    I was look at this notebook, but in the long run, I decided to go with the Acer Aspire One, as I was able to load MAC OSX on it. Sweeeeet!

    What kind of problems Satish?

  4. Michel says:

    Do you know how long does the extended battery holds? because 3′40” is impressive as for a 3-cell one. Nice post BTW :)

  5. Danu says:

    Isn’t the high heat due to the compact space within the laptop?
    That’s what I heard from some other websites. Any how, great review on the S10. I think I plan to wait until the price of netbook drop more or at least when the second generation comes.

    I bought this netbook, and I am really pleased by its performance. I have had no problems with heat, or any other type of problems. I could hardly believe that something as small and stylish as this could be as fast and practical! and a nice bonus is that it can fit right into my handbag, so I do not need to carry around an extra (heavy ) laptop bag when I go to meetings. I must also say that lot of the reviews I read before buying it were very positive,but I guess that doesnt matter if ‘all my friends’ bitch about it. Did you know that Lenovo is the old IBM? Probably not – I guess.

  7. Sparta says:

    I’ve loved the reviews on the laptops here… I currently have an Apple Macbook and am looking for a PC to go along side it.

    I will continue checking back to see what you review…

    Thank you for the review here. I’m writing this comment on a Lenovo T500. Reliable machine. It is exciting to see the different types of lap tops out there. It’s fun to think how things might change when more people join the cloud through mobile computing. Please keep the good work!

  11. [...] computing definition of IBM in exchange, IBM got a 20% stake in Lenovo. That is why names like the Lenovo Ideapad and Lenovo Thinkpad, will sound very familiar as it was former IBM [...]
