Great little computer
By Quincy No 9
I purchased my Lenovo S10-2 in April '09. I've found it to be surprisingly useful. At home I use it extensively to surf the net and keep up on email. I no longer carry my larger laptop back and forth to work. I've loaded the little S10 with all of the same software as I use on my primary computer (MS Office Professional, Visio, Project, Adobe, etc.). It's only a little slow to load the applications and works great in a pinch. I'd make it my primary computer, but the screen is too small and scrolling back and forth all day can be tiring. Still, it's very handy for travel or when I don't want to carry my larger laptop. It fits easily in my carry on and add about the same weight as a book. Keep in mind you'll need also carry an external drive if you want to watch DVDs.

Excellent netbook computer!
By Lloyd C. Onyett
The Lenovo S10-2 netbook is an excellent netbook. In my job (I am a technology support specialist), I have purchased about 50 netbooks in the past year for employees. The Lenovo S10, S10-2, and S12 netbooks are all performing exceptionally well.

I have recently upgraded all of them to Windows7 Pro, and they work even better than they did with Windows XP.

The only recommendation I can make for better performance is to also upgrade them (as I would do with ANY netbook) to 2GB of RAM. It is a simple upgrade to replace the 1GB of RAM with 2GB...there is an access panel on the bottom of the netbook that is easily removed with a screwdriver, then the 1GB easily snaps out and a 2GB is easily snapped into place. Be sure to seat the new RAM firmly.

The netbooks can run nearly all software that I run on a regular sized laptop or on a desktop. My employees LOVE them! The netbooks are so light weight, and very portable because of their size, and yet pack a lot of power and performance.
