Lenovo’s next generation netbook is now slimmer and lighter — the IdeaPad S10-2. I got an engineering unit for a quick review so some aspects might differ from the ones sold commercially.
Lenovo did some major revamps in the design and style of the IdeaPad S10. While the earlier S9 and S10 models looked business-like, the S10-2 looked more stylish with some glossy, wallpaper-pattern finish on the lid.

The IdeaPad S10-2 also has a Quick Start menu powered by SplashTop, an Instant-On Linux platform that provides quick access to most common applications such as a browser, chat , etc.
Biggest upgrade from the previous model is the inclusion of a SIM card slot (found at the back of the battery compartment) for 3G connection.
It looks great. so far ive had it for 2 weeks and ive had no issues with it.. too early perhaps? maybe… but consider this, I originaly bought a neo b1230 but had to exchange it for the lenovo because the neo will not power on after owning it for (get this) ONE DAY!
That’s a quiet impressive netbook. Nice features and nice design. Will surely buy one.
@Jhay: Me too! I hate fanboys but becoming one for Lenovo is just perfectly sensible with me. =)
Shinrai of NetBooks Philippines also has posted YouTube videos with the S10-2 running Mac OSX.

hmmm… no fun, I’m still waiting for S12.
If ever I’m going to buy a netbook, it will be a Lenovo. :D
We are planning to acquire also the Ideapad but the G series only
Nice, when i borrowed my friend’s s10 i think its a bit heavy. Good thing it is now lighter and slimmer. I wish i could do some reviews like this too in my blog =P.
there os no 20 yr old laptop around.. =) (wink!)
sir yuga you know what is the price range of this?
Can’t trade in laptops like cars.
Think this :
20 years old car can do the same thing as the new one.
20 years old laptop??? Their place is in the trash bin
ugh, it looks so much cooler than my original s10! (bitter)
why can’t we trade in our old laptops for the new models like they do with cars, huh? *sniff*
looks a bit girly! hopefully they have a guy version! :P
