Laptop Logic has recently tested Lenovo’s IdeaPad S10 netbook and wrote for our website a guest post, summarizing the in-depth review.

“Lenovo’s new IdeaPad S10 netbook comes fitted with the same core components as most netbooks with slight variation: a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, and a 10.2” LED backlit screen are included in the base configuration, and that has to be considered somewhat mediocre compared to some of the competing models that come with twice the RAM and roomier hard drives. Another thing that separates the S10 from the competition, however, is a very attractive design – it’s slightly thinner than the popular MSI Wind and sports a “flowing” design with appealing chrome highlights.
