5.0 out of 5 stars Video Review of Lenovo S10-3t, November 1, 2010

This review is from: Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t 0651-85U 10.1-Inch Netbook Tablet (Black) (Personal Computers)

Length:: 6:35 Mins

This is a video review of the Lenovo S10-3t with Windows 7 Premium and 2 GB of memory.

My overall impression is quite positive given the flexibility of using my existing PC applications and using it as a tablet for reading e-books, surfing the internet, and watching videos. One pleasant surprise is that the wide screen display gives me a much better internet browsing experience than my other existing netbooks. In my opinion, it does a lot more than an iPad with a similar price as its low-end model.

The multi-touch experience is not the best but it works quite well after some training.

Hope you enjoy this video

Cheers

4.0 out of 5 stars Lenovo listened to complaints, July 26, 2010

This review is from: Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t 0651-85U 10.1-Inch Netbook Tablet (Black) (Personal Computers)

Two things: this model (-85U) comes with Windows 7 Home Premium and with a 4-cell battery. Home Premium, unlike Starter, has a ton of built-in touchscreen features that all work well with this machine. If you read the reviews of the -37U version of the S10-3T, you'll see that many people complained about the size and weight of the 8-cell battery.

About speed -- I uninstalled most of the Lenovo "extras" and swapped the RAM for a 2 GB module (I used the Crucial only because it was Prime-eligible). The printed manual has clear instructions for replacing the RAM. At this point, the machine is quite snappy except when it isn't. That is, when Windows decides to do an upgrade or when some process runs amok, the machine becomes nearly unusable. The rest of the time, it is fine.

I really wanted an Android tablet, but since no acceptable one yet exists, this was a good compromise solution. I like having Windows, with its unlimited supply of applications, but I don't like the larger size and weight nor the limited battery life (I think it may be less than 3 hours, but I haven't run it down yet). For the best info, search for Jesse B Anderson's stuff -- he'll help you decide.

This review is from: Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t 0651-85U 10.1-Inch Netbook Tablet (Black) (Personal Computers)

...for what I was looking for.

I read a lot of digital comic books and had contemplated getting an iPad so that I could once again read my comic books anywhere, rather than sitting in the basement at the computer desk.

After learning how little space is on the iPad I started searching for iPad alternatives and the S10-3T came up.

I got it about a week and a half ago and it is perfect for my needs.

Not only can I read my comic books anywhere I want, I can do about 85% of the stuff I use my regular PC for. I find myself in the basement less and less. Still use the PC for photoshop work, development stuff, games, etc.

I too upgraded to 2 GB of RAM...you just have to...it'll make or break your perception of the netbook. I also use the SD card slot for ReadyBoost, saw def improvements with that as well. I removed a ton of the 'bloatware' (mainly lenovo pre-installed applications) that came with it. Also made some tweaks via [...]......great site for getting the most out of your S10-3T.

My 4 negatives (but by no means a deal breaker):
No bluetooth (i ordered a usb one)
No way (yet) to upgrade the CPU
Battery only lasts like 3 hours with WiFi on, though if i had the 8 cell, a negative might be the weight...right now i can hold it with one hand while reading
No SSD drive....from what I have read it really increases performance. Once they come down in price for larger ones (250GB+), i'll upgrade mine


Anyway...if you are not sure about the iPad, and don't want to wait for a legitimate Tablet PC, this will def be worth it.
