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.
I compared Asus and Dell before I decided on netbook. I was a bit weary because IBM sold this line to a Chinese company and I was worried that the quality would be diminished.
The comparable Asus that I tested felt cheap, the Dell that a freind has was nice quality, but did not have all the perks that the Lenovo has.
The 14 points that sold me on this purchase:
1)The 10.2 inch screen is crystal clear and makes for better viewing pleasure. It is a matte screen which I like better than the glossy screen when using in direct sunlight.
I bought this mostly for my 10 year old daughter, and for my occasional use. I wanted something small, and relatively inexpensive (compared to a regular laptop). We have had it about two weeks and I’m very pleased with it.

I bought mine in White. I took out the Amazon credit card and got 30 bucks off. I had spent nigh on a month trying to get this decision right. I sold my Asus EEE 901 for 280 and got this for 260 all in.
This machine is a panacea to portable computing needs. I upgraded the ram, but that’s not really necessary… I use it with home broadband, airport broadband and a Verizon USB broadband connection and it goes like hell.
A year ago I purchased a Compaq laptop for home use, thinking that it would also be portable if need be. Well, laptops can be carried around but they are also a bit heavy. For my birthday this year, after researching netbooks, I purchased a Lenovo Ideapad S10 from Amazon along with a neoprene carry case (with handles) and 2gb memory. With the carry case the netbook is about the same size and weight as a small purse! I don’t play games or download lots of photos or videos, so this netbook with an upgrade of memory is perfect for my needs. After doing additional research, I’ve acquired an SSD to replace the hard drive and a SanDisk 8gb memory card for back up, etc. Eventually I’ll load my Microsoft Home & Student 2007 Suite so that the netbook will have the same data and word processing capabilities as my laptop. The Lenovo hooked up right away with Sprint broadband, too. So far, so good — very pleased with my purchase and with Amazon’s great service!
