When the Asus EeePC netbook came into the market about 2 years ago, it captured the hearts of many buyers who were attracted to its combination of low price, light weight, Linux OS and a solid-state drive. The Asus EeePC’s very strong sales performance drove the competitors to come up with their own versions of budget-priced netbooks. All of a sudden, the market was flooded with netbooks – small, light and inexpensive — with the ability to do general computing, web surfing and running rich Internet applications.
The IdeaPad S10 is Lenovo’s unabashed attempt to cash in on the netbook boom. A quick look at the S10’s features and you would immediately conclude that it used EeePC as its benchmark. A YouTube review of the S10 even called it an “EeePC killer.” The IdeaPad S10 comes in a range of hues – black, red, blue, white and pink and features a 10.2-inch display. Processing power is supplied by Intel Atom 1.6GHz and RAM capacity is between 512MB up to 1GB DDR2. This netbook comes with two USB ports and ExpressCard expansion slot and VGA output. A multi-card media reader (4-in-1) is also thrown in as an added feature. OS is Windows XP Home Edition.
