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.

The very first thing that would catch your attention when you are looking at Logitech G15 gaming keyboard is the big LCD display at the keyboard’s back.

There is a group of multimedia buttons just below the LCD to control your media player and sound volume. These are considered some of the standard selection of multimedia buttons.

The LCD itself displays info like calculator or as a thermometer. It will also turn itself into a LCD countdown timer like a stop watch or act as the display of an MP3 player.

The LCD POP3 shows the mailbox status, and the LCD Clocks shows clock, calendar or number of unread mails.

It can also be set to show CPU load and memory usage. Plugins can be installed to make the LCD function like a chat box.

If you don’t want to use the screen, you can just pull it down and it will fit into the keyboard nicely.

There is a button on the left that could disable the Windows-related buttons like the Windows buttons and the Context Menu button.

There are also 2 USB ports on the keyboard suitable for joysticks, mice, or a webcam.

There are 18 multimedia buttons on the left, numbered G1 to G18. The keys glow with a mild blue light once the keyboard is connected.

Most users think that the keyboard is nice to type with and only need minimal time to adjust to. The keyboard also processes correctly when you press several buttons at the same time.

The highlighting feature in the keyboard is a bit different compared to the others. Most of today’s highlighted keyboard uses see through material for their buttons.

But in Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard, the lights only highlight the alphabets on the keyboard. The symbols will be more visible in the dark.

The Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G Broadband Router makes setting up a home or office network much easier.

It comes together with the documents needed in order to install it well. However, some users complained that the web interface is difficult to navigate, instructions are hard to understand and the security setup should be explained better for novices.

Drop link has also been observed. Some offshore users also complained about the lack of offshore services.

The Fast Start guide will try its best to illustrate the setup process. Judging by the comments of several users, it is better to have basic networking knowledge in order to use this router.

The Linksys WRT54GS has a web-based configuration tool that gives you the access to other networking settings like the DHCP server and client settings. Read the rest of this entry →

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 →
