Lenovo S10-3t review
Lenovo S10-3t is the newest member of the IdeaPad S10-series. It is also the first S10 to use the Atom N450 pine trail processor that brings more power-frugal schemes to improve the overall battery life. Let’s take a quick look at its specs, shall we?
Intel Atom N450 (1.66GHz)
10.1-inch display @ 1024×600 resolution
2GB RAM DDR2
250GB HDD
Intel GMA3150
Windows 7 Home Basic 32-bit
One of the best features about the S10-3t is that the screen can be rotated both ways, that is, the hinge is bi-directional. The keyboard is same as seen in the Lenovo S10-2 and uses the similar "High-touch keyboard design". Sure, the keys are not the chiclet, but still very comfortable to type upon.
The touchpad is comfortable to use, but there are no touchpad buttons. After a period of time, you will surely be able to adapt yourself to its design.
Ports – There are 1 VGA port, 2 USB ports, all on the right side. LAN, along with headphone and microphone jacks reside on the left side of the netbook.
There are a slew of shortcut keys on the sides of display. The overall weight is just 1.3kg, including battery which indicates that it is still very comfortable to carry around and use as a tablet.
Performance – The Atom N450 works fine for all the day-to-day Internet activities such as web-browsing, IM, Skype etc. However, there is not much performance gap between the Atom N280 and Atom N450. That said, the performance is good enough to run Windows 7 almost flawlessly. [via tech.163] (Chinese)
Cons – This ‘thing’ gets pretty hot under high-load condition – ~67-86 degrees!
Battery life is under 4 hours in heavy load test. In normal use, expect around 4.5 hours of run time.
