    The Lenovo S10e is a great netbook. The Quick Start feature is lacking and the battery life could be better. At £249, it's competitively priced and worthy of consideration. If you need extra battery life, consider the similarly specced Samsung NC10, with double the battery life, for only £50 more. ® Read more

    The Lenovo IdeaPad S10e is a good netbook, but not a great one. The screen is much better than average, but there are few other stand-out features. We were impressed by the quality of the chassis, but the keyboard didn’t live up to our expectations. Overall, it’s difficult to ignore the fact the keyboard isn’t up to the same standard as Lenovo’s other laptops, and the S10e feels like a missed opportunity. Read more

    The Lenovo Ideapad S10E netbook is a compact behemoth… if you can have such a thing. That oxymoron aside, this is one of the finest mini-netbooks that (not very much) money can buy. Want to now why? Of course you do. Read on… Read more

    The positive first impression , which the very chic look gave us, could  unfortunately only partly be confirmed at a closer look. Actually designed for mobile use, the restraints you have to accept are, depending on your individual preferences, more or less important. The main point of critique is the glossy display in reduced 16:9 aspect ratio, which comes up with an average brightness and good illumination. However contrast and colour representation are less vivid.... Read more

  1. right shift key makes this almost unusable

    Not too shabby for a net surfer but if you want to type ANYTHING find something else. If they decide to switch the up arrow with the right shift key this could be a winner, until then typing on this thing will move your cursor up a line or more and drive you NUTS. I don't think this is something you can get use to because the placement of the shift key just is not right or natural. It also runs a little hot so the fan kicks on frequently. It seems a little heavy for it's... Read more
