Inspired by a classmate in my Advanced Programming Languages class, a few days ago I bought a tiny new Lenovo S10 from Fry's.
The new laptop proudly sits atop my school-issued one.
I love it so far. It's cute, quiet, and plenty powerful for my computing needs.
It was painful to replace its Windows XP Home with my killer combination (Vista Business + Gentoo Linux) since the machine has no CD drive and I don't have a USB CD drive. Its BIOS did not recognize my SATA-to-USB bridge because the latter takes too long to initialize. In the end I disassembled the laptop and moved its hard drive to a desktop machine, installed Windows, then made a bootable USB flash drive for the Gentoo part. Now all's well.
Did it come with any OS at all?
It came with Windows XP Home.
