I have never heard of IMB. Are they are as good as IBM before they sold their crappy Deskstar hard drive that forced them to sell their hard drive business to Hitachi? I was hesitant in buying Lenovo since it’s basically a rebranded IBM laptop division that is now run by a Chinese company. Being that Acer, Asus, MSi, ECS, Gigabyte make good and reliable laptops I suppose it would not hurt to buy a Lenovo. Still I really do like the Gigabyte netbooks..not too crazy about the price. For a similar configuration as the S10-2 expect to pay about $150 more. But then you get a bit more robust software.

My SIM got stuck inside Lenovo too and I really need to use my laptop and mga SIM. Tried calling the hotline and it failed to give me quick options or any help.

Will it be safe to use the laptop even if the SIm is stuck inside?

So I’ve got this Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 netbook in my hands right now, I got it on Christmas. This is a great netbook, indeed! Althought the battery life is not as good as in, for example, the Samsung NC10. The keyboard is great! This model has Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz processor (not the traditional N270 that was mentioned in the video) AND unfortunately, though this has 10.1″ screen, it has only 1024 x 600 resolution. My sister has an Acer Aspire ONE D250 and it also has a 10.1″ screen but with 1280 x 720 resolution which is MUCH BETTER than this small 1024 x 600. It is a bit annoying because even a YouTube video cannot fit in the screen without zooming the page out a bit. I have heard that there are 720p resolution models available out there of this netbook. Well, it seems that I unfortunately got a non-720p one. I guess I can still live with it , this is still a great netbook. If you have any questions regarding this netbook model, feel free to contact me by e-mail.

I can’t seem to get Maplestory or Age of Empires III to run. Getting error “Initialization failed. Direct 3D initialization failed. Possible causes: old or corrupted graphics driver. Direct 3D improperly installed. Hardware acceleration disabled. Starting the application with the workstation locked. Please check file log for more information.”

Everything seems to be up to date. I can’t figure it out. Anyone got ideas?

I bought it for a nothing. It is a great laptop in terms of connectivity,mobility and battery life.
keyboard strokes are not that smooth but its fine, I can play a few games also like counter strike 1.2, age of empires 2, hitman 1 and 2 NFS underground 1. It’s great with MS office, autocad 2008, and 3ds max. It’s worth the money spent.

HI REA, i also faced similar prob with stuck sim, called the callcenter but its vain to do so. warning! to all, do not attempt to insert sim as it go all the way inside to god knows to what . i damaged my sim while taking it out with a thin pair of clipper. for those planning to buy do keep in mind first get the complete info how to use sim, and that this netbook gets too heated up on conti. use for more than an hour and mine started hanging and i had to run the restore prog. now i feel any regular laptop with small screen say 11” or 12” and dvd drive would have been better and plan to change.

Love this laptop. I originally bought it for my 15 year old daughter. She liked it but said the screen was too small to play her online games. I have been traveling (FedEx pilot) with it for over two months. It has been great. The mouse pad is fine. I prefer a wireless mouse though. I just ordered a 2GB RAM chip to speed it up. This was not necessary. It is just something that I do to all of my computers. I did disable several of the startup programs.
