A good lightweight device, perfect for traveling abroad. Wi-Fi connects well. talking on Skype through the camera is normal, despite the 0.3 MP. a screw is more than enough for it. In the store, the sellers installed several additional free programs, for which I am grateful, I was in a hurry and did not have time to do the installation.

loaded with all sorts of unnecessary programs, I had to tinker and remove it. began to work more quickly.
Before New Year's Eve, I see the price has risen, although the dollar has fallen from the euro. I took it for 13,200 rubles.

2) Gloss everywhere
3) Not very convenient touchpad
4) There is no way to install a second gig of RAM

The memory and screw can only be changed by completely removing the back cover and one of the screws under the keyboard. 1 gig of brains is not enough for Win7!!! Take it with 2 gigs. I decided to change the memory myself, I bought it from the same company as in the netbook 2 gig - it didn’t work, it just won’t turn on. Changed it to Kingston - same thing. You'll have to contact service.
I installed Runtu lxde 10.04 - everything flies right away. It's impossible to work in Windows - it's terribly slow - the old Acer 4220 laptop with 1254 megapixels and Win 7, not cut down, just flies.

1. for some reason everywhere in the description it’s 250 GB, I have 160... it’s a shame
2. there was a lot of pre-installed garbage, I had to dump it, but it (the garbage) clings to life.... there were a couple of tensions
Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 appeared on the market a little later than other Pine Trail netbooks, and at the same time its price at the time of the announcement was above the average for devices of this class. How did Lenovo decide to win over users? Apparently, the developers of the IdeaPad S10-3 decided to “beat” their competitors with an original design solution, which potential users of this netbook should value at a higher price than ordinary offerings from this segment. We will tell you further about what else is remarkable about the device.
Appearance and design features
The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 has already gone through three “revisions,” and compared to the original version, it is the latest modification that can be called the most innovative. And not only because the S10-3, unlike the first and second reincarnations, is made on the Pine Trail platform. This device is strikingly different from its predecessors with a new elegant design. It is felt that when creating this netbook, the developers sought to make it the most noticeable among the homogeneous mass of other Atom devices.
For the IdeaPad S10-3, Lenovo designers have developed a thin and fairly light case. When closed, the thickness of the netbook, taking into account the height of the legs, is 27.8 mm, and if we take only the thickness of the case into account, then even less - 25.4 mm. In addition to the small thickness, fans of netbooks will clearly be pleased with the modest weight of the model, which without battery is 1185 g.
To get away from the “pop” fashion for gloss, the designers carved the glossy outer part of the lid with a textured pattern reminiscent of the surface of a chessboard with small cells. Compared to regular gloss, this solution looks much more interesting. In addition, it is more practical as it does not show fingerprints.
The only purely glossy surface on the S10-3 is the frame around the display, the material of which was probably chosen to match the coating of the screen itself. The working surface under the keyboard is made of matte plastic, painted to resemble roughly processed metal. Individual elements that make a decorative contribution to the exterior of the netbook are the touch panel and keyboard, but we’ll talk about them a little later.
The appearance of the netbook is somewhat diversified by additional buttons located on the display frame. Traditionally, the laptop on/off button is usually placed on the work panel above the keyboard. But Lenovo decided to break away from tradition and placed it on the left margin of the frame. Above this button there is a lone indicator informing the user that CapsLock mode is enabled.
To the right of the display on the frame there are two more hard keys: QS and Recovery Key. Using the first, when the netbook is turned off, you can launch a lightweight OS that will allow you to use the browser and some applications for Internet communication without loading the main operating system. If the netbook is turned on, then by pressing the QS button you can launch any application assigned to it. The Recovery Key button, as its name implies, calls up the system recovery utility.
Built-in stereo speakers (1.5 W each) are located on the front end of the case. Like the speakers in most netbooks, the S10's built-in stereo system isn't much use. Its volume is quite high, but it only works with high frequencies.
Input Devices
The keyboard in the S10-3 is simply magnificent, there's no other way to put it. The island-type keys, separated from each other by a short distance, have small depressions in the center for the fingertips. The keys are pressed very softly, but despite this, the moment of operation is felt very well. The substrate is rigid around the perimeter and bends slightly in the center.
The keyboard is well suited for long-term typing: your hands don’t get tired and your fingers don’t get tangled in the keys. The large distance between the centers of the keys allows even a person with large hands to work comfortably with the keyboard. There are no complaints about the layout: everything is within traditional limits. The only remark could be attributed to the design of the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets: many would obviously be more comfortable if they were printed in different colors, and not just different fonts.
The touchpad in the IdeaPad S10-3 is very similar to the Apple MacBook touchpad, which does not have additional buttons at the bottom, but is itself one large button. In a netbook, the touchpad is also veiled under one large button, but it is not pressed at any point. To roughly break it down, pressing the left half is the same as triggering the left mouse button, and the right half is the same as triggering the right mouse button. Only in the center and at the top the touchpad cannot be pressed.
