[lolfucker113]

does this run cscz, minecraft and spotify???

[Pagweb]

I love video reviews like this. I always get free keys. =)

[guzguz21]

3 hour battery for a netbook not good.

[underthegodful]

@guzguz21 my acer netbook has 6 to 7 hours for battery

[guzguz21]

@underthegodful Yeah, newer models have a great battery life.

[DomJ2795]

i ave one f these :)

[xMandalorex]

so if i buy two sticks of 2GB each yes each stick is 2GB it will have 4GB?

he did say it has 2 slots? LOL

[GHxx1]

Noob, this one has the 945GSE chipset which onbly supports 2GB, so we really have to teach you everything???

[xMandalorex]

ever heard of a piss take ?

love the way you say n00b so old skool this coming from someone whos profile is dead?

[ericngohp]

i might

get that computer

[jamesrschultz]

It needs 2GB of RAM and a SSD 64GB. I love Lenovo, I'm using one right now, but I think this could be a little better.

[xMandalorex]

no mate

IT NEEDS

2GB of ram and a 9-cell battery with 250GB HDD

SSD is way over rated and expensive... lol but if ya have the cash go for it

oh and slap windows 7 ultimate on there lol

[elvenyola]

dude just shut up, if your just gunna talk crap about it dont comment

[brandonlacavera]

its am open forum let me guess ur gonna pony up the cash for this piece of shit maybe u should keep yer mouth shut

[LostTheGaaaaaaame]

you wont get another machine for the price of some ram and a harddrive.

[brandonlacavera]

but for the whole outlay of the comp and the hd refit etc u would find a way better deal

[isanidhya]

U can get the same machine with 11hrs of battery backup. Haven't you seen Samsung N-140. But still Lenovo rocks.

[GunnersOwnAll]

do you work for HP or Dell.. ?

damn you guys are sneaky

[seandar]

Is it just me or did he just pull the HDD without turning it off first?

[rmnastor]

it went to standby when he closed the lid

[Rmdsalles]

Yeah, I agree with you. The host should turn off the netbook and it takes the battery out.

[pcandcargeek28]

nice netbook, i like the black version, lenovo is a pretty good brand, there cheap and reliable

[puppyloverforever1]

i like small laptops but some times they dont have the cd thing

[Znupi18]

But I feel like home on Linux. Why do they enforce Windows on me? Communists.

[hamstergirl75]

i hav a netbook ita a different make though i love netbooks they're soo cute!

[NorfolkWestern34]

i hate how IBM takes all of the names of other laptops

[NitekMuscle]

What do you mean? IBM pretty much sold off its PC business to Lenovo a couple years back.

[ilovecloverfield98]

I think that the lenovo s10 is a great netbook

[atthelord]

is it a good thing to buy this now or is it worth waiting for the dual core atom and the nvidia ion platform?? and also does it come with an ssd??? optional or not... cheers and thanks

[atthelord]

thankyou and also will it help increase performance if i add the 2 gig of ram and an ocz solid core 60 gb ssd??

is this actually worth it or should i good to wait for the ion and dual core atom ....also is the white one a matte white finish or is it glossy as i am confused wheather to get the white or the black ..ill get the white if it does not get dirty very quickly and the black otherwise as all the rest look crappy and cheezily cheap.......help appreciated ....cheers

[TheBlitz1]

Most Netbooks can only use 2 or 2.5gb of ram maximum. Netbooks have 512mb of fixed speed ram built into the motherboard, and have a single SO-DIMM slot available for upgrade; purchasing a 2gb SO-DIMM will increase performance considerably, however the speed of the ram is equally important: This netbook and most others use DDR2 Memory modules with supported speeds of up to 800mhz, i suggest purchasing a single 2gb 800mhz SO-DIMM. Color question: normally black is favored (white turns to yellow!).

[TheBlitz1]

Also remember Windows XP home is a 32-bit operating system, and 32-bit OSes can only utilize 2.5gb of physical memory, no matter what platform or hardware specification. People often mediate this by increasing virtual memory paging files, which you can do by going to start -> control panel -> system -> advanced: then under performance: Settings, then advanced: then it will show your virtual memory paging file, increase this number to no higher than 4000mb, any higher degrades performance.

[rogerjoseph69]

Correction 32bit OS's can Address up to 4GB, FYI and maybe if the BIOS supports Address extension it can make the last bit of the 4GB usable.

[TheBlitz1]

32bit operating systems cant actively use more than 3gb of ram.

[BR177]

3.2 gb

[TheBlitz1]

yeah but even less is really actively used be cause of the paging system.

[atthelord]

which is the top of the line netbook? i want to atleast run a few dx10 games all at extremely low specs on any of these,,please help me...

[Lillonelygirl]

is this better than acer? i really like how its designed. is 2gb ram available now? bout how much it cost?

[TheBlitz1]

Yes the lenovo s10 is better than the acer aspire one: Because of the layout of the motherboard: the acer aspire one, has its ram SO-DIMM slot facing the keypad, so to add ram, you have to remove the back panel, the motherboard, and then the keypad, which makes it more susceptible to permanent malfunction. Other than this design flaw, all netbooks are generally the same and incompass consumer market standards (i.e. wifi card, bluetooth support, included software budles, memory card readers).

[foreseengust]

The palm rest has some give. The speakers are VERY weak & gets blocked easily. The keyboard right shift key position is bad but the buttons feel better than even my full sized laptop. The touchpad is AWSOME, I prefer it over even bigger ones because it doesn't stop at the edge, the cursor keeps moving & even scrolls when you're out of the screen, sort of like a scroll wheel. I'm glad I bought this after all the shopping around, I love it...but the vid still seems biased.

