Overall, we like the calming brown and gray Quick Start interface with the large, colorful icons denoting the different features. Note that XP does not load in the background: when you switch to XP you'll have to watch it load. At any time, you can press one of two on-screen buttons to either shut down or switch to XP. When Quick Start first loads, you'll see a ten-second countdown on-screen: if you don't start using Quick Start's features in that time, the computer will automatically start booting XP. Within seconds you'll have access to your music, photos, Skype, chat clients, and a pared-down Web browser based on Mozilla Firefox. Just press the power button and the computer will boot into Quick Start (you can disable Quick Start in the settings if you'd rather boot directly into XP). The S10e is one of the first IdeaPads to include Quick Start, Lenovo's version of Splashtop, the instant-on OS, which boots faster than Windows XP, the netbook's primary operating system. The speaker strip, located above the keyboard, isn't the loudest, of course, but it was sufficient for listening to Hulu and YouTube clips in a quiet room. Having less pixels running lengthwise down the screen on this system means more scrolling while viewing Web pages and documents.
The S10e's 10.1-inch screen looked bright, although the 1024 x 576-pixel resolution was too low for our tastes other netbooks have a resolution of 1024 x 768 or 1024 x 600 pixels.
