 Video Review of Lenovo S10-3t Nov 01, 2010
By Gadgetman
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3JIIX2QIUSUPB This is a video review of the Lenovo S10-3t with Windows 7 Premium and 2 GB of memory.
My overall impression is quite positive given the flexibility of using my existing PC applications and using it as a tablet for reading e-books, surfing the internet, and watching videos. One pleasant surprise is that the wide screen display gives me a much better internet browsing experience than my other existing netbooks. In my opinion, it does a lot more than an iPad with a similar price as its low-end model.
The multi-touch experience is not the best but it works quite well after some training.
Hope you enjoy this video
Cheers

 Lenovo listened to complaints Jul 26, 2010
By Michael Epting
Two things: this model (-85U) comes with Windows 7 Home Premium and with a 4-cell battery. Home Premium, unlike Starter, has a ton of built-in touchscreen features that all work well with this machine. If you read the reviews of the -37U version of the S10-3T, you'll see that many people complained about the size and weight of the 8-cell battery.
About speed -- I uninstalled most of the Lenovo "extras" and swapped the RAM for a 2 GB module (I used the Crucial only because it was Prime-eligible). The printed manual has clear instructions for replacing the RAM. At this point, the machine is quite snappy except when it isn't. That is, when Windows decides to do an upgrade or when some process runs amok, the machine becomes nearly unusable. The rest of the time, it is fine.
I really wanted an Android tablet, but since no acceptable one yet exists, this was a good compromise solution. I like having Windows, with its unlimited supply of applications, but I don't like the larger size and weight nor the limited battery life (I think it may be less than 3 hours, but I haven't run it down yet). For the best info, search for Jesse B Anderson's stuff -- he'll help you decide.

Perfect... Jul 27, 2010
By Jeffrey N. Cravener
"El Jefe"
...for what I was looking for.
I read a lot of digital comic books and had contemplated getting an iPad so that I could once again read my comic books anywhere, rather than sitting in the basement at the computer desk.
After learning how little space is on the iPad I started searching for iPad alternatives and the S10-3T came up.
I got it about a week and a half ago and it is perfect for my needs.
Not only can I read my comic books anywhere I want, I can do about 85% of the stuff I use my regular PC for. I find myself in the basement less and less. Still use the PC for photoshop work, development stuff, games, etc.
I too upgraded to 2 GB of RAM...you just have to...it'll make or break your perception of the netbook. I also use the SD card slot for ReadyBoost, saw def improvements with that as well. I removed a ton of the 'bloatware' (mainly lenovo pre-installed applications) that came with it. Also made some tweaks via [...]......great site for getting the most out of your S10-3T.
My 4 negatives (but by no means a deal breaker):
No bluetooth (i ordered a usb one)
No way (yet) to upgrade the CPU
Battery only lasts like 3 hours with WiFi on, though if i had the 8 cell, a negative might be the weight...right now i can hold it with one hand while reading
No SSD drive....from what I have read it really increases performance. Once they come down in price for larger ones (250GB+), i'll upgrade mine
Anyway...if you are not sure about the iPad, and don't want to wait for a legitimate Tablet PC, this will def be worth it.

Sleeper product: better and more popular than expected Aug 25, 2010
By WriterGirl

I was surprised by the size and weight. I thought it would be larger and heavier, but it's about the same size and weight as the HP Mini 10.2". My unit has the 4-cell battery, but it has Windows 7 Home Premium already installed which is a great trade-off. I purchased the larger battery from Lenovo and am still waiting for it. I immediately installed the 2GB memory upgrade. It was very easy to do. The hardest part of that process was unscrewing the back. The screws are embedded in the lid and do not come out, so they can't get lost. The old memory card snapped out and the new one snapped in. The system recognized it and I was ready to go. The unit comes with functional versions of MS 2010 Word and Excel. You would have to purchase the full MS Office program if you want all the components. The Natural Touch program may take some getting use to. The Lenovo uses finger touch-a learning curve. I am very happy I can watch movies through an optional portable DVD drive. As soon as I can get to a wireless connection, I will download iTunes and transfer my files. The speakers exist, but the sound through headphones is great. Music sounds good and has good bass. My unit also came with the SIM card option. I will test that at a later date because I am overseas. I put a DecalGirl decal on the outside cover, but they only make them for the S10 and it is not the same size. Still, it is enough to protect the outside cover from scratches and fingerprints until they make one specifically for the S10-3T. If it weren't for the difficulty I'm having in calibrating for finger touch, I would have given this a 5-star rating. The other drawback is it has only 2 USB ports, but I can get around that with a hub. I am going through the programs and getting rid of the ones I don't want. I deleted MacAfee and installed Norton Antivirus. I originally purchased this through Best Buy online but it was on back order indefinitely. I watched the price on Amazon until it dropped to $397 and I bought it quickly. A week later the price jumped up again and stayed high due to high demand. Every store I went to was sold out. If I had known everything about this unit I know now, I would believe it was worth $500 but not more. A netbook should not cost so much. Overall, I'm glad I got this. I travel extensively and this is a wonderful alternative to lugging around a full laptop.

A happy compromise! Aug 18, 2010
By Rhade70
Received it in record time from Amazon.com and I'm really happy. If you know what you are looking for then this is a great device for you. Those looking for a cheap Ipad killer should keep waiting. Just get an Ipad when the price comes down or wait for improvements to the bevy of Android tablets that have been coming out of Asia. I wasn't however, looking for an Ipad killer. I was looking for a 7 to 10 inch touch screen device that would bridge the gap between my laptop and my PDA. It's a netbook that converts to a touch tablet. That's it. It's not and is not attempting to be an Ipad. Two different classes of device.
I would have preferred the HTC Shift, a true UltraMobilePC, but it's still $750. Though too large to put in your pocket, the Lenovo S10-3t does well being carried in its little sleeve. It's been a conversation piece at the Dr's office.
PROS: I needed something large enough to be productive while mobile and access my Windows suit of programs, yet light enough not to cause shoulder strain. The S10 is spot on. Although having the physical key board was a must for Word docs. I rarely use it when web browsing or reading e-books. If I'm using it in bed I can sit it down on my night stand with one hand in contrast to my heavy Dell Inspiron 1501. The touch screen has been surprisingly responsive. Flicks are becoming second nature.
CONS: There was plenty of bloatware that I promptly uninstalled (Veriface, Natural Touch, etc). The speakers suck, so you'll need headphones if not in a very quiet place. It's a Windows OS, so even Windows 7 Home Premium gave me a Blue Screen of Death. Had to use OneTouch Recovery to reset to factory settings. Screen rotation could be faster. Has been working quite well though since.
My primary use has been web surfing during this summer. However, when school begins. I plan to use it during class to access and annotate lesson plans on the go and to enter student assessment data or observation notes. I'll update this review to let you know how it handles. I still love my PDA though.
