This model is not the first lenovo attempt to enter the market with a hybrid of a netbook and a tablet. The predecessor was mostly experimental (and therefore "raw") Lenovo IdeaPad U1.. He remembered not so much beautiful design (by a strange reason very similar to the big Apple iPhone.), how many low resistive 12-inch display parameters. The MultiTouch technology support screen has a low brightness and very bad viewing angles. How well the results of this "Feather sample" were learned and what made the manufacturer - will show a comprehensive inspection of the model Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T..

Review and Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T test. Exterior, Design
The design style of the black lacquered screen cover is called Rain Flower. Light graphic symbols really resemble flowers scattered in the glade.
As it often happens, the color scheme is contrasting - the keyboard substrate is made of milk-white plastic, matte and even slightly rough to the touch. The netbook will noticeably stretch into width, demonstrating the direction of the screen on multimedia tasks. Because of this, the designers had to break her head over the preservation of the normal keyboard area - as they came out of the position, you can see below in the relevant section of the review.
Varnish protects against the appearance of small scratches, although on the rotary screen, the risk of their appearance is especially great. Typical polishing problems are not at anywhere - dust and fingerprints remain noticeable enemies of brilliant coating.
The swivel screen assembly is mounted in the center of the top edge of the base, separating the battery compartment in half. Unlike similar models, such as ASUS T91MT, the screen can be deployed in both directions 180 degrees. That is, now there is no need to remember the right direction so that the lid is not to break the lid.
The bottom view of the bottom shows the common plate closing internal nodes, and a pair of battery latches - they are not located on one line (and this is also due to the presence of a rotary node). With ventilation and without that cold processor, there are no problems with the ventilation - curly grids are cut over the location of the " Hot "knots.
The battery is attached horizontally in the grooves with two latches.
On the front face of the left of the center there is a universal cartrider closed with an elastic lid. For her notching, the netbook case will have to tilt back - due to the bevel of the base inside.
There is nothing behind anything, except for the battery and polished metal hinge in the center of the case (swivel screen assembly).
On the left are:, input for power cable, LAN network connector (10/100), two linear audio outputs. This picture shows that to ensure the possibility of full turn, the screen cover in the width is shorter than the base for approximately the centimeter.
On the right edge - switch wi-Fi adapter (A / B / G / N), two uSB ports 2.0 and video output VGA (D-Sub). A problem location, as usual, is associated with USB - except that there are only two of them (even on netbooks are not rare three), but they are located very close.
In general, the housing leaves a pleasant impression - a small base weight only helps in working with a touch display when a netbook is held with one hand.
Review and Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T test. Screen, Camera and Sound
Mirror projection and capacitive touchscreen with lED backlight It has a working resolution of 1024x600 points. Unlike resistive screens, it is characterized by good brightness and contrast of the image, not bad viewing angles. The built-in accelerometer is turned off by default - the display orientation can be shifted manually with the button on the right edge. Despite the compact sizes of the body, honest 10 inches diagonally give this model a big advantage in watching movies or working with tables. No lubrication of fonts or loops of the dynamic image is observed, documentary response time is less than 4 ms (GTG).
The acoustic system is built on the Conexant CX20582 chip, small speakers are located under the display in the upper lid. The sound quality, of course, is not outstanding, but for a netbook is quite acceptable.
The camera is shifted to the right edge of the screen, the built-in microphones are separated along the edges. Among the standard software there was a place and the familiar utility Lenovo Veriface 3.6, which allows the user authorization by a picture of the face.
The fastening of the rotary node is very reliable and durable, despite the seemingly thin design. The screen is brought to the extreme position on their own, but does not have a latch, which would be fixed.
Review and Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T test. Input Devices
Information input devices, oddly enough, are limited only by the keyboard and touchpad. There is no logical stylus (you can use any other, there is a need for this accessory). Because of the previously mentioned design features (netbook stretched in length, and the top of the base occupies a swivel knot), the keyboard needed to be preserved in the usual size. For this I had to sacrifice the size function keys And touchpad (which is generally miniature here). Moreover, separate keys Touchpad is not at all - they are under the plate in the lower corners. It works this reasonable solution easily and clearly, despite the dimensions.
However, you need to honestly admit that few people will use a small touchpad, having a 10-inch available touch screen With Multitouch support.
The keyboard features are already traditional for Lenovo models: The FN key is located left Ctrl; PGUP and PGDN are grouped with cursor buttons; The gap is shortened.
The on-screen keyboard is a regular MS 7 application, the only way to enter text in the tablet mode. On the display frame of the computer and switch the image orientation button.

