Pros: Easy to replace the HD and install an additional 1 or 2GB of RAM. Vista HP loaded easily on the D partition, after installing mobile 945GME drivers, video memory went from 64MB to 256MB. 'Veriface' from Lenovo, face recognition log on, it's sweet
Cons: Bluetooth doesn't work on XP but does fine with Vista. If you dual boot and find problems with Synaptic errors on Vista, install the Synaptic drivers for the Y430. 4 way scroll function is stable again. 'Easy Capture' on Vista records great video
Summary: I almost couldn't wait for one of these toys and almost commited to an ASUS 1000 series - the wait was well worth it. My S10 fits in my leather folder, the slim external DVD writer from LG has Lightscribe, and is about the size of 3 CD jewel cases... the face log on is great, I just trained the internal mic for Vista's voice command program. ... a 6 cell battery is available from Lenovo online ... Office 2007, Photoshop CS2, Flash CS3 and FL Studio 8 all run without any problems or lags. I have to admit, there really isn't anything I can find to fault the S10 with - it's ultra portable and perfect for any student's desk, first time 'surf-n-email' users (your grandparents) and the very discriminating urban technocrat .... big thanks to ASUS for initiating the net-book wild fire - super thanks to Lenovo for keeping it so cool and tight - like Hancock said, Good job guys, Good-Job.
This little laptop is great for web browsing, email, most productivity software applications and attending college courses online. It can handle most less graphics demanding games. This should be suitable for more users."1 of 1 people found this review helpful.Share this Review:Review 3 for 42312BU Overall4out of 5Performance3out of 5Mobility5out of 5Design5out of 5Features4out of 5Value5out of 5Reliability5out of 5 valerio Location:LOS ANGELES Owned Product:Less than a month Operating System:Genuine Windows XP Professional Processor:Intel Core 2 Duo Memory:2 GB GREAT LAPTOPDate: November 20, 2008Pros: Wireless card, Display resolution, Screen size, Weight, Included software, Warranty, Support Cons: Memory, Battery
