    Nice device, played with one i ...chew -- 03/11/08

    Nice device, played with one in Taiwan a few months ago. What is disappointing is the price here in Australia and also no Linux option.

    The good: Keyboard and build.

    The bad: Windows XP and no Linux option

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Includes ExpressCard slot
  • Decent keyboard
The bad:
  • No SSD hard drive options
  • Unimpressive battery life
The bottomline:

Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.

Editors’ rating:

7.3/10

RRP: AU$699.00
