IdeaPad S Series — Your Gateway to the Web, Anytime, Anywhere.
If you're looking for a cutting-edge netbook that will keep you connected when you're on the go, the IdeaPad S Series is right for you.
Combining extreme portability with stylish design and powerful, reliable processors from AMD, IdeaPad S Series netbooks and mini-notebooks make perfect internet companions.
Up to Windows 7 Professional operating system.
Most S Series models boast fast AMD processors.
Extreme portability: Many S Series models weigh in at just over 2 pounds and are a mere 1 inch thin.
Lenovo Quick Start gets you from powered off to online in seconds, giving you a faster way to access the functions you really want to use.
While they're extremely portable, typing on S Series netbooks and notebooks is a breeze thanks to ergonomically designed keyboards.
Multiple color options and stylish patterns and textures mean S Series PCs do the job and make a statement.
Despite their small size and affordable price, IdeaPad S Series notebooks and netbooks offer a robust array of cutting-edge features. You'll find that computing is more productive — and more fun — if you choose a model with capabilities like:
Lenovo DirectShare. Lenovo's proprietary PC-PC synchronization application lets you easily identify and connect with other PCs without an internet connection. Then you're ready to sync files, photos, emails, and more with a single click.
Lenovo MapLife. Never get lost again, so long as you're packing your Lenovo S Series PC. MapLife and other location-based services let you track your location; find nearby restaurants, shopping, and other points of interest; and find the quickest route to wherever you want to go.
Lenovo ReadyComm. Lenovo's integrated communications management software provides a single interface to create, administer, and share internet connnections.
You can count on your IdeaPad S Series PC when you're away from a power source. Not only are S Series models engineered for long battery life, most models are equipped with Lenovo Energy Management, our advanced power and battery management software.
Lenovo Energy Management is easy to operate and customized for different needs. It offers five power schemes depending on your usage at any given time: power saver, balanced, high performance, super energy saver, and ENERGY STAR.
Go green.
And effective power management does more than keep you productive — it also helps the environment. IdeaPad S Series PCs are compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances) which requires the removal of six hazardous substances from electric and electronic equipment.
Select models are also ENERGY STAR-compliant and rated EPEAT Silver under the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool system.
The less time you spend worrying about and maintaining your PC, the more time you'll have to actually get things done.And IdeaPad S Series models are carefully engineered for reliability and ease of use over the long haul.

Switching between versions requires you to uninstall one version and install the other version.
Downgrade Facilitation: To enable downgrade to Windows 7 on this system, the BIOS settings were changed to boot into legacy BIOS mode. If the BIOS setting is not changed to native UEFI mode boot prior to installing, Windows 8 Pro will install; however, the following Windows 8 Pro functionalities will not work as they rely on a native UEFI mode boot:

- Seamless Boot experience
- Network unlock for Bitlocker for systems with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Please refer to the system packaging or the support website (www.lenovo.com/support) for instructions on how to switch the BIOS mode.
