Conclusion

The Lenovo Ideapad S12 is a great little netbook but it really doesn't offer much that other cheaper netbook's don't already offer. I can recommend it but there are still better choices out there for you to chose from. Most of the other choices don't all have 12.1'' screens most are 10.1".

Pros:

• Good looking design
• The S12 features solid build quality
• Excellent keyboard and screen
• Five hours of battery life

Cons:

• Touchpad could be a bit larger
• Screen could tilt back further
• Back of the lid could use a bit more protection
