Lenovo IdeaPad S10 (6-cell battery) – 26,999 pesos

lenovo-ideapad-s10e


A new variant of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 that comes with a 6–cell battery is now here in the Philippines. This new model seems to be the same as the IdeaPad S10e we mentioned recently but is simply called the S10 here in Manila. Not surprisingly, it appears just like an ordinary S10. What makes it unique though is the seemingly better keyboard with larger keys, a plus for netbooks of this size. It’s listed at different prices in various stores, but commonly sells for 26,999 pesos. Not a cheap price, now with other models selling for much less. However, this is somehow reasonable as the IdeaPad S10 is better in many respects compared to its competitors. But is the price difference completely justified? Only the market can tell.

Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Mac OS X?

Lenovo IdeaPad S10 running Mac OS X.

Everyone seems to be trying to run Mac OS X on their netbooks. Now it’s the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 turn to join the fun, successfully installing the operating system and with wifi working after some shell hacking. Unfortunately, some essential components like sound are not working, thus preventing this whole hack from being a complete alternative OS for this netbook. Kudos to NetbookTech.com for getting this far with their IdeaPad!

Now why is everyone trying to get OS X on some other hardware and not simply buy a Mac?
