Performance is determined by the laptop platform Intel Atom. In principle, it is sufficient for the office work, you can even watch a movie. Atom will not be able to adequately reproduce the high-definition video. From ultraportable notebook that is not required, but then hangs in the air a bit HDMI. Do not load it serious mathematical calculations.
Main information provided by the utility GPU-Z.
LRA standard platform with Intel Atom processor N270, with a maximum frequency of 1.6 GHz. At rest, the processor reduces the frequency to 800 MHz.
We turn to the results of tests. To begin with, as usual, look at the overall system performance, as measured by test packages PCMark and 3DMark.
In PCMark05 the overall result - 1474, the result of the processor - 1483, memory - 2354, graphics - 545, hard drive - 3647.
We tested the Lenovo S9 and the program Cinebench. It is clear that the rendering - a few is not an area that is focused on this class of devices, but some comparative figures this will give us.

For comparison, we took the results of Eee PC. As we see, the CPU performance is the same (although Lenovo everywhere a little faster, losing only in the graph).
The level of mathematical processor performance we measured with the help of utilities SuperPi and wPrime. They count the number Pi to a certain degree of approximation (for SuperPi, for example, is 1 000 000 characters), the difference is that SuperPi single-threaded. Results of calculations SuperPi was 1 in 33,781 m, wPrime - 125.406 pp.
Results of tests of memory from the same utility.
Finally, it is interesting to look at the speed of the hard disk.
The disc provides a medium level of performance.
Battery life
When testing battery life all the power management settings of the operating system is installed by default brand of energy saving has been removed. Tests were conducted at maximum savings batteries (mode Readers test) and in the "maximum load" (regime Classic Battery Eater) in the OS Windows XP Home SP3. System shuts down itself at 5% battery remaining. All wireless interfaces in the test have been disabled. Battery capacity, according to the test amounted to 27750 mWh (fully charged on a test laptop 25452 mWh).

Results are predictable, but can not say that good. Under the maximum load a laptop was able to work out only 1 hour 37 minutes. And at a maximum cost laptop can run for just over two and a half hours.
Impressions from the use of
Keyboard
Keyboard pleasant, after some getting used to it quite possible to print the blind method. To run the key claims did not arise.
In smaller buildings netbooks enough space to accommodate full-size keyboard, so you have to sacrifice either the size or location of certain keys. In the Lenovo S9 uzhata left side of the keyboard, cut the size of keys is reduced by the tab key, key "~" and moved higher after the button is Esc, as a result of habit obtained blunder in one key, but you get used to it.
Inconvenient to use the touchpad. First, it is very small, transfer the cursor inconvenient. Secondly, the keys are narrow and very hard pressed. Yet it seemed to us that he has not been the best sensitivity.
There are two additional keys, management of wireless communication and the challenge system backup / restore.
Screen and sound
In the Lenovo S9 netbook set the standard widescreen panel with LED backlight, the physical size of 8.9 "and resolution 1024h600. The matrix has an average viewing angles, and to the same glossy. Matrix glare, it is therefore difficult to use netbook in the room, especially in the open air. Above the matrix set the camera for video conferencing with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels, which can take pictures with a resolution of 640x480 pixels.
The sound from our netbook pretty good, compared with devices of this class, it has sufficient volume for viewing movies in a noisy place. The speakers are located in the front end and look directly at the user. Although the frequency response is very narrow, and largely dominated by high frequencies.
Heating body
In the process of netbook never warmed up so much, but, apparently, because of BIOS settings, the fan worked with enviable frequency and noise. Let us hope that the manufacturer will fix this flaw in future firmware. Housing heats up when working with the left side, but not so much to him was uncomfortable to work.

Pre -
In netbook Lenovo has the same programs as large notebooks at Lenovo, - One Key Recovery and Energycut. Energycut key toggles power in one-touch, allowing you to adjust the performance of the notebook. It preinstalled on 4 different power saving modes, which control the parameters of productivity and time-off components during inactivity. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the system can manage and the frequency of the processor, ie it will work, depending on the regime, at 800, 1300 and 1600 MHz.
One Key Recovery provides recovery of the operating system from the hidden partition the hard disk. Restore the original factory settings from the hard drive is convenient, because there is no built-in optical drive, but the road is not very convenient to revive the system using USB-drive and drive. Even in this software package includes antivirus and data backup.
Positioning
This netbook, depending on the coloring, can come for the younger audience (both male and female), and for business people. Design Lenovo S9 fairly discreet, but stylish, so in combination with the matt black body will work well in a business suit, with white - can be successfully adapted to the home environment (eg the kitchen), combined with the bright colors will be perfect for stylish bright young people and pink, no doubt, will attract blondes.
Conclusion
This device, we loved it. Due to the small size and weight, availability of port Expresscard and very useful pre-installed software. In addition, a handsome, looks original, and you can find a suitable color. For some buyers biggest weakness can become a high level of noise or low battery life (although the order is available long battery life, however, difficult to say whether it is in Russia). Prices for netbooks, Lenovo, in general, are at the level of prices of competitors.
