An S10 is a netbook with a crappy slow atom.  The ideapad U150 has a Core
2 Duo (not a fast one, but easily 3 times the speed of the atom) with
4GB ram (not 1GB), a dvd writer, twice the disk, full 64bit windows
(not stripped down starter edition) (for those that care to have windows),
and a 1366x768 rather than 1024x600 screen.  The X4500 is also a much
newer video chip from intel than the ancient 945GSE.
