Acer Extensa 7620G Battery

Here’s one example: Web users can be recognized from just the way they type on a keyboard, even if they use an identity-shielding service like Tor. And another: Browser size and quality can also be used to pick people out. The unconventional ways in which we can be recognized, recorded, and tracked by our gadgets are stacking up—and, with them, likely a whole new set of privacy battles.

Just how much laptop can you buy these days for under $200? Starting at $199, the Lenovo Ideapad 100S is a lightweight, long-lasting Windows 10-powered laptop with a touch of style, good viewing angles and over 9 hours of battery life. Like other systems in this price range, the 11.6-inch 100S offers very modest performance and cuts some corners when it comes to keyboard and touchpad quality. However, if you're willing to live with a few compromises, you can get a very capable secondary computer or child's laptop for a great price.

For a laptop this inexpensive, the Lenovo Ideapad 100S looks anything but cheap. Available in red, blue, gray or white, Lenovo's low-cost laptop has a classy matte finish that carries the accent color and persists from the lid to the system's bottom. The rubber feet match the color, but the sides and deck are a subtle black color with a similar matte texture, which did a good job of resisting fingerprints.

At 11.5 x 7.95 x .69 inches and 2.2 pounds, the Lenovo Ideapad 100S felt incredibly light and portable, both in my hands and my bag. The Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 11 is nearly the same size (11.5 x 7.95 x .7 inches), but weighs -.2 pounds more, while the Lenovo 100S Chromebook -- the Chrome OS version of this laptop -- is slightly larger and heavier (11.81 x 8.23 x 0.78 inches, 2.52 pounds). The Asus EeeBook X205TA (11.2 x 7.6 x 0.6, 2.16 pounds) is ever so slightly smaller and lighter, however.

While most Windows PCs come with hard drives or SSDs that have hundreds of gigabytes of capacity, ultralow-cost laptops such as the Ideapad 100S, HP Stream and Acer One Cloudbook series typically come with 16, 32 or 64GB of eMMC storage memory. The Ideapad 100S comes with 32GB; 17GB of that is free, with the rest taken up by Windows 10. You can expand the storage by purchasing an inexpensive microSD card, which gives you another 64GB for just $20, or you can use some of the 1TB of cloud storage that comes with the included Office 365 subscription.

Display And Audio The 11.6-inch, 1366 x 768 display for the Ideapad 100S isn't as colorful or sharp as those on expensive laptops, but it provides surprisingly good image quality with wide viewing angles. When I watched a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I could easily make out fine details like the beads of sweat on Finn's brow. Most colors, including the red in a First Order flag, seemed mostly accurate, though a bit muted. However, even at a full 90 degrees to the left or right, the colors barely faded.

According to our tests, the screen on the Ideapad 100S can reproduce 62 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which doesn't allow for the richest shades. However, this showing is a bit better than the Aspire Cloudbook 11 (59 percent) and the 100S Chromebook (58 percent) and a tiny bit worse than the Asus X205TA (68 percent).

The100S's brightness rating of 243 nits is better than the Asus EeeBook X205TA's mark of 217 and about on par with the Acer Aspire Cloudbook 11's rating of 250 nits.

The Ideapad 100S's bottom-facing speakers provided sound that was loud enough to fill a living room but not exactly high fidelity. When I listened to Styx's guitar and drum-heavy "Blue Collar Man," the percussion was very tinny, but surprisingly, there was a good separation of sound between the left and right sides. Major Lazer's synth-laden "Lean On" was clearer, but still a bit distorted. The audio fidelity and volume on both songs was much better when I placed the laptop on a flat surface rather than balancing it on my lap.

With only 1.2 mm of vertical travel (1.5 to 2 mm is typical) and a flimsy base that flexes like a trampoline as you type, the Ideapad 100S's keyboard is a mixed bag. However, the scallop-shaped keys are fairly large, easy to target and have a snappy feel, thanks to a solid 60 grams of actuation force. On the 10FastFingers typing test, I scored 92 words per minute with a 2 percent error rate, which is on the low side of my typical 92- to 95-wpm time.

Despite the flaws, the Ideapad 100S offers a far better typing experience than the Acer Cloudbook One 11, which has keys that are .5 mm narrower, 2 mm shorter and cramped together with .5 mm less pitch. We just wish Lenovo had avoided flex, like it does on the 100S Chromebook, which is $20 less.

In our tests, the 3.3 x 1.75-inch touchpad offered highly accurate navigation around the desktop, but it does not support pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling or other gestures. On the bright side, the pad has two discrete buttons for left and right clicking -- a rare but very useful feature that helps it avoid the jumpiness we see on so many clickpads.

Considering that it's powered by low-cost components, the Lenovo IdeaPad 100S offers really solid performance. By contrast, the Cloudbook 11 has a buttonless touchpad and supports gestures, but suffers from a lot of lag; pinch zooms occurred a second or more after we performed them. The Asus EeeBook X205TA's pad also supports gestures, but also performed erratically when we used them.

The GlobalSpace Technologies Solt consists of three distinct units: the tablet itself, a wraparound keyboard case, and a desktop dock. We've seen a number of companies use the keyboard case approach to position tablets as cheap laptops, and the resulting products, including the Micromax Laptab LT666 (Review), Swipe Ultimate Tab 3G (Review), Notion Ink Cain (Review) and Croma 1177 (Review), have all offered much the same in terms of hardware, experience, and value for money. Globalspace is going beyond that, with a few extra tricks. We're eager to try this "3-in-1" concept.

First, the tablet. It looks pretty much like every other low-cost 10-inch Windows tablet we've reviewed so far. The front is mostly unremarkable, with thick black borders, a capacitive Start button below the screen and a webcam above it. Our review unit came with a factory-fitted matte film for scratch protection. The rear has a matte finish as well. The primary camera is centered near the top, assuming a landscape orientation, and there are a few logos and some regulatory text which look like they might rub off with minimal effort. A flap in the upper right corner of the rear opens to reveal a slot for an optional 3G module.

There are contacts on the bottom for the keyboard dock and two small speaker grilles on the top. All the ports and controls are clustered around the left - there are two volume buttons on the left end of the top, while the side itself is host to the power button and LED, a 3.5mm audio jack, a Mini-HDMI port, a microSD card slot, one Micro-USB port (which works as a USB host with the included OTG adapter), a full-sized USB 3.0 port, and the DC power inlet. There's also a little mic hole right at the bottom.

The keyboard case is also now pretty standard. The keyboard itself is a solid plastic unit, attached to a bit of stiff fabric that can fold around the tablet to protect it. You have to pinch the cover into a stand, and it will stay in place with magnets. It's a very clever idea, but it doesn't allow you to adjust the angle of the screen, and it simply doesn't let you use the device on your lap.

The Ideapad 100S stayed cool at most touch points. After streaming a video for 15 minutes, the touchpad and keyboard reached a reasonable 90 and 89.5 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively, which is below our 95-degree comfort threshold. However, the bottom reached a full 103.5 degrees after streaming.
