I’m thinking of getting a ‘mini-laptop’
Posted By nikki on March 30, 2009
All of a sudden it seems that everyway I turn I’m seeing these ‘mini-netbooks’ everywhere. You go out on your lunch break and if there’s wi-fi available, people are pulling these little computers out of their purses or perhaps a breifcase but there they sit, working on whatever on their lunch break. Well I decided to check into one for myself so I might be able to blog whenever and where ever I please.
Here’s the one I think I’ll get and a little about what they (PC World) has to say about it:
Despite its “mini” status, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 houses some big-boy features. Among them are a (relatively) roomy 10.2-inch, 1024-by-600-resolution display and a 5400-rpm, 160GB platter-based hard-disk drive — the largest hard drive we’ve seen on a netbook yet.
Though the S10 has the same 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU and 1GB of RAM as most other mini-laptops we’ve tested, it outperforms them all. The IdeaPad S10 earned a score of 41 on our WorldBench 6 benchmark tests; it’s not a speed demon by any means, but consider that the nearest competitor equipped with the same guts received a mark of just 37.
If you’re looking for a big, beefy hard drive and surprisingly sprightly performance from a mini-notebook, the IdeaPad S10 is a solid pick.
