Good enough

Pros: Will work for most. A little cheap feeling, but not enough to knock it. Great price!

Cons: Feels like a cheap mouse. Hey wait, it was a cheap mouse! My bad!

Overall Review: Good item

Most Critical Review

Vista j-j-junk - XP g-g-great

GIGABYTE GN-WP01GS Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Works like a charm - on XP.

Cons: I fought with this card for weeks on Vista. I don't know who is to blame, but it don't matter. Don't say your card works with Vista when it is real buggy.

Overall Review: I have been near homicidal over this card. I finally switched it to a XP machine, and a-la it works. No driver CD needed! In Vista I used the CD, No CD, web-site drivers, everything I could think of. Nothing worked. Its junk - on Vista.

Surprisingly Great

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-1211Ubk Black Intel Atom N270(1.60 GHz) 10.2" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Extremely good battery life even on 3-cell 3+ hours. Increased RAM to 1.5 gb super easy. Installed Windows 7, works perfectly with all the bells and whistles. First LED screen I have seen, excellent, no off axis distortion. Very lightweight 3 lbs.

Cons: Keyboard is a tad small. Takes a while to get used to the size difference in keys. Mouse is very good compared to other netbooks, but it is still about half the height of a standard touchpad. (all trade-offs for a netbook, so not really cons, uy a notebook if that is what you want) Missing bluetooth, which is odd.

Overall Review: Very pleased with the S10. I transport my notebook everyday, so choosing a netbook has been a long process. I didn't want to sacrifice too much, yet still have a lightweight computer. The S10 is everything I needed. Going from a 15.4" Sony (which I loved) to this is a scary concept, but I have been very satisfied. The S10 has become my everyday computer. I even use at home instead of my Sony or desktop. Windows 7 is a definite must over the included XP. Windows 7 speeds it up and extends battery life by about 30-60 minutes. Of course who knows when the actual retail product will come out, but I will definitely buy it. The build quality is superior to the netbooks I looked at. Very much Lenovo quality. I love this netbook!
