Lenovo S10 Video Overview, Positive Review
Oct 19th
Hot Hardware have posted up a short video giving an overview of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook:
The video gives a positive review of the Ideapad but, it also shows how cramped the S10’s keyboard is, an obvious drawback with many netbooks until you ‘get used’ to using them. That’s a shame as the sexy design, crisp 10 inch LCD screen, Atom processor and from $399 price tag makes the Lenovo a tempting choice for buyers. The build quality has also impressed many although, delays and a number of unhappy customers have marred the arrival of Lenovo’s new netbook.
The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is available in either red or white currently with black, pink and a blue models on the way in the future.
Quick Specifications:
OS: Windows XP Home
Processor: Intel Atom 1.6GHz
Memory: 512MB
Storage:80GB hard drive/1GB flash
