It is indeed the build quality aspects that set the Lenovo S10 apart from the competition. Compared to the first version of the Acer Aspire One for example, the S10 feels a lot more like a real laptop than a toy. To continue the comparison with other netbooks, it is also thinner than the MSI Wind with its 1.1″ thickness. Its weight is however on par with the competition at 2.4lbs.

In the standard configuration the Lenovo S10 comes with a 3-cell battery, which provides approximately 3-4 hours of battery life before putting the laptop into hibernation. Considering it’s a 3-cell, this is completely acceptable though. With the help some extremely simple calculations, you should expect about twice that if adding a 6-cell battery to the package.
Design-wise, the Lenovo netbook doesn’t really stand out in the crowd of similar low-cost mini laptops. It offers some metallic highlights, but otherwise the whole thing looks pretty standard. Seen as a whole, the S10 is still a viable option for anyone looking for a cost-efficient ultraportable. Especially if you favor durability over exclusive materials and/or have use for an Expresscard slot.
