the webcam, the wireless, speakers and headphone jacks. sleep is working and so is card reader. vga out is working too.

i am really happy with this choice and with the 6 cell battery i got off of ebay, it is going to last twice as long.

i like that netbook itself too, I have heard that it runs a little hotter than some of the others, but it does not seem to hot to me.

Does it support the native resolution or is it just 1024x768

I came to same conclusion, I got a white s10 put in 2gb ram and 320 hd, bought a mac box set 10.5.6 with iLife & iWork. I used the dellminiboot dellefi with 2 USB drives method. It was all too beautiful... 200gb iphoto & itunes organizing, candybar'd my icons & did a time machine back up... All too beautiful I tell ya... Until this morning, after a month of perfect use, no glich, everything fine, sound, sleep, wifi, display, a 75 sec or less boot time (faster than a mb air) it won't boot... Stuck an the grey apple screen. I've given up on saving my 200gb and went to do over, now the dellmini boot I used is saying disk error. Does anyone really know about command lines and such in boot -s, -v , -f to explain what's going on to me?
Btw the last thing I did was change the finder icon, reboot, worked fine, to save my work I did a timemachine back up. It said it had an hr (@1am), so I scheduled a shut down for 3am since I didn't want it to make hourly back ups all night.

What exact model of Lenovo are we talking about here? Do I get it right, that ethernet is NOT working? This would be a knock-out criteria for me...

did you install chameleon to the hdd to boot from there or do you boot from boot123-CD?

If the system (OS X) has come as far as running fine, it should be possible to boot it at least from the hdd, too, if one supplies the right kexts in the correct folder and gives it chameleon. I can't be more precise, since I don't have access to the hardware as of yet.

I have Leopard 10.5.5 running on my S10. I replaced the memory with 2gb and the harddrive to a 500gb scorpio blue. So far it is running amazing. I have a windows 7/leopard dual boot and have no issues. Very quick startup and excellent stability on both (although win7 isnt as good with multitasking as Leopard). Everything worked out of the box with Win7. Leopard I had to work with for a bit, but now the only thing I dont have is the mic. For some reason when i tried to install the fan drivers the first time it killed the install but that was the only real setback. I have now created a .iso dvd and a full restore disk on a usb drive with all the drivers/updates to get the full install working (minus the mic). I think thats the best thing to do while we wait out the next few months to make sure the patched .iso's are stable.

I see success stories but not even one guide-link, come on guys we've got one too help us out! :D

I broke it, cause the s10-2 model with 1gb ram has a mobo-prob and if you upgrade the firmware of the bios it becomes a solid brick... like thin paper ! :D

i went back to the shop and exchanged it with ao531h
