Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t Pro Reviews

PC World‘s review Edit

This half-netbook, half-tablet would have probably been better if it had just stuck with one genre or the other.

Notebookcheck‘s review Edit

The impression left behind by the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t Convertible is two-sided. While the construction and design as well as the technical implementation are thoroughly impressive, the clunky 8-cell battery and the sluggish performance with Windows 7 (with 1 GB RAM) put a damper on the enjoyment. This convertible is certainly competitive in terms of runtimes and emissions. The tablet operation is a nice feature which is enhanced by the breadth of functions from Windows 7. However, one has to make some comprises in terms of comfort and functionality. Pure-bred tablet operating systems (Android, iOS etc.) offer a clear advantage in this area.

Engadget‘s review Edit

As both a netbook and a tablet the S10-3t leaves a bit more to be desired. Sure, we're disappointed that the N470 processor doesn't provide improved performance, but what's even more aggravating is that $649 buys you a tiny trackpad, sluggish touchscreen software and terrible viewing angles. Maybe you can live with those shortcomings, but we're personally holding out for a better netbook / tablet combo to come along.

SlashGear‘s review Edit

It’s unfortunate, but the fact that the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t promises so much – multitouch, usability both while desk-bound and while mobile – makes it all the more disappointing when it falls short. Add in the bouncy keyboard and the annoying trackpad and it’s not looking good.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T includes some unusual features, including the swivelling touchscreen, but it sadly won't suit all tastes. It's too heavy to wield one-handed for long in tablet mode, while in netbook mode it doesn't quite match the usability of others.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t seems more of a proof of concept than anything else. As a tablet, it’s not fun to use and it will have a negative impact on your productivity. Things could be better if Windows 7 Home Premium was installed, but the hardware also needs some tweaking. A screen with edge-to-edge glass would make scrolling a lot more comfortable and responsive; a trimmed-down hinge design would probably allow for a deeper palm rest and larger touchpad; and a webcam at the centre of the screen would make it possible to use the netbook for video conferencing. It’s clear that netbooks with touchscreens aren’t prime-time material yet.

Liliputing‘s review Edit

If the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t were simply a netbook, it would be a decent offering. It offers middle-of -the-road performance, a decent keyboard, and a compact, light weight case. I’d be happier with a larger touchpad and a more powerful battery, but I’d also be happier with world peace and a million bucks in my pocket. We can’t always have everything.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t convertible Netbook tablet is priced to compete with the iPad, but underwhelming battery life and unpredictable touch response mar an otherwise sharp-looking portable.

netbooked.net‘s review Edit

The IdeaPad S10-3t works great as a netbook with long battery life and a huge keyboard and it is pretty decent as a tablet but a few things bring lower the experience on the tablet side: It’s too heavy to hold with one hand, accelerometer doesn’t work as nicely as you’d expect and the whole Windows GUI and ecosystem is awkward to use with fingers. Lenovo gets around this with a customized app suite and launcher which works great but it is limited.

HotHardware‘s review Edit

We like the concept here, and we love the design. We're also keen on how portable the machine is, and the LCD swivel was top-notch. Unfortunately, everything else was average or sub-par. The trackpad is a real turn off, the screen is way too glossy to be used outdoors, the keyboard keycaps weren't great, and performance left something to be desired-we constantly found ourselves waiting for the machine.

Good-looking and sturdy, this netbook/tablet combo improves on previous tablet designs, but its performance lags behind that of the competition.

SlashGear‘s review Edit

While Lenovo have long offered tablet PCs in their ThinkPad range, CES 2010 saw the surprising debut of several more consumer-focused touchscreen devices. The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t lacks the eye-catching removable display of its U1 sibling, but still promises the company’s legendary build quality along with the benefits of capacitive multitouch.

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

If you can past the single-piece touchpad and lackluster speeds, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t is one of the few netbooks that have a rotating touch display.

Lenovo's tablet netbook offers a pretty good touch experience but doesn't last long enough on a charge.
