Eco-smart and Energy Star® compliant

The S10-2 has many earth-friendly attributes such as a mercury-free design, energy management software, and is Energy Star® compliant, meaning this netbook attests to their superior energy efficiency. This lowers operating costs, but it also means less overall energy use and reduced heat emissions.

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.
