Service and upgrades

CAUTION

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or your documentation. Only use a service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note:

Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are referred to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with an AC power cord, always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. For more information on CRUs, see Appendix B, “Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs),” on page 139. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the following warnings are required for your safety.

S10 specifications

The Lenovo S10 is a compact and versatile netbook that stands out in the crowded market of portable computing devices. Launched as part of Lenovo's Ideapad series, the S10 aims to provide users with an ideal combination of performance, portability, and affordability, making it a great choice for both students and professionals alike.

One of the key features of the Lenovo S10 is its lightweight design, which makes it easy to carry on the go. Weighing in at around 2.6 pounds and measuring just 10.2 inches in size, the S10 is designed for maximum portability, allowing users to slip it into backpacks or briefcases with ease.

Under the hood, the Lenovo S10 is powered by Intel's Atom processor, which delivers impressive performance for everyday tasks such as web browsing, document editing, and media playback without draining too much battery life. The netbook typically comes with 1GB of RAM, which can be upgraded to 2GB, providing users with enough memory to multitask efficiently.

Display quality is essential for user experience, and the 10.1-inch screen of the S10 offers a resolution of 1024x576 pixels. This provides clear and crisp visuals, making it suitable for watching videos and engaging in online activities. Additionally, the LED-backlit display enhances battery life while delivering vibrant colors and improved brightness.

For connectivity, the Lenovo S10 is equipped with Wi-Fi support, allowing users to connect to wireless networks with ease. It also features multiple USB ports, providing options for connecting external devices such as flash drives, mice, and keyboards. An SD card slot allows for convenient memory expansion, making it easy for users to transfer files and media.

The netbook’s keyboard is another highlight, designed for comfortable typing during extended use. Although smaller than full-sized keyboards, the keys are well spaced and offer a good amount of tactile feedback.

Battery life is a crucial aspect of any portable device, and the Lenovo S10 delivers in this regard with around 3 to 5 hours of usage on a single charge. This ensures that users can stay productive or entertained without being tethered to a power outlet.

In summary, the Lenovo S10 embodies the essence of portable computing while offering essential features and functionality. With its lightweight design, solid performance, and good battery life, the S10 remains a reliable choice for those seeking an affordable and efficient netbook.
