The Lenovo IdeaPad S10’s display was crisp and bright.

The IdeaPad S10 is 7.75 inches across and 7.25 inches deep. The unit is a hair under an inch thick.

Lenovo is known for its great keyboards, and while this is a good one given its cramped form factor, the HP Mini’s is the best eWEEK Labs has tested thus far.

The IdeaPad S10’s display is better than the HP Mini’s and the Asus Eee PC’s.

The right side of the IdeaPad S10 features an Express Card slot for WWAN (wireless WAN) connections, audio-out and audio-in ports, a USB port, and an RJ-45 jack for cabled Internet.

The mouse pad buttons are placed horizontally at the bottom of the mouse pad, the ideal location.

The left side of the IdeaPad S10 features a power connection, a 15-pin display port for attaching a full monitor, an SD memory card reader and a USB slot.
