| "The IdeaPad has a sharp screen and very comfortable keyboard. Battery life is average for a netbook, even with a bigger-than-normal screen to power."
|
| "The all new Lenovo IdeaPad S12 has a nice and beautiful 12 inch screens and is one of the best and largest netbooks out in the market."
|
| "The design of the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 is very pleasing to say the least and it is one that is ideal for both business and home use if required. The build is extremely rugged and we couldn't find anything wrong with it. No creaks or any sounds out of the hinges and the build quality was so sturdy we felt we could even stand on it."
|
| "The keyboard of the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 is just excellent for a laptop this size and the full size keyboard leaves nothing to be desired."
|
| "The screen quality of the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 was also something to behold and we loved the depth of colours that this screen could produce in addition to the realism of the images."
|
| "The battery life of this beast [IdeaPad S12] is really good and when we tested it we found that it lasted just over five hours in our standard testing conditions."
|
| "The Lenovo IdeaPad S12 feels a bit more substantial than your average netbook."
|
| "The Lenovo Ideapad S12 ($500 direct) is arguably the best 12-inch netbook available, besting the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, Samsung NC20 (21GBK), and HP Pavilion dv2-1030us."
|
| "My first impressions are that the S12 strikes the perfect balance between affordability, mobility, and functionality."
|
| "What I really like about the S12 is the larger keyboard and higher resolution. There is nothing like typing on a full size keyboard on a light weight system. In addition, the power cord for the S12 is really long, which is a huge plus when trying to find that rare power outlet in a coffee shop or hotel room."

|
| "If you're searching for a great-looking thin-and-light laptop at a good price, the Lenovo IdeaPad U350 bridges the gap between personal and professional and is worth checking out."
|
| "Netbooks may be all the rage, but we think the ultrathin 13-inch notebooks are where it's at. What's not to love about a powerful, lightweight, cool-looking notebook? Lenovo offers up all of that in its 13.3-inch IdeaPad U350. Oh, and did we mention it was affordable?"
|
| "Given its $749 price, we generally like the design and features of the IdeaPad U350. It's lightweight and slim, and its black-and-silver look is attractive."
|
| "Like the idea of owning a laptop nearly as light as a netbook, but don't want to settle for a small screen and cramped keyboard? Then take a good look at the Lenovo IdeaPad U350."
|
| "The IdeaPad U350 is certainly one of the sleekest notebooks you'll find at this price. Weighing 3.6 pounds and measuring 0.7 to 1.0 inches thick, we had no problem slipping this system into a backpack; in fact, we could barely tell it was there."
|
| "The IdeaPad U350's keyboard is plenty large, and offered a comfortable typing experience."
|
| "The stereo speakers on the IdeaPad U350 are easily among the best we've heard on a notebook this size."
|
| "The bottom line: If you want an affordable, easy-to-carry laptop without the screen and keyboard trade-offs of a netbook—and can live with merely adequate performance—the U350 is worth a look."
