ASUS & Lenovo 10-inch Netbook Reviews

• Futurelooks: Asus Eee PC 1005HA Seashell Netbook Reviewþ:
  
  

  "In my experience, Asus has always offered the best build quality in its class and the Asus Eee PC 1005HA Seashell is no exception. Everything is well built and the netbook certainly feels solid for something that costs less than $400. I am glad that I am able to stream live video through Ustream on this, which is usually a good benchmark test to see what a netbook can do. However, this netbook is certainly not without its faults.
  
  The spec sheet has not been improved at all compared to previous iterations, so the performance level is comparable at best. The fantastic chiclet keyboard has been abandoned for some reason and we’re getting a strange bumpy trackpad. I like neither of those changes. Given its MacBook Air-inspired profile, it’s also unfortunate that this Eee isn’t that much thinner than its non-Seashell counterparts."

• ThinkComputers: Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 Netbook Review:
  
  

  "With all of those improvements internally the S10-2 is basically the same except you do get the option of built-in 3G if you would like. The Intel Atom N270 processor still does a great job and if you plan on using this netbook for just that surfing the internet and word processing it performs perfectly and the extended battery life is nice if you are always running around.
  
  With all that said if you have an original S10, there really is no reason to upgrade to the S10-2, but if you are in the market for a 10.1-inch netbook and cannot wait a few months for the Windows 7 netbooks to start appearing then the S10-2 is a great choice. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 Netbook a 9 out of 10 score and our Recommended Award!"
