Bama, you should definitely read some of
this thread. It's unfortunate that the OP misspelled Lenovo and that S10 is too short for regular forum search. You can find it with Google site search, though, which says something about Google...
Anyway, I received mine a few weeks ago and I've been pretty happy with it. If fills a specific niche for me, though. I have a desktop at home and both a full-sized laptop and a desktop at work. I always travel for work with my regular laptop, but I specifically wanted a netbook for web browsing around the house and to take on casual/vacationy trips where I won't be spending a lot of time surfing the net.
The S10 fits the bill nicely.
My thoughts on netbooks:
1. For me, I definitely wanted an Intel Atom processor for the best handling of video that I can get. One day the chipset video will offload the cpu for video decoding, but not today. It also helps for light gaming.
2. It's essential to get keyboard size right. The S10 is right on the edge of "too small", but it's acceptable to me. I don't have big fat fingers, though. (but please don't call them dainty, please) I liked the feel of the Acer Aspire One keyboard and the MSI Wind keyboard better, though.
3. It's also important to check out the trackpad and buttons. The S10 has a smallish trackpad, but its buttons are in the right spot so it's comfortable for me to use. I am personally comfortable with the trackpoint nub thing so I do wish they would have put that in the S10. They didn't, though. The Aspire One has the buttons on the sides of the trackpad instead of at the bottom.
4. I think screen resolution is the same with most of the 10" and 8.9" netbooks at 1024x600. I did find some apps have giant nonresizable dialogs that forced me to move them until I could reach the "OK" button, but I don't blame Lenovo for that. They do allow you to modify the resolution 1024x768 and "pan" the screen if you need to deal with one of these dialogs, though.
5. I've been able to run most everything I want to run on it - even decoding viewing video up to 720P - though I suppose that technically it's decoding 720P and viewing 600P.
I was unable to watch an x264 encoded 1080P video.
6. It comes with one giant panel on the back, behind which are both the memory slot and the hard drive.
I got the model with 512MB of memory, an 80GB hard drive and Windows XP home basic. I think I saw a "deal" on techbargains.com where Circuit City was selling the 1GB/160GB version for $449. I think my version was $399. I got mine using some special coupons and rebates and such off of a deal I read about on Fatwallet back in August.
