The Lenovo s10e is proving to be a very useful tool. I dont use any other computer now, not another laptop or even a stand alone. In fact others come to me for help from my S10e. It is a very useful teachers tool and assistant. The quickstart comes on instantly and has a super competent internet connection ability that never has a problem. The Skype connection was instant and is so useful and simple it is even apple like. very instinctive. never goes wrong. so i dont need to go into Xp most times. In Quickstart I have audeo, video, internet, skype etc. As well the hardware FN function keys make it very convenient and simple to manage your computing environment so a child could look like an expert. In some was its like many machines in one. Even when I do go into XP (which I do when I use 3G) it works well and connects to anything anywhere. If im in an expensive hotel with internet cable, it works. If im in the middle of nowhere no power available and no internet connection within miles, no problem, it works. (As long as you have some 3G USB plug) I was doing a business presentation with a powerpoint file and the office had no power, no lights nothing, but no problem, everything worked on the s10e and the powerpoint presentation was a success. The s10e is the size of a book and if I want to go online to read a book, there is nothing better. The people all like it a lot and the girls especially want to get one because its small and light and they like it and has the same internal configuration of the bigger machines.
