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
