is as easy as it gets in this category.
The Bad: White laptop, white power brick, black power cable: Epic design fail! Some trouble getting USB hard drives recognized. Sub-two-hour battery life and slightly dim screen are letdowns on an otherwise near-perfect device.
The Bottomline: Lenovo’s last big surprise in store for you is its price: A mere $469, which is on par with many 8.9-inch netbooks and far, far cheaper than most 10.2-inch models and even a little cheaper than Asus’s spec-comparable Eee PC 1000H.
Price: $469.
