I bought the Lenovo Ideapad because my son who has one is very happy with it so I bought it as a gift for another daughter in law. Simply put, she was ecstatic when she got it. All I got was ‘brownie points’ but I’m glad she likes it.
My 9 year old daughter loves this netbook. The size, look, and feel are great for her. There’s no office software included although a trial of MS office is pre-installed. Plan on buying the home and student version of office for kids’ schoolwork. The battery life seems very good, at least 5 hours or so. Speed is very good but boot up takes a little time (although better than windows vista). There are a lot of pre-installed offers for various services. I’d prefer that the didn’t put so much junk on the computer by default.
Typical IBM/Lenovo product. Reliable, compact , well designed and the installed face recognition software is a definite bonus which has saved you money straight away. head and shoulders above other netbooks that I have had.

This netbook blows my wife’s MSI Wind out of the water. It seems as if Lenovo got almost everything right. I use it daily for web surfing, email, Openoffice, Skype, etc.
I did have a problem with it staying in sleep mode when I first got it - that is the only reason that it is not getting a 5. I resolved my sleep problems by disabling hibernation (I am sure someone out there will be hunting for a fix - I am not the only one who has had this problem).
The IdeaPad S10-2 is Lenovo’s lightest and thinnest netbook, starting at just 2.65 lbs and 0.7-inch thin. New and improved features make this Lenovo’s easiest to use yet.
Whether you’re e-mailing family and friends, shopping online or listening to your digital music collection, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 29577VU Netbook offers a versatile, strong base for your home or on the go computing needs as well as easy-to-use multimedia features. With its Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory, 160GB hard drive and wireless 802.11b/g connectivity you can access your digital media and the internet wherever you go.

Review by Simply Me (USA) 2010-02-10 " This netbook I used a few times in recent weeks for the year. Runs quiet and fast for its size. I think it's perfect for reading news or entry tickets. It has enough power for video, play flash games and download all my photos on the web. The weight is designed to deliver excellent... " | |

Review by K. Chambers (NJ) 2010-04-07 " All I can say is that this was the best $ 300 I ever spent! I absolutely love this netbook. I can not rave about it enough. I was one of those who do not want a Blackberry, because the print is too small. I like to read the files and attachments rather than actual size on a portable device s... " | |
