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.

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.
