Lenovo Ideapad s10 netbook

Although it isn’t a top-of-the-line laptop, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is a solid machine in its own right, given that it only sets you back about $449, making it quite comparable to the Asus Eee PC 1000H or the MSI Wind.

The hard drive in the IdeaPad S10 seems to be quite fast, performing better than most of the other netbooks in its class when subjected to HDD tests. The CyberLink OneKey recovery software shipped with each IdeaPad allows you to make a disk image of your computer so that you can easily backup all of your information, allowing you to restore everything in the case of a catastrophic failure.

The keyboard isn’t exactly comfortable to use, being a bit cramped compared to other netbooks with a similar 10-inch display. The 3-cell battery can provide you with a little over 2 hours and 20 minutes of battery life when in use, which is not too impressive when compared with the 6-cell Asus Eee PC 1000H, which can provide twice the battery life.
