Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t Review
Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t, Netbook Sailing Touch Play
Tablet PCs from Lenovo this may have little value compared iPad plus. Although different position, IdeaPad S10-3p can answer iPad weaknesses such as: problems with Flash, memory card slot, and a physical keyboard.
Followed IdeaPad S10 is a tablet PC product multi-touch first made by Lenovo. With a price of around $ 595 USD and the latest Intel Atom processor N470, Lenovo as if to attract market share with this tablet pc.
Users can feel the sensation of touch screen on a netbook sailed around 180 degrees. One thing is unfortunate, S10-3t battery for only 4 cells. Plus touch screen feature that takes a lot of power.
We’ll see whether the advantages it offers, S10-3p could be an alternative choice iPad? or did it become expensive netbook touch sailing.
For a touch-screen netbook, S10-3t including light products. The reason is, with 1.27 kg weight, this product is very convenient to carry. With a night of cosmic motifs made from glossy, S10-3t elegant look when opened, closed or turned into tablets.
Unfortunately white plastic material that is in the keyboard body quickly made him dirty. In our mind there is a question. Why not carry the Lenovo glossy design across the surface and cover? Is not it better to make this product seem exclusive?
When we test with screen size of 10.1 inches, S10-3t was enough relief for office and browsing activities like a netbook. For port affairs, S10-3p equipped with: 2 USB ports, 1 VGA port, LAN ports 1 and 2 are divided audio jack on the right and left body.
When used for typing, the keyboard S10-3t it still the same as the previous version. One thing that is slightly different touchpad. S10-3t performing with the design a little rough-textured touchpad. Also right click button and the left is now merged with the touchpad. As a result the design of the keyboard lower body becomes more neatly.
Netbook ok, Tablet PC ok
Not tablets name can not be taken when interacting with the touch of a finger. So is the IdeaPad S10-3t this. When the screen is opened, the latest generation of the S10 is ready to be used as a netbook. If bored, users can rotate the screen for 180 degrees, turn it over and turn it into a tablet, which is ready ‘touch-touch’.
The design was carried tablet mode S10-3t is classified as not simple, with five buttons on the panel about the monitor. On the right side there is the power button and lock. While on the left side there is mute button, modifier screen size becomes vertical or horizontal, and the shortcut to the portal Lenovo Natural Touch.
One thing of interest here is the existence of some innate tools Lenovo, which features a touch screen to be more fun like:
1. Lenovo Natural Touch
Like touch screen Acer portal named ‘Touch Portal’, Natural Touch Lenovo has a unique look that can be removable to enter into an application. When compared with Acer’s portal, Natural Touch feels more ‘weight’. But the overall design more attractive.
2. Bump Top
Display desktop variation of this; change the existing shortcut on the desktop into blocks that can be affixed to a box made by Lenovo. Actually the function is not too useful, just a variation of the look ‘cosmetic’ Windows 7 alone.
3. Lenovo VeriTouch
Another application that is less useful but interesting. As the name suggests, serves VeriTouch restart, shut down shortly, atu to log-off with a symbol-specific symbol etched into the screen, using a finger verification. Unfortunately, the user must enter this first application, can not be directly executed. Huge waste of time.
In general, performance-S10 touch screen is very responsive 3t. Unfortunately, if a user is logged into the portal Natural Touch screen, for some reason the response becomes slow. Possible source needed to run this portal is tough, considering netbook RAM memory is only 1GB.
There is a more interesting application. His name is Lenovo DirectShare. This feature allows you to synchronize files between Lenovo products that also have DirectShare technology. Unfortunately this feature can not be used on the old products of Lenovo.
Performance Self-Responsive
Basically, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3p is a touch-screen netbook tablet intended for office users and lecturers. Viewed from its function, this product can pass the tests given in accordance by our portion, except for portal Natural Touch.
For compressed HD movie business such as YouTube, this laptop can run it smoothly. But certainly not for the full HD resolution. The results of tests conducted ITGazine, this laptop capable of running full-HD video streaming on YouTube, and ‘cackle’ when loaded with film Transformer II full HD.
Audio business do not ask. The voice that came out of the speakers was very ’shrill’ and not pleasant. Even sound like caged with a shrill treble domination.
This touch-screen netbook has a maximum resolution of 1024 x 600. When tested by us for browsing, typing with Microsoft Office, while listening to the file. Mp3, netbook is going pretty smoothly despite only 1GB of RAM memory equipped.
The body of this laptop did not feel overheated when loaded with the tests for about 3 hours. It seems Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3p do have enough air circulation is good.
For the battery problem, this laptop can hold about 3 hours, when used for browsing using Wi-Fi. Standard is, for a netbook with a 4-cell battery. As for the charging time takes about 2 hours.
Conclusion:
With a swivel screen design, this netbook be considered very suitable office workers loyal friend who loved to make presentations. In addition, the teacher or public speaker is also fitted for carrying a tablet PC this glossy design.
With the latest version of the brain and the Intel Atom 1GB of RAM memory, Ideapad S10-3t is sufficient if it is used for the needs of daily office. We want to type a document, this product as functionally netbook. As to the presentation, change to a lightweight tablet PC portable.
Unfortunately for the voice business, this product is a bit disappointing. Plus the innate battery 4-cell only, these netbooks could only last about 3 hours. With the USD price range. 5.5 million, IdeaPad S10-3p could be alternative choices for users who search for multifunctional touch screen gadget.

There are quite a few laptop manufacturers that also recognize the need for higher RAM which is why there are some which offer upgrade worthy versions where you can increase the RAM to about 2 GB also. This is not only possible but also becoming increasingly common in the world of mini laptops.

Many thanks for this valuable content. More often than not, the best opinions come from the websites you would not expect. Not long ago, I didn’t give a whole lot of thought to commenting on weblog articles and have left feedback even less. Reading through your pleasant article, may very well inspire me to do so sometimes.

Cons: I’ve owned this laptop for 3 months now and while it’s great to have all these bells and whistles I can’t stand the Fan noise. The fan is running 100% about 75% of the time and it’s noisy. Also the heat from this laptop is crazy. My dell 6400 insp. ran somewhat hot but not as bad as this. Like I stated above I’m still waiting for my copy of windows 7, but looks like this one comes with windows 7 already.
