Lenovo S100 is not an Eye Candy

Just got a new netbook!

My new baby is the blazing red Lenovo S100 with 2GB DDR3 RAM and 500 GB harddrive that runs in Intel® Atom N570 Dual-Core processor. More to it, it only costs P14,000 with preinstalled Windows 7 Starter. Its 10.1" LED display is enough for the eyes to create documents and spreadsheets and browse the net. Its 6-cell Li-Ion battery can run up to 5 hours of usual usage (browsing and typing).

It's handy especially when I am at my workplace in the rural area. I can surf the net using my Nokia C3-01 as modem through its bluetooth connection, no need for a cable connector and a heavy laptop (sweet!). I can also use it in Wifi zone area. It has an SD Card reader which you can use to easily transfer pics from your cam or phones. The keyboard will suit even the users with big fingers. The package comes with a silicon keyboard protector that matches the color of the netbook (mine is a red one).

The downside is, it has issues in video playback. You cannot rely on it to play all types of videos. The speakers are not so decent (means the sound is not audible even if the volume is in half) , you may need external speakers to enhance the sounds. Also, the Windows 7 Starter has limited functions, like changing desktop background and cannot utilize the desktop slideshow. The aero theme is not installed. But you can upgrade your OS up to Windows 7 Ultimate.
This new netbook revived my blogging activities so watch out for upcoming posts!
