Hi,
This netbook delivers everything as advertised and then some. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because the facial recognition does not work except under ideal lighting conditions. I don’t really need the facial recognition anyway but it needs refining before being released to the public. Everything else works great.

This little notebook computer has been wonderful to take to work. I take it every day so I can check my email because we can’t use our work computers for personal use. I have had no problems with it and would highly recommend it to others. Before I bought my Lenovo I looked at a lot of notebook computers at my local big box store, but they were all pretty flimsy and felt more like a toy. This one feels a lot more sturdy–more like a regular laptop. I am very happy with my purchase.

I highly recommend this netbook.
A key reason I bought a second S10 when I needed (OK, wanted) another netbook: I’ve dropped the first about a dozen times, knocking it off the armrest of an easy chair onto carpet, about 2.5 feet down, and the Lenovo has kept working all this time. (OK, I should be more careful with it, but its hardiness has actually enabled me.)
I bought the previous version of the Lenovo S10 as a stopgap; my full-size laptop caught a virus while I was away from home for weeks and I didn’t have time to clean it up. I ended up using the S10 a lot, and discovered that it did all the vanilla stuff I do most of the time. Then it caught a virus while I was away from home, and I was able to use the OneKey feature to wipe out everything back to factory settings. That worked great (as long as you’ve backed up your stuff before a virus).
The latest S10-2 has longer battery life, and is sleeker and more polished. Nice job on the update, Lenovo. (The S10-2 comes in pink, green, gray and black, which I chose.) I sure didn’t buy the first S10 for its boxy, utilitarian looks, so the redesign was a pleasant surprise.

Several netbooks including Acer, Asus, HP and etc were considered before buying the S10-2. I eliminated Acer and Asus due to the ‘cheap’ looking plastic quality of the device and lack of quality support. I ultimately decided on Lenovo S10-2 based on my past experience with the quality of IBM ThinkPad (since Lenovo is the old ThinkPad biz). Also, the support was great when I had a question regarding the product. Also, the OneKey Recovery is a great feature on this NetBook to “reset” without a CD or download.
Battery life is better than expected. Depending on use, I can go as long as 8 hour without recharging.
Overall, I would recommend this product to my friends and family.
