00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.080
so we got here today a Lenovo yeah I should have checked with

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:20.039
more so we have a Lenovo Idea pad S10

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:25.480
here which is supposed to be the next big thing in subnotebooks so we are

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:33.079
going to open it up it features an Intel Atom Processor 512 Megs of RAM 80 gig

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:34.360
magnetic hard drive Windows XP a 10.2 in

00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:41.160
LCD display and it comes in a box that is

00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.160
rated for

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:54.559
2.55 no 25.5 pounds per inch of edge Crush so

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:58.480
that's very very impressive Lenovo thank

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:00.120
you inside we will find the Lenovo S10

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:07.280
subnotebook we find a wow that is a thick thick

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:12.600
instruction manual it's like really thick it's awesome see this

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.560
is what happens when I don't prep at all for things so then we've got our

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:22.960
accessory box which I'm going to assume has yes the power

00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:27.439
adapter and a battery so not much in the way of accessories come with the S10 but

00:01:25.479 --> 00:01:31.799
stay tuned we're going to open this baby up and have a

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:35.680
look so first impressions is it is a little bit on the heavier side for a

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:38.439
subnotebook including the three cell battery but it's also a little bit

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:44.920
bigger than most of the subn notes out there so we're going to take off the

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.640
plastic covering here which is um held

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:52.119
on by masking tape very classy and we're going to take off the little protective

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:57.039
plastic cover on the Lenovo logo which is very shiny and very nice the finish

00:01:54.240 --> 00:02:00.000
on this is kind of a a matte black uh looks like it's going to be a bit of a

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.159
fingerprint magnet but again that would be a common theme for all of the

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:11.319
oh this is nice the inside has H kind of a

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:14.239
traditional IBM matte black finish to

00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:18.599
the Keys and to the whole interior of the unit which has a bit of a sparkle to

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:24.160
it actually and we're going to take the screen protector off

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.560
here that is a very classy looking little subnote so there's actually

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:32.800
little chromed accents around the webcam as well as on the power button I'm in

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:38.000
and have a close look at this keyboard this is one of the better subnote

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:40.840
keyboards we've seen yet and I'm just

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.200
going to test it out really briefly here okay the one complaint right off the bat

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:48.959
first let me say it is not a multilingual keyboard so if you want an

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:54.440
englishon keyboard this will do it for you however in my opinion the shift key

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:59.080
on this side should be a little bit closer to the home row instead of having

00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:03.159
an up Arrow there the left shift is quite comfortable and most of the other

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.920
keys are within comfortable reach including the enter key and the

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.920
backspace as well as tab caps lock anything else that you're going to

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:20.280
need so on the right side of the notebook we've got Express card

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:22.680
headphones microphone USB and Lan with a

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:27.840
Kensington lock and then on the other side of the

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:29.879
notebook we've got a DC in so that's for

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:36.040
your uh your wall adapter then you've got a VGA out an SD card and one more

00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.560
USB port so the S10 does have one fewer

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:41.959
USB port than most of the other subnotebooks that I've seen it does have

00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:47.599
some other advantages as well though such as the bottom plate from here you

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.560
can see that you can easily access both the RAM and the hard drive just by

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.560
taking out two screws it's much more user friendly than some of the other

00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:59.439
subnotebooks out there and it'll make user upgrades theoretically a breeze

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:04.680
although it's not likely to win any prize for the best value or necessarily

00:04:01.799 --> 00:04:07.560
even the best feature set the S10 is great for if you have a little bit more

00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:13.720
money for your subnotebook and you want to look absolutely fabulous while you're

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:16.959
using it the style and the form is

00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:19.079
unprecedented for the Lenovo S10 uh also

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:23.600
if you have any suggestions for future products or any topics you want to see

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.600
