Lenovo's IdeaPad S10 gets thoroughly tested on video

Lenovo's IdeaPad S10 has already started shipping out to those who were sold from the word go, but if you're still hungry to see how this thing performs, HotHardware has the goods. In a recent video hosted up by the site, we're shown a hands-on overview of the unit itself, a peek at the innards, a look at multimedia performance and even an energy test. Got five minutes to spare for a netbook you're seriously considering? Hit the read link and mash play.

It is nice to know lenovo got it right. I was a bit.... apprehensive?

The pricepoint is good, though I, like the reviewer, wish there was a larger battery option. Will wait for that

"IdeaPad" would have been a great name for a small device with a writeable surface (touch screen). Of course, ThinkPad would have too. We're far from the original visions of Kay et all's DynaPad, completely constrained by the limitations of contemporary operating systems.

whatever you do, just don't buy it direct from lenovo. their customer service SUCKS.

Missing the red-dot? That's my favorite IBM/Lenovo feature...

[robert7456 Posted Oct 17th 2008 4:43PM]

Every time I see S10 i think its $10.

"Lenovo introduces $10 notebook"

I was like "WHAT !?!? AWESOME!!!!

Fantastic - I was hoping it was a standard 2.5" drive - anyone know any reason why it wouldn't be happy with a 500GB 2.5" 9.5mm high Seagate drive?

I really want this to be my portable download station and music server. I have next to no space in my apt and dont want to invest in a Sonos or similar. This will be on 24/7 downloading stuff and playing it out through whatever sound system I happen to be within pluggable range. Goodbye $399!

The lack of a IBM nipple is unexcusable in a little laptop.
I also want one designed with teh 6 cell built into the design.