[Zayrack]

1:06

It comes with XP

[Moonface00z]

it sucks... hp mini 2140 is better.... or go for sony vaio for DDR3 ram

[bugati4]

im using one right now

[Lillonelygirl]

how you like it so far?

[mmov9559]

it looks like a piece of cardboard...

[VideoPlayMedia]

yea i just got it to 1 hr ago and i downloaded combat arms and im putin this comment on here with it right now lol

[PaladinCon]

I was looking to buy this, and I was wondering if the video card and GHz are good enough for some games. I don't want to do hardcore games at maximum settings, but would Counterstrike Source, Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 work on this? If I turned the settings all the way down?

[kudude12many]

I just got this maybe 30  minutes ago. It's a computer to me.

[smallbuttfirm]

Curious...Can it run Linux?

[segafan1111]

I think it come with linux!

[armmego]

comes with xp

[armmego]

yes but why linux ... mac os x runs nice on it

[MasterOfMudkips]

A] Linux is legally free

B] Linux is just as good or better for people who know how to use it.

C] I doubt OS X would work well with only 512MB of RAM, while Linux would do fine with it.

D] Most of the interesting things OS X is capable of wouldn't be great to use a netbook for.

[dirtbiker095]

would you be able to download aim on it?

[sixxxPsP]

i just got this lenovo last month with 2gb of ram 260gb hard drive and original win xp profesional.this netbook realy fast and great 10/10

[Associatedfan]

tigerdirectblog should put a disclamer on all theire "reviews": "this is a paid advertisement and not genuinly a review"

[fa6i3n]

He makes a lot of advertising for Lenovo ;)... But he bade a huge mistake... He took the HD out while it was "running" you could break it although it was in stand-by mode... anyway the 6 cell ist standard in europe although the 3-cell is a cheaper version but it seems hard to get...

And I agree with everyone: why the Heck don't they just put the 6 cell in and leave the 3 cell completely out of the way? and instead giving the option of a 9 cell maybe ;)

[xMatthewxOceanx]

You can buy a 6 cell on ebay. Gettin 4-6 hours insteax of 2-3.

[Zildjian285]

I really don't understand the point of netbooks with a 3 cell battery. They get 3 hours battery life if you're lucky and some get just 2 hours...

[TheAgent06]

ur right...u would think they would produce the 6 cell from the start since netbooks are meant for portability

[TheAgent06]

handsome laptop........where's the 6cell 6cell

6cell 6cell6cell 6cell6cell 6cell6cell 6cell6cell 6cell6cell 6cell6cell 6cell6cell 6cell6cell 6cell....damn it!!!

[hatsumomo360]

what a worthless video. this info is all under the ideapad description on lenovo's website. why didn't you show us what you can actually do with it? we don't need to see how the bottom panels open.

[4352297]

im torn with this,acer aspire one, hp mini, msi wind and asus eee pc 1000h.

somebody help me!

[manyama254]

i have acer aspire its great..but mine was firts edition and stand by really sucks.but i would say go for a new edition acer or get this lenovo :)

[technotechie]

Any word on whether or not we'll see a 6-cell version with 1Gb and 160Gb HDD?

[tigsdk]

I don't know where you are, but we get that in Europe.

[technotechie]

We've got the 160GB with 1GB at a brick-and-mortar store (Circuit City), but not with the 6-cell battery - do you guys have the 6-cell battery across the pond?

[tigsdk]

Yes, we'll get the 6-cell (it's been confirmed), but the release date keeps getting pushed back *bites nails*. I suppose we'll get the S10e, because there's a Linux and a Winxp version to pre-order. Actually, two Linux versions, one with SSD and one with regular HDD (the SSD version seems to be the only one without Bluetooth).

[ainselena101]

this is isn't good

if your looking for one totally go with

acer aspire one

they have a review

u can get a 160gb and 1 gb of ram for 430

[chrischoy9]

it's the size of Eee PC. not the size acer aspire

[4DUMBASSES]

can you run word processor?

[joerox1994]

no shit

[esykillll]

NO, THIS IS MADNESS

[chrischoy9]

Yes, more than what you can do with a Eee PC. It has a Atom processor

[durdypants]

The Eee has an Atom processor too...

In fact, ALL netbooks have an atom...except the  few that fun on VIA C7's.

[kilimats02]

7 hours with radio signal switched off, basically doing my study or typing in words. With wireless it drops 30 min. The screen brightness all affect a bit. But mostly, you need to enable the power saving option, that will lock the CPU speed lower. And using eeectl will allows you to force the speed to even lower. Doing all that gives me max 7h30, amazing for such a small device. so light too

[LenovoFightsPoverty]

Lenovo Rules

[silverstonewebcam]

i like netbooks now theyre awesome

[kilimats02]

just FYI: the Asus 1000h achieves 7 hours of baterry life with pretty much the same weight and size, price is also very close.

looks like 1000h comes winner here. quality is decent too

[trickoidas]

same weight and size ? lol 1000h sucks, it has nothing good, its size is bigger than lenovo it weights much more, sucky build quality. The only thing better its 6 cell battery wich stick out, maybe lenovo later will include 6cell batteries too

[crysis08032008]

hey guys it looks pretty darn good!

[Jonkki]

poor battery life

[JINpwnsYOU]

did he just take out the hdd when it's still running?

:o

[freeyayo50]

LOL. I was thinking the same thing.

I think he did! It must have gone into hibernation mode though. Did you see it turn back on when he opened the lid.

[boondocksaint909]

I don't understand why the lenovo think/idea pads are so expensive? they come with minimum specs and some are the same as normal toshiba laptops?

[bondi007]

Nice!!

[pcrulezfuckx360]

fail

[boondocksaint909]

[ghost117007]

[Aezok]

Awesome netbook, I wanna buy the black one when it comes out :D
