I have a Lenovo S10. I also bought one for my wife. We love them.

A student here has one of the other models that gets an honest 7+ hours battery life with hers, but it weighs north of 3 pounds. The S10 has a weak battery (2 hours or so) but it weighs 2.4 pounds. I bought an extended battery on eboy that gives me an honest 4.5 hours.

I also bought the S10-2 recently, it has three USB ports which is better than the S10, but gave up a couple of things that I like. I also picked up a Dell D420 for just over $200 on ebouy ... dual core so it runs much faster than the Atom chips and is still around 3 pounds. With a choice between used D420 or new S10, I'd take the Dell to be honest. The only neg that I have with the D420 is the 1.8" drive. Other than that it's pretty much a perfect small computer. I like it better than the Lenovo X61S that I had not long ago.

You can't beat the convenience of having a computer that weighs 3 pounds or less.
