Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Ideapad S100...there doesn't seem to be that many reviews on it. Amazon currently sells it for $309, which is cheaper than the S-10-3 which is $330. I believe some website says the S100 is an updated version of the S-10-3. Anyone shed any light about the S-100?

It's a bare basic Windows 7 Starter netbook, there isn't much to tell about it especially since netbooks are dead and manufacturers are moving onto bigger and better things. It will give you the absolute bottom in terms of performance (even worse than a $300 notebook featuring a Pentium processor) so 240p and 360p YouTube videos will be fine but anything higher will pose a problem. Office will be OK so long as you don't do anything that complex in Excel, Word, or PowerPoint. Other than that there really isn't much to talk about. It also doesn't matter which one is the newer version since they will both be bare basic netbooks. Its like comparing one slightly brighter orange to one that is a little darker. They are still both the same size and will taste exactly the same.
