Multitouch Netbook Lenovo S10-3t 0651-37U 10.1-Inch


The problem with tablets, though they’re certainly popular these days, may be the lack of any serious input device.

Tablets are naturally very good for consuming information and media, however , not so good for entering it. Just as netbooks are certainly portable and gives enough of the convenience of the mini laptop to obtain some more productive work done. But netbooks aren’t exactly the easiest devices to relax with.

The Lenovo S10-3t 0651-37U 10.1-Inch Multitouch Netbook solves this challenge nicely by being both, having a swivelling touchscreen technology that converts it between tablet and netbook modes.

It’s very simple to get up and running and may be on and operational in under ten minutes from the moment of getting your hands on it. Thereafter it features snappy enough bootup times as well as Quick Start 2.0 instant on.

At startup a range of things will ask to be configured but after that there’s little else to do except uninstall the anti-virus software that comes with it to put in something a little lighter.

The touchscreen display is obviously the biggest draw of this device and while it’s clear it’s no iPad killer, it’s still a very capable display and responsive enough. It does take a little practice, but after that things are great.

The windows XP verson of the netbook is bundled with Lenovo’s custom software called Lenovo Natural Touch that provides the iPhone like experience to go along with the touch screen.

The software installed has been designed to let you have your iPhone like touchscreen fun, with pinch, zoom, swiping and so forth letting you manipulate things on the screen. A windows 7 version is also available, and that has even better support for touch screens.

The 10.1 inch display has an LED backlight and works in 16:9 widescreen. It features the typical 1024×600 netbook resolution that we all know and love. Nor is it much off the iPad’s 1024×768.

It’s certainly easy on the eyes and can be flipped around to provide viewing in horizontal or portrait. Portrait is great for ebook viewing while horizontal is better for surfing.

The rest of the specs are again very normal fare for netbooks. 1.66GHz processor means that it’s not going to be the fastest device in the world.

The true test came when trying to play videos on YouTube, which safe to say it passed with flying colours and no stuttering.

The 8 cell battery offers 10 hours of life, perfect for the working day. 1GB of memory is all good and well, but it would be great to see manufacturer’s try to up the specs of netbooks a little. The device has an ample 250GB of disk space.

There is an SD card slot so pictures can be easily transferred from camera. This netbook would be a great choice for taking on holiday and using as a reservoir for all the holiday snaps.

The touchscreen facilitates make browsing through photos great fun in a very natural way. As with most netbooks don’t expect too much from the speakers. Taking a set of USB powered laptop speakers may be advisable if it’s to be used to watch movies, or play older games. Headphones are ideal if it’s being used as a personal movie player.

For an ebook reader there are a few choices. The most popular would be Amazon Kindle, or Mobipocket (that is also owned by Amazon), Microsoft Reader, or Adobe’s Reader. At 5.7 pounds it’s fairly light and as easy to hold as most books. For reading it may not rival an actual Kindle, but it goes up against an iPad very well.

The keyboard on netbooks are a bit of a touchy subject, as people tend to have very personal feelings about whether the smaller keys are practical enough to facilitate a lot of typing.

The Lenovo has a decent keyboard that may seem rather small to those who aren’t used to the form factor of netbooks, but it’s useable. Perhaps not the kind of thing that a writer would want to write novels on, but more than adequate enough for most people’s uses. Certainly it exceeds those of tablet devices.

Overall the Lenovo Multitouch Netbook solves many of the problems inherent with tablet devices and does so without making any drastic compromises. It’s easy to see this as a very strong contender.

Lenovo IdeaPad S10e


Lenovo IdeaPad S10e is a netbook basically consist of all the essential components of a netbook.

Powered with an Intel Atom processor, built with a 10.1 inches screen, 160GB hard disk space, basic connecting devices like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Lenovo’s IdeaPad has yet another unique feature – an instant-on Linux OS.

It is called the Lenovo QuickStart because a small component was embedded into the BIOS making it boot faster – almost around 5 seconds.

The Linux OS offers a web browser, a photo gallery, instant messenger, Skype chat and a music player.

However, various reviews have noted that even thou the Lenovo QuickStart provides a very fast boot into the Linux OS, the time used to load the web browser takes almost 40 seconds.

This clearly defeats the purpose of creating a fast boot BIOS. The time spent on loading the Linux OS and a web browser almost equal the time spent to load Windows itself.

Besides this, other applications like the music player, photo viewer and instant messengers function well in term of speed.

Users had also complained about the level of sensitivity of the touchpad. The highly sensitive touchpad could not be adjusted and users can only try to get use to it.

The design of Lenovo IdeaPad S10e is pretty simple, and it comes in black, red and white versions. Users have given good comments about the keyboards and its good quality plastic used as the notebook’s corpus.

However, the not standardized design of how the keys are situated on the keyboard had annoyed most of the users, mainly due to the weird placing of the right shift key and the function key which is more lateral than the control key.

The battery life of this notebook is 2.5 hours. Because of this, the weight of the notebook could be maintain around the range of 1.14 kg.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds


Lenovo has not been a conventional and predictable company, has it? It has maintained a line of notebooks, that although are certified to be tough and hardy, lacked the aesthetic features chased and often improved on by the majority of laptop manufacturers.

Not only that, the unit will be supplied with powerful quad-core processor and graphics card to fully maximize the potential of the screens.

As surprising as those features may seem, the weight and size of the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds and its expected price are not exactly normal either. Read the rest of this entry →

Asus N10


The year 2008 has been an extremely successful one for Asus. Their mini notebooks were so popular, they were like the iPhone and PSP in their respective markets – the pioneer and the leader.

Come the last quarter of 2008, Asus releases yet another 10-inch mini notebook-styled machine. It has since been rated as one of the most exciting mobile computers for that netbook-defined year.

The reason why this unit is so highly rated is because it combines the best features of full laptops and mini notebooks, its price tag at about $600 is also reflective of the market segment it belongs to. It is essentially a cross between laptops and netbooks.

While mini notebooks were previously pretty hopeless for slightly more intensive computing and especially gaming, the Asus N10 boasts having a relatively powerful display card, allowing it to play 3D games and high-definition videos decently and smoothly. Read the rest of this entry →
