Pros: Processor, Memory, Storage, Input/Output compatibility, Keyboard/peripherals, Wireless card, Display resolution, Screen size, Display performance, Video card, Bluetooth, Weight, Software compatibility, Durability<BR>Cons: Battery I looked at all of the new netbooks before buying this Lenovo Ideapad S10. It was the most solid and useful of them all. The only thing I would change is to have a larger battery--and maybe a touch-screen kit, but a 6-cell battery would definitely be what I want next."1 of 1 people found this review helpful.Share this Review:Review 6 for 42312BU Overall5out of 5Performance4out of 5Mobility5out of 5Design4out of 5Features4out of 5Value5out of 5Reliability5out of 5 UTstudent Location:Austin, TX Owned Product:1-6 months Operating System:Genuine Windows XP Home Memory:512KB Wonderful little machineDate: November 18, 2008Pros: Storage, Wireless card, Weight, Support, Build Quality<BR>Cons: Memory<BR><BR>"The only flaw in this product is the lack of internal bluetooth, which was negligible for me, as I have no need of it.

Battery life is ~3hrs with the included XP home and Ubuntu 8.10, which I am dual booting. The 80gb hard drive is great, much more space than the solid state drives in many netbooks, and very speedy. Once the technology develops and prices drop, replacing the 2.5" hd with an ssd will be simple. Overall, very satisfied.

Best of the new netbooks
