Engadget has a review of the Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t tablet netbook up, and concluded that this machine is a no-go for them.
The unit that they reviewed is one with Intel Atom N470 processor, 4-cell battery and Windows 7 Home Premium which cost $649. The touchscreen is found to be pretty responsive and browsing through the internet using the touchscreen is enjoyable. The battery life is also quite decent which lasted for 4.5 hours of continuous web browsing.
However, there are several drawbacks on this machine that Engadget is disappointed about. The first one is that it’s found to be performing slower than the HP Mini 210 which is equipped with a slower Atom N450 processor. And then when they were testing out the built-in accelerometer, they have to manually press the button on the screen bezel for rotation — the accelerometer isn’t working for them. Finally, they also find the keyboard and touchpad of the S10-3t to be too small, and the viewing angle of the screen is pretty poor.
Here’s a hands on video from Engadget showing some touch interface and also the poor screen viewing angle of the s10-3t.
