Fitting A Solid State Disk Into Lenovo S10 (AT&T)
I bought a Lenovo S10 for $188 to take with me on my upcoming trip to the Philippines. It was a good deal, the model I ended up getting has
- 1.6GHz Atom Processor
- 1GB Ram (room for 2)
- 160GB HDD
- Built-in 3G Modem
- GPS
- 802.11 B/G
In fact, I soon found out that this was the model that AT&T is selling for around $160 WITH a 2 year contract. I installed the following upgrades:
- 30GB OCZ Vertex SSD
- Bluetooth Module
Acer Aspire One Bluetooth Mod (Soldering Info) & Ram Upgrade
I have been in the market for a netbook ever since Asus announced their ~$200 laptop EEEPC way back, which started a major trend. And now that Asus has released a dozen or so models of the EEEPC and other manufacturers have released their own copycats, I gave the netbook market another look.
A recent article on Engadget caught my eye, revealing an announced price drop on the Aspire One to $350 for the Windows XP version with the 120GB HDD and 1GB RAM. I was interested, and when I saw a Best Buy coupon for $100 off any laptop and an advertisement showing the Aspire One in stock for the following week, I decided to jump.
