The 10-inch S10-3 throws away the design of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2008\/09\/25\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-gets-reviewed\/\">S10<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2009\/07\/09\/lenovos-ideapad-s10-2-reviewed-great-battery-life-but-more-of\/\">S10-2<\/a> for a thinner body and a decorated lid, and we&#8217;ve got to say the 2.4 pound netbook felt quite light and sturdy in our hand. Under the lid we&#8217;re loving the same chiclet style keyboard that we saw on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/lenovo-skylight-hands-on-and-impressions\/\">Skylight<\/a>, though the touchpad with integrated mouse buttons looks a bit small for our tastes. For $399 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/lenovos-s10-3-hits-amazon-for-pre-order\/\">$379 on Amazon<\/a>) the S10-3 seems like it could be quite a worthy 10-inch netbook competitor, though we will have to see what its Intel Atom N470 and three-cell battery (there&#8217;s an optional six-cell) provide in terms of battery life.<\/p>\n<p> The $499 S10-3t tablet version is going to take a bit more of a sell though. The convertible netbook (fine, netvertible) is thicker and heavier than the S10-3 largely due to its hinge and thicker touchscreen. But regardless of the somewhat awkward design (especially with a protruding six-cell battery strapped to its back), the capacitive touchscreen was quite responsive to our touches and gestures, and we&#8217;re pretty impressed with Lenovo&#8217;s Natural Touch interface that its got running on top of Windows 7 Home Premium. But don&#8217;t take our word for it, hit the break for a look at the finger-friendly fun in action.  <\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-3-and-s10-3t-hands-on\/\">Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 and S10-3t hands-on<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-3-and-s10-3t-hands-on\/2583830\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/lenovos10-3gallery03_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-3-and-s10-3t-hands-on\/2583831\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/lenovos10-3gallery04_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-3-and-s10-3t-hands-on\/2583828\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/lenovos10-3gallery01_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-3-and-s10-3t-hands-on\/2583829\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/lenovos10-3gallery02_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-3-and-s10-3t-hands-on\/2583832\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/lenovos10-3gallery05_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/06\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-3-and-s10-3t-hands-on\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 and S10-3t hands-on<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/06\/lenovo-ideapad-s10-3-and-s10-3t-hands-on\/\">Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 and S10-3t hands-on<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:24:00 EST.
