(More customer reviews)This is one great little machine. Bought this to replace my aging IBM/Lenovo X60 that's been my road warrior for years. First tried an Asus 1005 because they had such good ratings--what a mistake! They keyboard was awful, with poor responsiveness and that da** little right shift key that I just could not get used to. And I really had issues with the touchpad, but I thought it was just me as I was used to the Trackpoint on my X60. So I took the plunge and bought this Lenovo S10-3. What a gem!! The keyboard is wonderful! Great tactile feel and responsiveness. The shift keys are normal size and the spacing and layout of the whole keyboard is perfect. And it feels very solid and well made--no sagging or flex. And the touchpad has won me over too. The scroll works well (and only when I want it too--no more inadvertent scrolling or continued scrolling after I want to stop) and the cursor control is very consistent. OK, I still have to use two hands to drag-and-drop, 'cause I can't work the left mouse button with my thumb while keeping my index finger perfectly still. I guess that's beyond the ablilities of my stiff old fingers.
As usual, you will want to delete a bunch of the pre-loaded junk that comes with the machine. Wi-fi is good, but I have not yet traveled extensively with this netbook. Video playback is way better than the Asus--very little stutter or freeze frames. Battery life is superb, but the recharge time seems a little slow. I can live with that.
All in all, a spectacular machine. Wish I would have tried Lenovo first! Anyone wanna buy a nearly-new Asus??
