The best netbook ever?

"Lenovo offers a few S10 netbooks; the S10e is simply targeted at educational deployments. Like every other netbook on the market, it’s no speed demon. With a 3-cell battery, it won’t win any battery-life awards either. I’m pushing 3 hours under moderate usage. However, that same 3-cell battery puts the sleek little netbook at 2.6 pounds with the lightweight power adapter.

"Where this netbook absolutely shines is in its keyboard and touchpad placement. The 10.1″ form factor gives room for a generous keyboard that feels wonderful and begs for touch-typing. The small shift key takes some getting used to, but the keyboard feel is all Lenovo/IBM/Thinkpad (anyone who has used a Thinkpad knows that’s a good thing). No flex, great tactile response, and no chiclets."
