hey guys John rende you're here with an unboxing for you of the Lenovo s10 netbook cozy that don't know a netbook is a subclass of laptops that's ultra portable a little bit underpowered but ideal for web browsing for blogging and for general computing needs like word processing and such a netbook is a ideal perfect choice I'm very excited to dig in and see what Lenovo has to offer here let's go ahead and open the box up the tape was already broken excellent all right here we've got the you Lenovo IdeaPad got a lot of there's some PR stuff in there throw that box off to the side nothing exciting in the PR envelope so here it is Lenovo IdeaPad let's see what else we have on the box here just tell you where where's packages in Shanghai see if it gives you some specs on the side here nope just some serial number some cautions and stuff and that's about it so let's go ahead and dig in looks like this was already open there's probably some sort of public relations insert in there or perhaps it's already been a review unit alright so we open it up and we're greeted with the netbook itself it looks like a box here with probably the accessories so let's take this out yep that is the computer itself it's very light don't assume it has a battery in it pull that off and we'll put the netbook off to the side here for just a moment we'll come right back to it Lenovo IdeaPad s9 and s10 this is the s10 like I said setup user guide and regulatory notice and I should mention that this is running Windows XP and some specs on this it's got a single core Intel Atom processor at 1.6 gigahertz it's got the GMA 950 integrated graphics accelerator it's actually the same integrated graph that used to be in the old plastic mat books it's got one gigabyte of RAM and a 10-point two inch WS VGA screen and 160 gigabyte hard drive spinning at 5400 rpm s so this little tiny laptop is actually not as powerful as one of the high scale laptops maybe we've had a couple years ago so really is actually relatively capable so we got the books let's see what we got in the box here and then we'll get to the fun stuff we have power cord power brick which is a relatively standard power brick the three prong plug is right in and rounding out the box we have what appears to be lenovo is extended six cell battery this extended part right here is the extra three cells so generally you just get this smaller portion right on the side let's go ahead and take a look at the netbook itself put it off to the side here so if you're interested in the lenovo netbook and i'll put a link to lenovo on the sidebar well run you about $400 with the extended battery so here is the laptop itself pull the box off to the side has some get a sense of how it looks here I think we've got a little bit of plastic on top will kill that off so perhaps this is actually a new you know just open to insert some things it's got a kind of a nice red glossy look to it very nice and it doesn't actually appear to be that big a fingerprint magnet which is nice for a glossy laptop let me tell you this thing is very light so let's pop in the battery and I will walk you guys around the device all right you just put the battery in and you will see that the six cell battery does extend out a little bit on the side actually kind of makes it nice and easy to carry if you had the three cell it would just be flush and around on the back actually it does have a very nice weight to it so on the side you've got your vents for cooling you've got actually a monitor port a VGA port which is actually quite nice so if you want to connect this a bigger monitor are you something larger than the 10.2 inch screen the integrated graphics chip actually will be able to handle that so it's very nice there's your simple power port it was like it actually has a SD card slot for hard drive expansion here we have a USB port on the front of the device you've got your speaker port right there with some LED indicators for power battery moving along the other side it's like you actually have an expansion port here on the side as well I'm at the camera focus there we go she got an expansion port on the side which actually quite nice for a netbook this does not have a built-in 3G card but you really could put one right there you've got your audio in audio out your second USB port and an Ethernet port and this of course does have Wi-Fi built in a B and G let's go ahead and open it up and take a look at the keyboard and it certainly is a small screen and a small keyboard but I guess that's kind of what you would expect from a netbook I'll do a full review on the keyboard how it is to type and how it feels let's just do some general impressions here keyboards have some nice clique to it the shift key appears to be one row up is a little bit strange it does have a very small trackpad I also believe this trackpad will support some multi-touch gestures but of course I'll have to use it to see and we've got a left click and a right click button so let's do a first boot up of us and let's see what it looks like this hasn't interested on OS in addition to Windows XP and I'll demo that a little bit later but let's just turn it on and boot it right up into XP and see if the battery has some charge in it and I should also mention that it does have a tiny integrated webcam as well for video chats let's go ahead and power this on there's no guaranteed as a charge in the battery it looks like there is get the Lenovo logo and here's where you can choose to boot into this QuickStart os power by Splashtop will do a walk through that later but let's exit it and boot right into Windows XP let's see how long the boot time is I think this is the first time it's booting up it should booting up boot it up it should be relatively quick this is my first foray into netbook certainly I've used many laptops in the past and netbooks are really are growing craze so I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about Lenovo certainly has one of the better offerings available your Windows XP splash screen and there you are it was a relatively fast food especially for Windows and we're off so I'll go ahead and let that boot up and I'll do a s size comparison to with you guys with a computer that you're probably familiar with the 13-inch aluminum unibody MacBook so go ahead and close this up give a little Yelp there so here we have the 13-inch MacBook move these both forward here so you guys can get a better sense of how they stack up size-wise now obviously the netbook is much much much smaller the 13-inch MacBook is definitely small on its own right but it's looks flat-out gargantuan compared to the Lenovo let's do it with comparison of the two you can see that there is not that big whiff difference and with the extra battery Lenovo has a little bit of added weight but that 6oo battery really I think is a must-have hey guys this is John Rhett enger' with the real quick unboxing of the
