The Wall Street Journal: A Netbook-Tablet Hybrid

Reviewer Jonnelle Marte liked some of what she saw, but found the Lenovo hybrid a little slow. She also didn’t like the screen for reading. Bottom line: Marte will hold out for an iPad. (Ah, but an iPad won’t have a keyboard, and this one does. Ed.)


“Tablet computers are attracting so much buzz these days, in anticipation of Apple’s iPad launch, that even lowly netbooks are adding tablet features.

I tested Lenovo’s tricked-out netbook, the IdeaPad S10-3t, which adds a rotating touch-screen that can turn into a tablet to its basic netbook functionality.”
