Lenovo Lenovo S10-2 10-Inch Black Netbook – 6 Cell Battery Review
Im gonna start saying that this is such a nice netbook, from the design to the functionality, size and weight.
Some say this has an issue with the fan and claim that is too noisy but thats not true mine is very quiet, doesnt overheats.
keyboard is good not as normal keyboard but you get used too it.
the 6 cell battery is a charm,with low brihtness you can get up to 8 hours.
some key features are 1key recovery,web cam mic,face recognition.
I love lenovo this is my first netbook and im already using it more than my primary laptop (wich is an ideapad y510)its just so easy to get on the web.
It has an quick boot option that puts you on the web or skype or im in less than 30secs, this option is so handy.
overall i recommend this netbook its good on design, price, and performance, i have never had any issue with my other lenovo and this one seems to be good as well.

Lenovo Lenovo IdeaPad S10 10.2-Inch Red Netbook – 3 Cell Battery Review
I bought this mostly for my 10 year old daughter, and for my occasional use. I wanted something small, and relatively inexpensive (compared to a regular laptop). We have had it about two weeks and I’m very pleased with it.
Pros
* The keyboard is smaller than a full size laptop but it still usable, even for my large hands. (extra large gloves are typically tight for me). I wouldn’t want to write a book with it, but for short periods of typing, such as blogging or e-maiing it works fine.
* The response time is good. Don’t expect it to be as fast as a high performance laptop or desktop, but the speed is certainly acceptable. (and I’m the impatient type).
* Although the Lenovo website says that face recognition software is not offered on this model, ours had it included. It works very well as long as the lighting is fairly good. You do not have to sign-in using the keyboard; just sit in front of the screen for a few seconds while it recognizes your face. It also takes a picture of anyone trying to access the laptop. If someone is trying to use it without your permission, you’ll be able to see who it was.
* It comes with a Lenovo front end that sits on top of windows. It offers you icons for the internet, online gaming, etc. You can exit it to go to the normal Windows desktop.
* It looks very sharp and is well designed. Ours is a deep red on the outside and white on the inside.
* Battery life has been very good. I don’t have exact number but you should be able to get a few hours of internet use out of a charge.
* It is very light and portable, yet seems sturdy.
Cons
* These small laptops are called Netbooks for a reason. If you intend to use it for internet surfing, email, etc… it does fine. This is not the computer you want if you plan to run software that requires computing power and memory. Needless to say… this is probably not what you want to run Photoshop.
* There is no built in CD or DVD drive.
You can read the Amazon description to see all of the specs and features, but it does come fairly well equipped for the price. For the last 15 years, all of my past computers were Dells, and I still like Dell. However this Lenovo model seemed to offer the most for the money.

Lenovo Lenovo S10-2 10.1-Inch White Netbook – Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review
With the S10-2 Lenovo played a game of give and take.
On the outside, the netbook looks and feels cheap. Everything is plastic — even the metal looking bits. This makes for a very light netbook, and one that can survive a drop without much damage [speaking from experience]. Even the decorative colors look like a half-hearted attempt at dressing this device up. Finally, the battery has a hump in it that allows device to sit at an angle. This is a great feature because it allows the netbook too cool efficiently, but at the same time makes S10-2 a bit thick. If aesthetics are important to your computing devices this might not be the netbook for you.
The inside bits show where Lenovo paid attention. The keyboard, although not full size, is large enough type comfortably on, and the keys have excellent tactile feedback. The screen is glossy (but not overwhelmingly), responsive, and bright. My eyes say image quality on the screen isn’t as good as my Macbook Pro or Macbook, but on par with my Dell E6500. The camera is a 1.2 megapixel device with great image quality. The Intel GMA950 Graphics is plenty of GPU to do what this netbook is designed to do; surf the web, read e-mail, and video conferencing. Netbooks and laptops often exhibit signal interference from their own componentry when you listen to audio with good quality headphones/earbuds — not so with Lenovo S10-2. The audio components are excellent, even the tiny speakers perform well; in fact I would say the audio is better quality than all three of my afore mentioned laptops. Wired and wireless networking is just as fast and stable as all my other mobile networking devices. Finally, the N270 processor can perform all these tasks without the netbook feeling sluggish (if you use the correct OS), thanks to it’s dual core nature.
However, where the S10-2 falls flat is the choice in Operating Systems. I am a fan of Windows 7; it’s a solid operating system, and I enjoy using it on my Dell. However the “Starter” edition of Windows 7 is simply something Microsoft created to so you would pay for upgrade. It is too limited (unless your an advanced user, you won’t even be able to change your desktop background) it wants far more processor, more GPU, and more memory than this netbook can provide. A memory upgrade to 2GB will keep you from wanting to pull your hair out, but the real solution here is to change your OS to something designed to run small devices [not a task for non-technical users].
