You can't currently buy a model with a 160GB drive...

i was sent this review before i saw it linked here too and my immediate impression was that it was a terrible review despite the fact i want to like the S10.

why is it so good…………………………?

why didn’t the reviewer justify its greatness by explaining why the S10 is better than the £20 cheaper Samsung S10 which comes with bluetooth, twice the battery, twive the memory, and twice the HD.

that was sloppy work from wired!

i’m not so sure i would be endorsing this review James, it’s pretty poor at best.

until this thing gets a 6-cell battery i wouldnt even bother comparing i to the 1000 or Wind. just “saying” they will release 1 in the next few months isnt enough, remember how long it took MSI to get 1 out?

when talking about value, the $469 price tag for 512MB RAM & 3-cell battery isnt very impressive at all. you can get twice the RAM & twice the battery in the 1000 for even less. with this being the smallest 10″ out there & having a KB that doesnt stretch to the edges is also very disappointing.

whenever Lenovo 1st announced the S10 i was VERY excited by it, but now after finding out more on it i am quite disappointed. hopefully they will bring the price down, increase the RAM & battery for now. then in Gen 2 address some of the design problems.

I have some serious qualms with this brief, lazy and uninformed review. There are major unfounded claims and a serious lack of comparison to warrant the 9 out of 10 score or the ‘best netbook’ claim.

The review writer clearly is inexperienced and should not have been put in the position of writing a review on such a majorly popular piece of hardware in the booming netbook space on arguably one of the net’s most trusted tech sites.
