Lenovo S10-3 gets reviewed



I have always considered the Lenovo S10 netbooks to be one of the better choices in a crowded netbook market. The design of both S10 and the S10-2 were very appealing to both consumers and business users.

Laptop Magazine has published a detailed review of the new 2.6 pound Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3. The reviewer finds Lenovo has done a lot of things right with the S10-3. They managed to improve what was already a good keyboard into a better one. The speakers in particular is "positively booming" for a netbook.

On the inside, the S10-3 is kitted out with Intel's new 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor and GMA 3150 graphics. It has a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and runs Windows 7 Starter Edition.

However, in the interest of saving space, the touchpad buttons for the S10-3 is integrated into the touch area, much like how Dell has done for its past few netbooks. This could need some getting used to. The reviewer was not impressed, "The cursor jumped around at times, especially when trying to select a block of text. Also, the buttons are somewhat stiff."
