With the S10-2 Lenovo played a game of give and take.
On the outside, the netbook looks and feels cheap. Everything is plastic — even the metal looking bits. This makes for a very light netbook, and one that can survive a drop without much damage [speaking from experience]. Even the decorative colors look like a half-hearted attempt at dressing this device up. Finally, the battery has a hump in it that allows device to sit at an angle. This is a great feature because it allows the netbook too cool efficiently, but at the same time makes S10-2 a bit thick. If aesthetics are important to your computing devices this might not be the netbook for you.
The Lenovo S10-2 was bought for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas. So far we have not had any problems with it. It’s perfect for what she needs it for. She plays online games and surfs the net with it. She loved the cosmetic looks of it and has enjoyed having one that is different from everyone else. The battery seems to live up to it’s title of 6 hours, she’s on it all day and only needs to plug it once per day. We will have to upgrade from the Window’s 7 Starter, that was the only down side. The camera works really well as well as how clear the speech is on the microphone.
A short video showing my son plays FMS latest version on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10 The game is very smooth, no glitching with 2 GB of RAM! This is the esky radio that came with a helicopter through the USB cable. everything works perfectly!
The IdeaPad S10-2 is Lenovo’s lightest and thinnest netbook, starting at just 2.65 lbs and 0.7-inch thin. New and improved features make this Lenovo’s easiest to use yet.
Just got it today. It is pinker than it seems in the picture (I thought it looked sort of lavender). It’s nice and tiny and light. The battery helps position the computer so that it sits up off the work surface and can breathe. The Windows 7 thing seems to be great so far: a lot better than Windows Vista. I’m not sure if it says anywhere in the description, but it comes with Word installed, which makes my life as a student much easier. I’m not a computer expert by any means, but from what I can tell, this easily will serve its purpose as an extra machine to take notes on and take to the library. It’s very quick on the Internet, as well. A great deal for the money…as far as I can see.
(I posted this to a forum discussion but felt it might do some good here as well.)
Windows 7. Brand new. The verdict isn’t in yet. Now it’s a “wait & see” game of which problems will come up & what fixes will be released.
For me, this little computer is perfect because of the size. It does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I use an external. Both the computer & the drive fit right into a pistol case. I would suggest upgrading the memory.
