For as long as I can remember I’ve used laptops for my primary day-to-day work and most of my after-hours browsing and general use. I recently replaced my 17″ Dell notebook with a smaller 15.4″ m1530 XPS (due to weight, and I no longer do any hardcore gaming on my laptop). I hadn’t given much thought about netbooks until we received a review sample of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10. I picked it up, and my first reaction was that it was tiny compared to my m1530, and very light (about 2.5 pounds). My second thought was am I really going to get much use out of something this size?
The review machine I received was equipped with an Atom N270 CPU (1.6GHz), 1GB DDR2, an 80gb 2.5″ Hitachi HDD, and a 10.2″ (1024×600) screen. It came installed with Windows XP Home, Norton Internet Security 2008 (which I replaced with NIS 2009), and CyberLink OneKey Recovery (pre-configured with a factory-default restore setting, in case you need to blow everything out). Also included was a new 6 cell extended runtime battery (which I used for testing), that provided about 4:30-5hrs of runtime during my tests.
