A review of the Packard Bell dot S2 netbook has been posted over at IT Reviews. 'Available in white, black or ruby red, the case is good looking, though a bit thicker than its predecessor, the Dot S, due to having its 4.8AH battery bulge projecting from its underside. Sockets down left- and right-hand sides offer the near standard 3 x USB, Ethernet, VGA, audio and SD card sockets and the machine supports WiFi, though only 802.11b/g, rather than n. Bluetooth is an option, as is a second 1GB of memory to add to the 1GB supplied. The keyboard is described as 'chiclet', a less than helpful term, which means the keys each project through a common baseplate, rather than having gaps.'

Trusted Reviews have published a review of the Packard Bell Dot S2 - 10.1in netbook. 'On to the Dot S2 itself, when closed it looks much like any other netbook. The subtle silver wave pattern on our white model's glossy lid is attractive, though it fails to hide fingerprints, and the tapered edges make it look relatively slim. It will also be available in 'Cherry' Red and 'NightSky' Black. Unfortunately the interior is less appealing than the previous Dot S, thanks mainly to the battery bulge around the hinges and the silver finish that clashes somewhat with the otherwise white machine. On the other hand the netbook does have a few stylish touches, such as the power button to the left of the hinge which features a blue-backlit spiral pattern.'
