Lenovo IdeaPad S205 11,6" ultra-thin notebook with AMD E-350 hands-on

[BovineSoftware]

Who cares whether it's a netbook or a laptop or an ultra-portable, the distinction is woolly to say the least - it's a small(ish), light(ish), reasonably inexpensive laptop that you could argue fits the needs of those after either an ultra-portable or netbook

do you know if the Canadian version is multi-lingual keyboard by default? I hate that keyboard.

[scorpionboy3]

what about battery life? And why are so few 11.6 netbooks.

[mbplove]

@scorpionboy3 Its not a netbook..

[SynComa]

@mbplove Actually, you're wrong. It is a netbook...

@scorpionboy3 about 5 hrs or so for a 6 cell battery

@SynComa Its under 'Laptops' on the lenovo site dumbfuck.

[SynComa]

@mbplove I'm sorry but you must be stupid... just remember I didn't start the whiny bitch name calling but if you go to the site you dipshit it says netbook, I can give you a screenshot because I'm looking at it right now on the site, not to mention I personally own an s205 custom.

Oh yeah... btw, "Netbooks are a category of small, lightweight, legacy-free, and inexpensive laptop computers."

@BovineSoftware Actually, everyone should care what it is because netbooks unlike full size notebooks don't come with an optical drive. Lemme know if you still care or not when you buy one and you can't find the DVD slot and can't handle heavy tasking.

[mbplove]

@SynComa Thats under 'web model only'.

I found another S205 model with bluetooth. Are you sure this one has, based on the label at 0:47?

[gramprasa]

thanks for the good review. Is lenovo s205 good enough for video editing? thanks

[sergheiadrian]

@gramprasa IdeaPad S205 is a NETBOOK, so by definition is not powerful enough to do video editing. You need a more powerful machine, something with an Intrel Core I5 or similar CPU.

umm getting a new laptop, is it worth getting, how does it compare to a macbook pro not good at computers thanks

[dragonmustard2]

@OmgPurplePanda

This is an affordable computer with "better than netbook" components, whereas the Macbook Pro contains more powerful components. You could say this would be a portable budget computer, not a "full" notebook. You should compare this to a 11.6" Macbook Air, although the components in the MBA are stronger (CPU, GPU, SSD instead of HDD).

Woops, I misread, you said Macbook, oh well, the Macbooks are in need of an update, but are still better in terms of hardware, although outdated.
