Best Pink Laptops

Netbooks have lately become a fashion trend with each company trying to come up with the best possible combination of portability, features and price. To us customers, this just translates into more choice at competitive prices. If you too are considering getting onto the netbook band wagon, and are looking to find a lightweight unit in your favorite color then read on to find out about the Lenova IdeaPad’s S10 which is now available in Pink.

As you probably already know, there’s almost no difference in the processor and RAM specs offered by all the brands in the netbook market, however, it must be said here that the Lenova IdeaPad Pink S10 is much more upgrade-friendly than any other model, most of which can’t be taken apart by the average user.

The 160GB hard drive (5400 rpm) not only provides more than adequate space but is also faster than those of both the Asus Eee PC 1000H and the MSI Wind PC. The chassis of this pink S10 is also slimmer than those of the above mentioned competitors. The 10.2 inch display comes with a 1024 X 600 pixels resolution that also boasts anti-glare protection which results in clearer vision even outdoors.

One interesting feature of the Pink S10 is the Onekey feature which, at the click of a button (located right above the keyboard) allows you to recover and backup your data in an emergency. This feature can also be accessed from the Start menu.

Going online with the pink S10 is a pleasure with it offering the second fastest transfer rates (Acer Aspire One is the leader in this matter). The built-in Bluetooth is unique in that it allows you to use the external keyboard and mouse without taking up any one of the two available USB ports. The ExpressCard slot is another important addition.

The keyboard is well spaced and is bigger than both the Acer Aspire One and the Dell Mini 9 but is smaller than those of the Asus Eee PC 1000H and the MSI Wind PC. Where appearance is concerned some professional reviewers have spent a considerable amount of time pointing out the toy-like appearance of the S10 as a significant flaw, but that need not be so especially when coupled with the delicate color pink. What’s more, the glossy appearance while adding to the appeal of this netbook, doesn’t attract as many fingerprints as say, the Dell Mini 9.

There are a couple of minor design errors that must be mentioned as well. To begin with, the speakers on the unit are located at the front edge, below the mousepad, and when used can seem to be putting out music or other forms of audio at the waist-level. The volume was good though and there was hardly any distortion. When accessed through headphones, the audio quality and clarity are great and leave nothing to be desired. The second disadvantage involves the fact that this unit tends to heat up rather quickly. However, the same can be said of all other Intel Atom powered netbooks. Lastly, the reduced battery life offered by the 3 cell batteries is a true disadvantage. At just 2 hours and 20 minutes, it might not be ideal for extended usage when on the move.
