Lenovo's s10-3t(I call mine "taboo")
This device wasn't the fastest thing but the design was impressive enough for me to take home and use as an organizer. I never really did any tricks or hacks or mods to it, I basically just used it 'as is' for more than a year after purchase. I later find tips and tricks for it and then comes windows 8, once tricked out to install, this device runs faster and becomes worth every penny. There are lots of ways to "trick it out" with so many tips shared on the internet. I will continue to update this shrine with everything for the Levono s10-3t, my favorite "touch-net-book"

- backstory:
When I worked at Stanford I had to get a work laptop.
Went shopping online using the budget I was given and found the Levono X201 Tablet PC
The processing speed was super fast! After a few weeks of tricking it out and getting familiar,I had started to go paperless and came across a whole new way in doing my job and staying organized
(event planning / property management)
during my down time I would dabble in web/graphic design,
freehand writing, freehand art with the stylus, and on the job I would use it for presentations, managing digitally signed contracts, and simply taking notes in a meeting with no paper.
the only down side really was that you had to use the stylus (does not have natural touch/multi point = must use the stylus)
Right before I resigned back in Mar 2011 to pursue other opportunities...
I knew that eventually I would have to turn my work laptop in unless I was willing to buy it.
I commonly use my desktop for the power but could sure use a netbook for the portability but wasn't looking to spend more than what an iPad would be worth... and I already knew that I wasn't going iPad because I needed to run RMXP, test projects for lag, even so I'm just much more of a pc and android guy for the hardware and software options vs the preloaded with everything... I like to customize.
I ended up purchasing another levono with my own money, this time it was the S10-3t.

Having fun with my new S10-3t
so far I like it, I did have to trick out a registry through regedit to get RMXP to work on it since out the box the highest resolution it supports is 1024x600 and using RMXP to make projects needs to run at 1024x768.
Found a really cool program called "fakeres" on cherrytree.com. I've just upgraded the ram to 2GB
and I'm currently installing all the other programs I will use to make multimedia.
not sure if I'll ever be done trickin' out this little badboy,
there's just so many things you can do with it.
Super light weight, great battery life, compact with a full size keyboard, swivel/tablet touch screen under $500!? totally sweet. Don't plan on running games like star craft2 on it (though I will try ) but this will help with making projects that run well on minimal system requirements.
@blue - it's all about "capacitive" ^,^
"tie a string from your monitor to your pen?" lol
(IK late reponse)

^it took a bit of research and some patience but I was able to trick out my S10-3t with a SSD (solid state drive) ~ thx 2 swoop +++
the downside is that I'm going from 250g to 110g and I have to reinstall all the drivers and software that I use :~/
but even with the low end processor, this lil champ is now swift in response and doesn't stall anymore when shook! totally worth it.
I formatted it with windows 7 home premium for now, going pro later...
(had to do the win7 iso usb install trick)
I was tempted to go android since it has a sim card slot, but you can do so much more via pc.
I'm really loving this ideapad as I will use this to make and test my games for lag and good low spec performance.

^been checking out these videos online
didn't know there was so many hax for this device
and with the sim card slot available, it would be crazy to have the android option before windows 8
this little netbook (idea pad) is full of surprises... after all this time I've never really used it and now I can't put it down.
