As both a netbook and a tablet the S10-3t leaves a bit more to be desired. Sure, we're disappointed that the N470 processor doesn't provide improved performance, but what's even more aggravating is that $649 buys you a tiny trackpad, sluggish touchscreen software and terrible viewing angles.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t convertible Netbook tablet is priced to compete with the iPad, but underwhelming battery life and unpredictable touch response mar an otherwise sharp-looking portable.

If you can past the single-piece touchpad and lackluster speeds, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t is one of the few netbooks that have a rotating touch display.

Lenovo's tablet netbook offers a pretty good touch experience and comfortable keyboard, but we wish it had more speed.

It’s unfortunate, but the fact that the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t promises so much – multitouch, usability both while desk-bound and while mobile – makes it all the more disappointing when it falls short.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T includes some unusual features, including the swivelling touchscreen, but it sadly won't suit all tastes. It's too heavy to wield one-handed for long in tablet mode, while in netbook mode it doesn't quite match the usability of others.

We like the concept here, and we love the design. We're also keen on how portable the machine is, and the LCD swivel was top-notch. Unfortunately, everything else was average or sub-par.

If you love touchscreens and need a very portable laptop for around $600 you'll probably forgive the IdeaPad S10-3t's shortcomings and enjoy it greatly.
