The Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink
That “Legally Blonde” Laptop For The Masses

Want a pink laptop?

Well, the Apple iBook doesn’t come in that color, and even if it does, it will be way too expensive for most people’s budgets.

The Sony Vaio is an excellent choice, as well, but it’s not really what we can describe as affordable.
Other options?  Most don’t come in pink while other simply don’t have the history of reliability that the more established brands possess.

But wait.  Don’t lose hope just yet.

Lenova, one of the leading names in consumer electronics, has released a laptop for the masses, and yes, it comes in marvelous pink.  The Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink is a dream come true for students and casual computer users.  It comes with a plethora of features, and more importantly, it comes at a price that won’t burn your finances.

At less than $400, the Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink can be considered a steal.  Consider the following features that can easily make this laptop the envy of many similar items, including those published by the more renowned brands:

- 1.6 Ghz processor.  Not as powerful as the dual cores of newer laptops, but not a slouch either.  It is enough for the usual tasks that a computer is expected to fulfill, as well as games that aren’t graphic-intensive.
- 512 MB RAM, upgradable to 1.5 GB.  Not bad, as well.  May have difficulties running Windows Vista, but why on God’s green earth would you want to install that OS, right?
- A total of 160 GB storage space.  This is quite a sizable built-in capacity for a laptop.
- Built-in 4-in-1 card reader for easy synching of your other gadgets.
- 10.2” TFT LCD screen, anti-glare, capable of widescreen displays, and has a max resolution of 1024×600.
- Intel GMA 950 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 3.0 graphics processor.  Not really apt for the games of today, but the Lenova Ideapad S10 isn’t really meant as a gaming rig.  The graphics processor is more than enough for the tasks that this laptop is built for.
- Built-in 1.3 megapixel camera.

Despite not having cutting edge components, the Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink is no slouch.  And for its price, it’s a definite bargain indeed!
However, do be forewarned about some issues regarding this laptop model:

- Battery life is suspect.  Some report normal expectancy, while others complain of abnormally short service per charge.
- Keyboard can be very small for big fingers.
- Heats up easily because of a weak fan.  May need an external cooling source.

Also, some owners claim that the pink casing of the Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB accumulates dirt quite easily.  

But hey, that’s a given and it doesn’t really matter.  It’s pink and that’s what’s important!

The Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink is an excellent purchase.  You’d be hard pressed to find a brand new laptop of a similar value for the same price.