Along the right side of the touchpad is an unlabeled vertical scrolling area. The IdeaPad S10-3's touchpad also supports multi-touch, but the feature is disabled by default. Working with the touchpad is quite convenient - no less convenient than using a traditional touchpad. Although, of course, Lenovo is still very far from Apple technologies.
Display
The S10-3 we tested has a 10.1-inch matrix manufactured by Chunghwa Picture Tubes. Its resolution is standard for netbooks and is 1024x600 pixels. When you turn on the device for the first time, you immediately feel that the backlight brightness is very high and leads to burnout of the colors on the screen, which is why they are perceived as pale and dull. The highest brightness is achieved in the center of the display: at this point it is 239 cd/m2. This value is quite enough to freely work with a netbook on the street. However, in direct sunlight, even this brightness is not enough to avoid glare on the glossy coating of the matrix.
The backlight uniformity is quite high and for this matrix it is 87%. But the contrast ratio is quite small, only 176:1. Such a low contrast is due to the fact that due to the too powerful backlight, the brightness of the black glow is very high.
The viewing angles are traditional for devices of this class: a narrow vertical angle (information on the screen remains readable without distortion within 20 degrees from the normal to the screen plane) and a wider horizontal angle (within 40 degrees from the normal).
Interfaces and expansion ports
Lenovo developers scattered the ports in the S10-3 along the right and left ends of the case, leaving the other sides out of work for certain reasons (the entire rear end is given over to the battery, and the front is too flattened towards the bottom).
On the left side there is a USB port, an analog D-Sub video output, a card reader that supports SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD formats, and a connector for connecting a power supply. It is very correct that the manufacturer decided to place the video output closer to the back of the case, where the cable coming from it will not interfere with other connected devices. The card reader, on the contrary, is located closer to the front end so that when working with memory cards you don’t have to reach far.
On the right side there is an RJ-45 network connector, two more USB 2.0 ports and a pair of 3.5 mm audio jacks. And in this part, there is a sense of rationality in the arrangement of interfaces: the connector to which the cable is connected for a long time (RJ-45) is located closer to the rear end, and those that are used frequently are moved closer to the front.
The S10-3 we tested had an Ericsson F3607gw HSPA module installed. This broadband access module for HSPA/GPRS/EDGE networks allows you to remotely control your computer. Even when the netbook itself is turned off, the module will maintain a connection to the Internet and, if necessary, can switch the computer to any state. For example, if the device is stolen or lost, the user can block access to it and the data on the hard drive. This remote control feature must be supported by your broadband internet service provider.
Battery life
Lenovo positions its IdeaPad S10-3 as a netbook with a fairly long battery life, especially for the battery installed in it - 7 hours. The battery capacity this device comes with is 48 Wh. So if the model can really work for 7 hours, it will be very good.
Let's start with the record-breaking battery life test results. In the Battery Eater reader test, with wireless communications turned off and backlight brightness at minimum, the battery life was 9 hours 3 minutes. It is worth noting that with the minimum brightness that the adjustment allows you to set, you can work quite comfortably indoors.
However, reading mode is practically unattainable in everyday life, so let's move on to more realistic simulations. In classic mode, at maximum brightness and with wireless connections turned on, the S10-3 was able to last 4 hours 47 minutes. As for real operating conditions, it is precisely in these conditions that the netbook “extends” its legitimate 7 hours of operation without a fixed network. One charge of the standard battery is enough for 7 hours and 17 minutes to surf the network via Wi-Fi at 50% screen brightness (you don’t need more in indoor conditions) and at the same time listen to music through the built-in speakers.
In general, these autonomy indicators can be called very good. Of course, it was possible to install a more capacious battery in the S10-3, but in this case the weight of the device would have noticeably increased and the dimensions would have changed somewhat. So a standard 48 Wh battery is the best solution in this case.
To optimize energy consumption, the S10-3 includes the Lenovo Energy Management utility. The essence of its work is no different from proprietary utilities of other laptop manufacturers: there are five power profiles that allow you to optimize energy consumption for specific operating conditions.
The power supply that comes with the device is very small and almost weightless (about 150 g). The cable that goes from the network to the power supply will weigh more. So carrying this tiny unit with you will not be difficult. It's nice that manufacturers began to pay attention to such a small thing as the power supply. About a year and a half ago, you could find a netbook with a power supply that was comparable in weight to the computer itself.
Heat and noise
The IdeaPad S10-3 is one of the quietest netbooks. In idle mode the cooler is absolutely silent. If it were not for the light breeze from the ventilation window, it would be impossible to guess that the fan was working at all.
The noise from the cooler becomes audible only under sudden, heavy or prolonged load on the system. In the first case, the fan speed increases sharply, but then, after a few seconds, decreases to a level where the cooler becomes barely audible. Under prolonged load, a faint hum from the “propeller” cooling the system is constantly heard, but in an office environment it is unlikely to be noticeable.
