Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 Netbook Review

Testing

To test the IdeaPad we ran the normal Sandra tests. To compare the S10-2, we put it up against the original S10, which has basically the same hardware inside. Here are the specs for both systems.


IdeaPad S10
Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz Processor
Intel GMA 950 Integrated Graphics
1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Memory
160GB 5400rpm Hard Drive
Windows XP Home Edition (SP3)

As you can see they are basically identical, now onto the tests!

As you can see the tests were basically identical.

I also did an HD video test, testing the Tron Legacy movie trailer in 480p, 720p, and 1080p. All tests were conducted with Apple’s QuickTime player. Here were the results…

480p: smooth flawless playback
720p: smooth playback, but some jitters
1080p: jittery playback with many skipped frames.
