IdeaPad S10
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
| "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."
|
| "Lenovo's Netbooks have come a long way. Their S10-2 is simply an awesome portable computer."
|
| "Lenovo's IdeaPad S10-2 ships with a six-cell battery, which is fairly standard for netbooks these days. What's unusual, however, is just how close the reported life and the actual life were in our testing. As we've discussed time and time again, most notebook makers suggest that their machines can last far longer on a single charge than they really can in real-world use. Thankfully, that's not the case on this machine. Lenovo asserts that users can get six hours out of a full battery, and we were able to squeeze out 5 hours and 31 minutes."
|
| "To call Lenovo's IdeaPad S10-2 a modest upgrade to its dazzling IdeaPad S10 would be an understatement."
|
| "If you're looking for a fashion friendly netbook that doesn't leave you stranded for some great function, I'd suggest looking at the S10."
|
| "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."
|
| "Lenovo's S10 is an excellent netbook... it's easy to recommend the S10."
|
| "These netbooks come in a variety of vibrant colors (I tested the pink one) and weigh just 2.43 pounds. PROS: Very lightweight and attractive."
|
| "The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 I tested has features that some other netbooks do not."
|
| "Keyboards have always been a very strong part of most Lenovo machines, and this one does not disappoint. The buttons are of course smaller than your home PC, but they are all very well positioned, and I rarely found myself reaching for the wrong button."
|
| "Every part of the machine has been extremely well designed, and it's quite simply great to look at. From the nice speaker grill on the front to the well positioned ports and buttons, it is obvious that Lenovo took their experience in making other notebooks, and put that into designing the S10."
|
| "So, why the Lenovo S10? Design may be a very personal thing, but I personally find it to be one of the best looking machines in the market."
|
| "The touchpad on the S10 is centered in the middle of the unit and is in the middle of the pack size-wise. The pad has just the right amount of sensitivity and even can be used to zoom web pages using the pinch / pull method. The mouse click buttons of the S10 are heavy-duty and separate from the touchpad and each other. This is the best mouse click button implementation of the netbook round-up."
|
| "Typing on the S10 is a real pleasure. Lenovo seems to living up to their own Thinkpad standards as the buttons feel very solid; even more so than your standard notebook keyboard."
|
| "Out of all the netbooks out there I really like the S10...I would definitely recommend the S10 to anyone looking to purchase a netbook. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Lenovo
IdeaPad S10 10.2-inch Laptop a 9 out of 10 score and our Recommended Award!"
|
| "The Lenovo S10 has a very sleek design, and incorporates the reliability Lenovo is known for. In my personal opinion, the S10 is also the best looking Netbook of the year."
|
| "Overall, I can highly recommend Lenovo's S-10 Ideapad as a great little laptop being sold at a reasonable price. It could give the Eee and Dell's new mini a run for the money. Apple, are you listening? Highly recommended."
|
| "There are a number of reasons why Lenovo's IdeaPad is one of the more exciting releases to date. First off, they are offering 10" diagonal screens on the IdeaPad S10... Secondly, Lenovo's build quality is generally perceived as one of the best in the notebook market, as their rugged ThinkPad series designs are likely to be seen in some form on the IdeaPad models. Thirdly, Lenovo is being aggressive with their pricing, offering the S10 out to market at $399 with an well-rounded feature set and a sleek, simply designed exterior."
|
| "We'll take two, thanks! ... Amazing combination of price and performance. Sophisticated, decidedly non-toy-like styling. Touch-typing is as easy as it gets in this category."

|
| "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."
|
| "There are several hot notebooks in this category, but I'm giving the nod to the Lenovo IdeaPad U110. The IdeaPad's design nearly moved reviewers to tears-CNET.com called it the most beautiful laptop they've seen in years and Laptop Magazine said it belongs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art."
|
| "Lenovo seems to have come into its own with the IdeaPad series. The $1,249 U330 is polished both inside and out: Not just a solid performer and lightweight travel companion, it offers switchable graphics, facial-recognition software, and stylish design .All in all, the Lenovo IdeaPad U330 is one impressive notebook."
|
| "A slick design, smooth performance, and switchable graphics makes the IdeaPad U330 one of the better-value lightweight notebooks."
|
| "The new Lenovo IdeaPad U110 shines. That's due in part to its glossy finish, but the specs are what really make this ultraportable laptop a star. Smaller even than its competitor, the MacBook Air, the U110 is a little titan.."
|
| "Charming good looks will attract the Lenovo Faithful who are sick of looking funerary. Excellent business performance will shut up office critics of your "red PC (Harumph!)" Delightfully light and slim."
|
| "I'll be honest though and admit that the Lenovo is grabbed far more often than the HP. You would too in my position, after all why not ride the thoroughbred instead of the pony if you have both."
|
| "The IdeaPad U110's $1,899 price tag may seem expensive to some PC users, but once you get your hands on one of these things its crystal clear that you're getting a truly luxurious notebook that includes lots of options and extras that other manufacturers charge extra for."
|
| "The whole system is very glossy. It is a stellar, luxurious PC."
|
| "It's a slim and sexy ultraportable notebook that is a full-fledged system...The U110 is a high-end consumer notebook built to the specifications of an ultraportable business machine."
|
| "...it's one of the nicest and most stlylish PCs I have ever used."
|
| "The IdeaPad U110 is particularly appealing as 11.1" sub-notebook; the main striking thing about the design of IdeaPad U110 is probably the lid, its sizzling red-hot and has sort of florid pattern to it – not anything like we've seen in a notebook before."
|
| "Here's the 11-inch. I want one soooooo bad now that I've seen it in person. ... 17-inch. Awesome"
|
| "We caught some time with Lenovo's new Ideapads and they're pretty hot..."
|
"The Lenovo IdeaPad U110 while not a UMPC or a Tablet PC is certainly an intriguing little small device. It is tiny and shiny and with that red cover will certainly stand out in a crowd. And guess what, for security how would you like to try Facial Recognition on for size? Well, that's what you will be able to do if you get your hands on this small device."

Gottabemobile.com, January 2008 |
|
| "With a focus on the consumer market, Lenovo has announced their new IdeaPad line of notebooks, featuring touch sensitive controls, Dolby Home Theatre Systems, frameless screens, VeriFace for facial recognition, and unique paint textures."
|
| "Other interesting design notes include a backlit logo on the notebook's cover, a 6-in-1 card reader, and a unique drop-style hinge. Perhaps the coolest feature though is the facial recognition system that will allow Windows users to login to their notebook simply by sitting in front of the computer."