In terms of thermal emission, the laptop also looks very decent. Unfortunately, it cannot be said that the S10-3 is an absolutely cold device, but nevertheless it does not heat up as much as some of its brothers. At idle, the only warm area on the work surface is under the left wrist. Here the temperature reaches 30-32 degrees Celsius.
At the same time, the lower part of the body heats up more noticeably: in its center the temperature reaches 36-38 degrees, and near the blower exit - 35 degrees Celsius. When the system is loaded, the case temperature rises, but not too significantly, by about 2-4 degrees.
Lenovo has managed to create an excellent subnotebook capable of solving everyday tasks. We are talking about IdeaPad S10-3S. Everything in this model is thought out to the smallest detail: design, ergonomics, and functional preparation. In addition, several color and texture designs are available to users: black, white and “spring flowers”. Also, the subnotebook (depending on the configuration) can be equipped with a fourth-generation network module. All this speaks in favor of the ten-inch Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3S.
If you're used to working on the road, the IdeaPad S10-3S is perfect for everyday office tasks. Of course, we are not talking about amazing performance, but work issues will be resolved easily. In addition, there is Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, and LAN.
Design
It is interesting that the netbook, in general, is not positioned as a model with a creative appearance, but this did not prevent the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3S from becoming a truly stylish portable toy. So, a laptop can be white, black, or colorful. Thus, black attracts with its stylish restraint, white shines with crystal purity, and multi-colored ones have a print with colorful flowers. The latter stands out from the rest, but with such a design it will appeal more to the female half of society.The most popular is still the black IdeaPad S10-3S. The device looks discreet and conservative. However, there is still something in it. Thanks to the specific coating, fingerprints and scratches on the case will not be visible.
The thickness of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3S case is 16-28.5 mm, weight - only 1.1 kg. This device can even fit into a small bag. It is worth noting that the only glossy designers made the display frame. So she will start pawing regularly.
Display
The mini-laptop is equipped with a glossy matrix with a diagonal of 10.1 inches. The screen has LED backlighting and a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. The cinematic aspect ratio of 16:9 allows you to view HD content without black bars. The display is framed with a glossy surface. There are buttons on the left and right edges of the frame, one of which is responsible for turning on the laptop.
Colors appear bright, colorful and vibrant, but contrast is noticeably lacking. The uniformity of illumination is quite high. The viewing angles are traditional for devices of this class: a narrow vertical angle. You cannot avoid glare in the sun, because the glossy surface practically turns into a mirror in bright light.
Keyboard and touchpad
The information input devices are very, very convenient. The shape of the buttons is quite specific, vaguely reminiscent of a knight's shield. The keys are located at a decent distance from each other, so typing is quick and easy. There are no complaints about the layout: everything is in its place. The only remark could be attributed to the design of English and Russian letters: many would obviously be more comfortable if they were printed in different colors, and not just in different fonts.
The touchpad is very similar in appearance to the touchpad of MacBooks. Why? It’s just that there are no left and right buttons on the IdeaPad S10-3S touchpad, and the touch area itself is one large button. Only this button is not pressed everywhere: pressing the left half is similar to the left mouse button, and the right half is the same as the right mouse button.
Processor and performance
Now laptops that support fourth generation networks are being popularized. Therefore, keeping up with the times, Lenovo equipped its model with just such an interface. IdeaPad S10 3S Black Yota 4G WiMAX – this is how a black netbook with WiMAX support is labeled.This device is equipped with a processor Intel Atom N450 processor with a clock speed of 1.66 gigahertz. The processor has a small second level cache - 512 KB, and an FSB - 667 MHz.
The netbook is equipped with DDR2 RAM, the volume of which reaches 2048 MB. The bus frequency is 1066 MHz.
All documentation and multimedia library will be stored on a 250 gigabyte SATA hard drive. The spindle rotation speed is 5400 rpm.
The integrated Intel GMA HD X3150 graphics card is responsible for the graphics capabilities of the subnotebook. The memory for this graphics adapter is allocated from RAM and can be 256 MB.
Ports and communications
The developers of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 3S scattered the ports along the right and left ends of the case, leaving the other sides out of work for certain reasons: the entire rear end is given over to the battery, and the front is too flattened towards the bottom.
On the left side there is a USB port, a D-Sub video output, a card reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) and a connector for connecting a power supply. The right side contains an RJ-45 network connector, two more USB 2.0 ports and a pair of audio jacks. There is also a 1.3 megapixel webcam.
IdeaPad S10 3S Black Yota 4G WiMAX is equipped with Wi-Fi (802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n), Bluetooth and Yota 4G WiMAX adapters. Thanks to the latter, access to fourth generation networks is provided.
Battery
In offline mode, the laptop can last about 9 hours (in reading mode). In classic mode, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 3S netbook can work for about four and a half hours. This autonomy is provided by a 48 Wh battery. Quite good results, right?Widget from SocialMart
