Lenovo S10s start shipping out

Well, it looks like anyone that ordered a Lenovo S10 netbook may be able to rest a bit easier, as at least some of 'em are now finally shipping out, making that supposed two-month delay look increasingly like a false alarm. Judging from the discussion on Slickdeals.net, it seems that both white and black models are shipping, although a few folks are also reporting that their ship date has been pushed to late October. Any movement with your order? Let us know in comments.

[Thanks, Chris and Lonnie]

Mine hasn't shipped out yet. Should I place my order?

[k2001 @ Sep 24th 2008 2:27PM]

If you don't place an order it will never shipped out.

[farfisa @ Sep 24th 2008 2:49PM]

I hear Christopher Wager's getting one.

[farfisa @ Sep 24th 2008 2:50PM]

...Wagner.

ha ha... crap.

[Matt @ Sep 24th 2008 3:49PM]

How do you expect it to ship if you haven't even placed an order...

[commuter @ Sep 24th 2008 1:56PM]

I'll wait for the Atom processor upgrade before I take the plunge!

[Brian @ Sep 24th 2008 3:31PM]

Have fun waiting until Q4 2009...

It won't be shipping in laptops until then.

[Neeko @ Sep 24th 2008 1:57PM]

Dont these have heating issues? The S10 was my 1st choice before i heard of the overheating problems.

[chuck @ Sep 24th 2008 2:09PM]

They don't overheat, they run as hot as most normal laptops though warmer than other netbooks. there is no stability issues relating to heat. and besides...winter is coming.

[k2001 @ Sep 24th 2008 2:28PM]

the overheating was cause by testing pcmark05 for one hour+ in very warm room temp.

[Jerphy @ Sep 24th 2008 1:57PM]

I got an email from Lenovo that my black one was shipped today also.

[Jash Sayani @ Sep 24th 2008 1:58PM]

Waiting for Atom dual core....

[Tripod @ Sep 24th 2008 2:01PM]

Ordered the Red Lenovo S10, my ship date still says 11/18/08. I called CS and was informed that my order be shipped on, or before 10/17/08. However, after complaining a couple of times about the delay of my order I got an additional $20 off. This is in addition to the 15% off coupon, and the free shipping. This really made it a fantastic deal, even I do have to wait.

[bob sakamano @ Sep 24th 2008 2:02PM]

everyone get to YOUR NEAREST LAURAL OAK STREET and TAKE CHRIS'S LAPTOP!!!

[RK @ Sep 24th 2008 2:09PM]

..mine (red one) still says Oct14 - same date it has been since they missed my original Sep16 ship date...

[kristoferman @ Sep 24th 2008 7:10PM]

Same here...

[James @ Sep 24th 2008 2:13PM]

Where is the order page??
Maybe I am blind, but I don't see the S10 on the Lenovo site.

Thanks

Never mind :)

[Jester @ Sep 24th 2008 2:23PM]

Yeah, my red one is also still delayed to mid-October, and the general availability of red ones is now pushed back to December. Guess the Chinese used all the red paint.

[szyszek @ Sep 24th 2008 2:29PM]

I ordered both black and red, got an email today stating black one shipped, no updates on the red (original September date still moved to 11/18).

[Jon @ Sep 24th 2008 2:29PM]

"Christopher Wagner" erased out his name, but forgot the other 2...

[Precurse @ Sep 24th 2008 2:46PM]

Even though the guy's name has been photoshopped out of the BILL TO field, I'll bet his last name is Wagner

[scrungew00t @ Sep 24th 2008 3:05PM]

I ordered one when it was first available on (late) 8/19. The original ship date was 9/23 and looks like that's now 10/21. Annoying, but better than the new November ship dates that others have gotten.

[m @ Sep 24th 2008 3:34PM]

i'm the same: i waited a few hours on 8/19 before taking the plunge, and originally got a target of 9/23. it now says 10/21. mine is black. the prospect of waiting til november 23 was disappointing, but i'm glad i didn't cancel.
do we know what color Christ Wagner ordered?

[Ryan @ Sep 24th 2008 3:42PM]

My red model was moved to 10/15, but I'm not complaining, 'cause it was 11/17 before.

[MrBoB @ Sep 24th 2008 3:51PM]

Have we seen a review of battery life on this one?

[Sarah @ Sep 24th 2008 3:52PM]

Mine is in my hand! I ordered on 8/19 around noon I think. Mine shipped yesterday from NC. I ran mine for an hour and it was still running cool. I think the heat issue is going to be comparable to any other laptop.

[Sarah @ Sep 24th 2008 3:54PM]

Sorry I forgot to mention mine is white

[cjstuff @ Sep 24th 2008 3:53PM]

My order for a red S10 was confirmed multiple times, alleged shipping time was never altered, and then Lenovo canceled my order a week or two ago without telling me. When I called Lenovo sales, I was told I have to go to the end of the line because my order was "invalid" (notwithstanding all the written confirmation I received from Lenovo) and my order would be treated like a new order.

No one at Lenovo with whom I've spoken appears able to reinstate the order, much less offer me an additional discount for all the time I've spent on the phone with them. Grrrr......

[Dennis @ Sep 24th 2008 6:06PM]

I had the same issue. I ordered a red one and replied back saying I still wanted it. Was out there until last week and then it said it was invalid. I called about it and they told me it had been cancelled and that they could not tell me why, but I could re-order it. Sent me over to sales but I gave up waiting for someone to pick up after 5 minutes.

I might just wait, and pick up a Blue one or something.

[napoli @ Sep 24th 2008 4:09PM]

I wish we had a discount program as good as Mr. Wagner's. I can only get the S10 for $403.88 through my company discount.

[Sarah @ Sep 24th 2008 4:24PM]

Slick deals, man! I got mine 370 and 390 after shipping.

[atbnet @ Sep 24th 2008 5:46PM]

I got mine for the same price plus 10% cash back from Live.com. I'll have to check my order when I get home, hope mine is shipping too.

The cheapest ever right now( i think) (for Lenovo S10) is here, and its Windows XP, so its cheap...

[golfreak @ Sep 24th 2008 10:13PM]

I ordered mine 8/19 black for $388.

[Thameth @ Sep 26th 2008 7:45AM]

Mine is currently on a UPS truck on its way to my house, should be getting it this afternoon! Woot! White, ordered on 8/20.

[Thameth @ Sep 27th 2008 2:11AM]
