Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.

Ultimately, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is a great ultra-portable laptop priced below $500. However, if you're willing to put up with a bulkier notebook then it's still possible to find a computer with more features and performance for almost the same price on sale.

Overall, Lenovo’s IdeaPad S10 is one of the best netbooks we have seen hit the market so far. It is not a huge upgrade from the likes of the 1000H and the Wind, but you get a solid keyboard, light system, and nicer form-factor then you might expect.

First thing's first: when it comes to netbook shopping, you have a LOT of options. Asus, Acer, Lenovo, HP, MSI, Samsung -- to name a few -- have all thrown their hats into the game (seems Apple is the only holdout). So it can be a little bewildering to someone who's looking for a...

It's my first netbook, and i prefer the build / layout to a mate's eeePC. Whilst obviously built down to a price, I have no complaints regarding fit and finish, and have happily thrown it in a bag in a neoprene sleeve to no ill-affect. Performance is everything you'd expect from...
