Lenovo Ideapad S10-3 0647-2BU 10.1-Inch Netbook (Black)
My first ever Lenovo. Really like the netbook. I already downloaded Win 7 Home Premium with no trouble, not enough features on Win Starter for me. This is well worth the money. I always try to buy mfg reburbished in order to save money. Haven't had any trouble so far.
What a great netbook .. we have 3 other Netbooks in the household ... a Toshiba NB 305 , Samsung 145 , and an Asus 1015 PEM .. all are really good products . What I can see right away is the refinement in the Lenovo... All are really similar in processing performance. At this point I would give the overall lead to the Asus ( Dual Core) ... but the difference is barely noticeable even when multi-tasking. The Toshiba and Samsung have Atom 450 , the Lenovo Atom 455.
A very compact and thin Netbook.. well balanced ... And that is important as It always seems like the Asus is "tipping over " when opened on your lap ( on lap desk ) due to their self acclaimed " clam shell " design. The Lenovo's keyboard is simply one of the best I have used ... large and well spaced contoured keys. the only place I can really knock this otherwise sweet little Netbook is the palm-rest and track pad area ... It is a little tight for my liking but that is the obvious sacrifice that had to be made to free up space for that great keyboard.
Everything was up and running quickly and this machine has little bloatware ( junk factory programs ). First thing I did was go into the programs through the control panel and uninstall that annoying " smile dock " program. but other than that not too much to get rid of.
I have had excellent luck with my Lenovo laptop and am hoping for a similar experience with this one.
