The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is a pink colored netbook which has no problem living up to its ultra portable reputation. We were lucky enough to actually review a rather maxed out version of this Lenovo colored laptop. By definition this is actually not so much of a laptop as it is a pink netbook. The netbooks are the ultra portable mini laptops which have become so popular in the market lately.

This Lenovo pink netbook weighs in at a mere 2.6 pounds and looks like it could fit in most small bags with no problem. The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is a 10.2 inch netbook which is powered by the ever popular Atom N270 processor. The Atom processors are designed by Intel to specifically fit nicely into the netbook computers and still offer exceptional performance while maximizing power conservation.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 we reviewed had 2 GB of DDR2-667 memory installed in it which is the maximum which this pink netbook will take. This amount of RAM was plenty and it became quite noticeable when running several applications at once during our performance benchmarking that while multi tasking the computer remained pleasantly responsive.

Installed on the nice sized 320 GB SATA hard drive is Microsoft Windows XP Home edition which happens to boot noticeably quicker than a lot of desktops out there. This model happens to use the Intel 945GSE chipset as well.


We have already noticed a trend beginning in that the netbooks available in the market are improving in their design and performance as the competition among manufacturers of ultra portables increases.

These little portable computers are definitely here to stay and more manufacturers are getting in on the action as consumer demand appears to be very strong from students to business professionals.

Popular features found on these classy pink netbooks include a 4-in-1 card reader, SD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MMC, 512KB L2 cache, a 10.2" WSVGA (1024x600) LCD display, and the Intel GMA950 graphics controller.

Along with the 802.11g/b Wireless LAN capabilities the various ports include a Fast Ethernet port, Mini Bluetooth, 2x USB 2.0 ports, integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam (with microphone), 1x ExpressCard, integrated microphone and stereo speakers.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 pink netbooks also come with many standard features you would find on most laptop computers such as an RJ45 Ethernet port for connecting to the LAN and or internet, a standard VGA port for connecting the netbook to an external monitor, a 40W AC power adapter, and a headphone jack.
