Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Review

Matters of Power

As you can see, the battery’s placed between the LCD hinges. The default 3-cell (6-cell batteries are also available) doesn’t stick out much, and blends in pretty nicely with the overall look and feel of the S10.

Despite the apparent scale of the power brick in the image above, the actual size of said brick is pretty small. In terms of volume, i’d estimate it to be about less than half that my Dell XPS M1330’s power brick. If you’re bringing the adapter around, it won’t take up much room in your bag.

If you tweak your setup just right, you can almost get about four hours of operating time with the default 3-cell battery, though it was closer to three hours with Wi-Fi turned on, combined with a healthy amount of web-surfing, music and some time spent pecking away at the keyboard writing this article. Throw in a 6-cell battery and you can expect significantly longer operating time out of the S10.
