The competitors like Asus Eee PC 1000H and Samsung NC10 are clearly better than the Ideapad S10e in important key aspects, display and battery life, but loose in expandability.

Based on our first-hand experience with this netbook, it’s hard to imagine it being a big seller as it’s a ‘déjà-vu' in many ways. With the uncomfortable keyboard and not-so-good battery, the Lenovo Ideapad S10e is not considered a winner to us as...

Although we didn't actually weigh the two devices, the S10e seemed a bit lighter. We tested a unit with a black molded plastic case that seemed durable enough but not the same as the rugged-feeling metal case of the HP 2133. Battery life was a little...

Includes ExpressCard/34 slot, good battery life, includes Splashtop interface

Smaller screen and resolution than the previous model, only two USB 2.0 ports

Despite some inexcusable shortcomings such as tortuous mouse buttons and a reflective screen, we couldn’t help admiring the Lenovo S10e for its overall build quality which inspires confidence as you handle it. It also has a curiously workable keyboard,...
