Lenovo S10-2 10.1-Inch Floral Sea Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)


I bought this netbook about a month ago. So far, I love it!

The battery life seems to be between 4 - 6 hours, depending on what you're doing. The keyboard is a little small, but since I'm female, that's not been a problem for me. The keys are always where I think they *ought* to be, so no complaints, there. The color is just gorgeous, and is more on the plum side, for those who find this important.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Windows 7 Starter, as I had read horror stories about the limitations it has. This hasn't been a problem for me, yet, and I really don't expect it to be. I mostly surf the web, get email, and watch streaming videos occasionally. I wasn't expecting it to actually HAVE Windows Media Player, since I knew it didn't have Media Center, but it DOES have the player, and it works just fine. As far as Windows 7 Starter, it seems fairly speedy, once I downloaded Spybot S & D, which is what I use to control startup programs. I run a fairly strict firewall, and some other anti-spy software, and this little machine has had NO trouble keeping up with what I want it to do.

The sound and picture are decent, it doesn't get overly warm on the bottom, which my other laptop does, and it has the coolest feature for logging on, which my son LOVES: facial recognition using the included web cam.

Overall, I would purchase again. Amazon's shipping was timely, I had it in about 3 business days, although I wish they would pack electronics as well as they do their books. It did have air pillows in the box, but they had worked their way onto one side, so the manufacturer's box was sliding back and forth inside the Amazon box.Get more detail about Lenovo S10-2 10.1-Inch Floral Sea Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter).
