But you asked to be given something, so who am I to argue?

Speaking of tear-downs, the "internal photos" provide an excellent guide to dissecting your toy. WiFi module is fairly accessible, allowing easy upgrade to 802.11n when that gets finalized.

Points lost: The glossy shell is going to be a yucky smudge magnet.]]>Aug 18th 2008 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/
Any other favorites? I'm in the market for something cheap and durable (whoa...okay, I'm talking about netbooks).]]>Aug 18th 2008 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 18th 2008 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/
My decision was swayed by the touchpad spec change. If I can't turn off touch-click then I cannot buy the Wind.

Either you love a touch click or you hate it....

Time to hock the EEE901 me thinks.

AGGGHHH.... To wait for the Dell E Slim 8.9 inch or not :-/ HALP!]]>Aug 18th 2008 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/
I feel your pain.

The speakers make the laptop look ugly and cheap. The s10 is much more attractive. Also, they must be about the same size.]]>Aug 18th 2008 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 18th 2008 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 18th 2008 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/
- The huge access panel on the bottom is described in the manual as a hard drive/RAM panel, so upgrades to these parts should be straightforward (confirmed by pics of the insides). Hear that, Acer?
- It uses a Broadcom WLAN card, but Linux users shouldn't be too worried about compatibility since Lenovo will be offering Linpus preloaded in some regions. (Unless they use two different cards...)
- As far as I can tell, there is only a single hardware switch (and duplicate Fn-key combo) to toggle both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on and off simultaneously.
- (Not in the FCC papers, but learned elsewhere:) An SD card in the card reader will stick out a fair bit (more than all the other netbooks, I think), but this should not be a big problem if we're talking about 80GB/160GB hard drives. Use it to dump photos, instead.
- The OneKey Rescue System indeed consists of a hidden partition with an image of the original install; you can invoke it by pressing a button above the keyboard. There are no included rescue disks, however.
- You can pop off the palm rest for access to the trackpad without taking out the keyboard, but why you would want to do that is beyond me.
- The "production" models pictured are black, blue, and red, all with white batteries. The finish on the black one looks too glossy and fingerprint-ridden for my taste, and even worse, it has a white keyboard (with a black deck)! There are conflicting photos of the color combinations available, but I guess we'll find out soon.
- Oh, and the Wi-Fi antenna is rated at 2.2 dBi, if you want to know.]]>Aug 18th 2008 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/
Removal of the palm rest allows access to the WiFi & BT modules, much simpler than opening up the rest of the chassis.

WiFi antenna is standard Thinkpad part. My Thinkpads have always had good reception. It's too bad Lenovo wouldn't just copy the Thinkpad X layout and use the Trackpoint instead of the pad, freeing up space to stretch the keyboard vertically. As it is, it's a bit squished.

The Rescue stuff is IMO a waste of HD space for a techie. SOP is typically a disk wipe, followed by a fresh OS install and an imaging of the install. That stuff is best on a bootable USB key.]]>Aug 18th 2008 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 18th 2008 6:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 18th 2008 4:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/
416MHz processor, 128MB RAM, 256MB Flash memory, for $500-$600. Its nice 10" display and five-hour battery-life couldn't rescue it.

It's hard to tell how close the so-dimm is to the SSD chips, but I guess that a double-sided so-dimm would be too thick to use. Otherwise a good design. The lenovo is 2nd on my list of netbooks, behind the 2133 (once the CPU is upgraded in the 2133). If it takes HP too long to ship a upgraded 2133, I will buy the lenovo S10. But I prefer the aluminum chassis, 1280x768 resolution, and powerful speakers of the HP more and am willing to pay for it. I would like a 10" screen with 1280x768 though, 8.9" seems a little too small.]]>Aug 18th 2008 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 18th 2008 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 18th 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 18th 2008 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 19th 2008 4:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/Aug 19th 2008 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/lenovos-ideapad-s9-s10-shows-up-in-fcc-database/
Does anybody have a copy of the User Guide? I would really like to read it over to get a better idea of the specs on this machine.

Thanks,