The results of a comparative analysis of the tests of the notebook under consideration and a similar model of another manufacturer ( ASUS Eee. PC T91MT) are reduced to the common table below.
The ATOM N450 processor (Pinetrail code name) has a range of operating frequencies from 1600 to 1830 MHz and is focused on using in ultra-compact devices due to low power consumption. Its small performance ensures the tasks of office work or surfing on the network fully. The competitive model from ASUS is equipped with the processor of the previous line - Atom N270, which objectively inferior to the hero of today's review.
The 160 GB hard disk (WDC WD1600BEVT-22ZCT0) has an 8B buffer, which is well affected by the access time to its working surface.
Maximum volume random access memory For the chipset of this model - 2 GB DDR2 in two slots. By default, one module is set to 1GB.
Systems based on ATOM processors almost never go beyond the scope of permissible in stress tests due to low basic heat generation.

I decided to change my memory myself, bought the same company as in a netbook 2 giga - did not go, it simply does not turn on. Changed to Kingston - the same. Have to contact the service. I put Runtu LXDE 10.04 - everything immediately flies. In Windows it is impossible to work - terribly slows down - the old laptop Acer 4220 with 1254 megami and Win 7 is not trimmed simply flying.

Bought for a semi-annual trip. The main criteria were the weight, battery life, built-in GSM, bluetooth. According to these parameters, the device fully corresponded to expectations. I just have the modification that with a large battery - until 8 hours I could not, but more seven hours on the Internet is for sure. In general, the device turned out to be ideal for a tough mobile operation. For the modem, a program from Dell Wireless Manager 5.2.1045 The sensitivity of the modem is generally not worse than a modern phone. Update two years later: the device is operated daily, one third of the batteries. On the this moment There are no strong battery degradation. 5 hours holds. There was a GPS. He found himself on the COM59. Catching normally, the SAS-Planet program identified it.

It is worth the Win7 Ultimate I had to update the BIOS to increase the RAM. From 1GB to 2GB Performance growth approximately 25% If you use Win7, then there is a ReadyBoost function (buy a SD card 10, 2-4 GB, stick to the slot, set up ReadyBoost to it, the productivity increase is 10-15%) change the topic on Simplified style, 2-3%. As a result, Windows works quite quickly.

I tried some options of Windows XP, I absolutely not advise. Yet the machine is optimized under the seven. It was under Wine 7 that the power consumption was significantly reduced. The main thing is to put the X86 version not higher than the home extended. 2 RAM is not necessarily, although it does not hurt. Ubuntu 12.04 works better than XP, therefore I do not recommend. In general, a wonderful machine, and for entertainment, take the tablet from Samsung or Epl

An excellent netbook, very neat, easy and convenient to use. It works calmly without recharging hours on 5. Wife from him in full delight, the old 15-inch laptop abandoned, and this adores, using under the office and toys. Minuses three. First, the laptop has a monstrously harvester mounting of the lid. In fact, the cover is kept on 4 tiny cogs screwed directly into the plastic of the display cover, which is no metal strengthened. Luggage loops are made of metal, and with the slightest drop in the laptop on the floor they are these coins of plastic, naturally, rut with the root. The laptop broke out for two years already 2 times, for the first time with me strana 4k for repairs, in the second - I will repair myself, expensive. Secondly, you are uncomfortable to watch movies - too quietly it turns out without headphones. Thirdly, it's still brake, of course. The thoughtfulness of this laptop, alas, is visible to the naked eye.

I bought as a typewriter for travels and train. The keyboard is almost full - no adaptation is required, as with most of the other 10 "netbooks. Very convenient built-in modem, especially if you have to get and remove the netbook several times a day in cramped conditions of public transport. The battery holds 5 hours not too intensive work. At this dignity The disadvantages characteristic of most netbooks begin and begin - a small glossy glanceing screen with meager viewing angles, low performance, very children's sizes of touchpad, hopping rumbers and plugs, large thickness - about 4 cm. All this, however, compensates for this price. A good choice if you need a compact machine "On slaughter" with a comfortable keyboard.
