Apple iPad vs. Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t
Immediately upon first glance, Lenovo’s IdeaPad S10-3t and Apple’s iPad share a resemblance in names. The similarities, however, extend further than simply their titles; both the form and the function of the two products parallel each other as well.
First off, the “innovative” touch-screen technology that make the iPad so highly anticipated also are seen on the IdeaPad. Although there have been complaints concerning lag on the IdeaPad’s touch-screen, Lenovo can potentially compensate by offering the classic netbook interface on the IdeaPad as well. With a simple swivel of the screen, the IdeaPad consequentially becomes a netbook/iPad hybrid. Sporting a full keyboard and mouse pointer, the IdeaPad seems to be a potential competitor towards the Ipad.
Unfortunately, the IdeaPad also has a few significant flaws: in an attempt to keep the size of the netbook at a minimum, Lenovo sacrificed the crucial handrest one constantly utilizes while typing. Furthermore, the battery life on the model is a mere 3 hours. Both the iPad and IdeaPad will be released at the similar price range from about $549-$649.
Now, consumers are left to decide whether the IdeaPad is a strong competitor against the iPad despite of its flaws, or is it interesting concept that requires more polishing?
