Lenovo BIOS update v90 for S9 and S10 netbooks can render machines unbootable

The video tour includes a comparison with the original S10 netbook and it is noted by Xavier from GottaBeMobile that the S10-2 “shares a lot of components with the original IdeaPad S10, but there are some nice upgrades” although, he wasn’t as positive about the screen on the S10-2, stating that he would prefer the matte screen of the original S10 to have been used on the updated model.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 will be available to buy over the coming days and will be available in the US with a 6 cell battery and a 5400RPM hard drive although, 8GB and 16GB SSD models will be available to netbook buyers outside of the US.

Video Tour of the Lenovo S10-2 Now Showing

Blogeee.net have posted up the picture above which shows the new model and as they have noted, there is no news on whether Lenovo will release this special edition S10 anywhere else in the world, it is reserved for buyers in Hong Kong for the time being.

The Lenovo Ideapad S10 has been a popular addition to the Lenovo range and has recently seen it’s prices lowered on the Lenovo website for the less ‘blingtastic’ (not gold!) models of the 10 inch Lenovo netbook.

Special Edition “Gold” S10 from Lenovo

You can only answer each question once, on whether your Black Friday was great, saying what you bought and how difficult it was to get the items, or if it sucked, with items listed that you couldn’t get.

A winner will be picked at random next Friday, December the 5th.

Win a Lenovo S10 Netbook

There are pictures circulating on the internet currently that shows a Lenovo S10 sporting a 6 cell battery – something that Lenovo haven’t announced that they are making yet.

The images show the netbook and show that the battery is protruding from the rear of the unit just like 6 cell batteries do. We don’t think it’s a Lenovo battery and there is no firm details on where the battery came from or who is making/selling them. It could be a prototype possibly. Wherever it came from, it will hopefully be available to S10 owners soon and we will let you know as soon as we get more information on the battery and on whether it will be available officially from Lenovo worldwide.

Lenovo S10 to get a high capacity battery?

Hot Hardware have posted up a short video giving an overview of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook:

The video gives a positive review of the Ideapad but, it also shows how cramped the S10’s keyboard is, an obvious drawback with many netbooks until you ‘get used’ to using them. That’s a shame as the sexy design, crisp 10 inch LCD screen, Atom processor and from $399 price tag makes the Lenovo a tempting choice for buyers. The build quality has also impressed many although, delays and a number of unhappy customers have marred the arrival of Lenovo’s new netbook.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is available in either red or white currently with black, pink and a blue models on the way in the future.

Quick Specifications:

OS: Windows XP Home

Processor: Intel Atom 1.6GHz

Memory: 512MB

Storage:80GB hard drive/1GB flash

Lenovo S10 Video Overview, Positive Review

The $40 difference may not be too much but it’s enough to make you upgrade the netbook’s CPU from 512MB to around 2GB. Enough to give the S10 a power boost.

But here’s the lowdown, the price reduction is available for all models of the S10 netbook except the red one. So those who’ve been wanting to purchase the red Lenovo S10 will have to weigh things first if they will sacrific aesthetics over price.

Lenovo S10 available at CompUSA

After delaying the release of the IdeaPad S10 and removing the order button from their website, the order button is now back up. Lenovo are reporting to start shipping the S10 within 2 to 3 weeks.

Brad Linder has checked his order status page, but it is showing as a longer period than 2-3 weeks for shipping. Instead it says it won’t start shipping until 18th November. Currently the only model available is the white version, so if you’ve ordered the black version you may have to wait even longer.

Pre-order IdeaPad S10 again

It seems that the Lenovo IdeaPad S10’s release date has possibly been delayed by two months. Customers that pre-ordered the S10 were expecting it to be released on the 9th September. However, some buyers have been tracking the status of their order and have noticed that the status was not updating throughout the day. In fact, the order status for pre-orders wasn’t updated by Lenovo until a day after the due release date. The status then showed an expected release date of November 18th.

It’s unclear as to why Lenovo waited until the 10th of September to update their customers but, they have managed to send out a few units to allow for reviews and photographs to be published. Unfortunately, it seems some customers are lacking in solid information as to when they should expect to get their hands on their new S10.
