Asus K50C-SX009V review

The 15.6-inch Asus K50C-SX009V laptop may have a low asking price, but it only delivers netbook levels of performance. Read more

Acer Aspire 5741 review

It lacks gaming prowess, but the 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5471's good looks, impressive performance and long battery life make it a worthwhile budget buy. Read more

eMachines G420 review

The eMachines G420 offers a large, 17.1-inch screen for very little outlay, but the laptop's 1GB of RAM limits its multitasking capabilities. Read more

Samsung R730 review

The 17.3-inch R730 desktop-replacement laptop is big, red and cheap -- and we like it. You won't get mind-melting performance from it, but it's an attractive and dependable day-to-day machine that will serve well for both business and pleasure purposes Read more

Samsung N150 review

One of the first netbooks to use the next-gen Atom N450 CPU, the 10-inch N150 offers fantastic battery life. Combined with its reflection-resistant matte screen, this makes it a good choice for road barbarians, even if it doesn't offer a massive performance improvement over preceding netbooks Read more

MSI CX600 review

The 16-inch CX600 offers superb value for money, with a nippy processor, a gaming-capable graphics card and plenty of memory. It's not particularly attractive and its lack of an HDMI output is a real shame, but, at this price, this machine is very difficult to ignore Read more

Advent Verona review

Advent Verona review

The thin-and-light Verona laptop has an ultra-low-voltage processor, a 13.3-inch screen and a decidedly budget price tag. As such, you can't expect top-notch performance, but, if you need a lightweight machine for Office-type tasks, it may well fit the bill. It's fairly attractive too Read more

Advent Roma 3000 review

The 15.6-inch Roma 3000 sports a particularly good keyboard, and its capable dual-core processor makes it much better suited to multi-tasking than the cheaper Roma 1000. Its battery life is disappointing and we'd prefer it to run the 64-bit version of Windows 7, but it's a solid budget laptop overall Read more

Advent Roma 1000 review

The 15.6-inch Roma 1000 is one of the cheapest Windows 7 laptops that money can currently buy. Considering its low price, it's also tastefully designed, and its keyboard is particularly good. Capable of handling most productivity tasks, it's worth a look for bargain hunters Read more

Editors' choice Acer Ferrari One review

Editors:

Acer Ferrari One review

There's no denying that the Ferrari One is the best netbook so far, offering a larger-than-usual, 11.6-inch screen, speedy performance, and a truly excellent keyboard. If you can live with a lid that may cause people to question the length of your reproductive appendage, you won't be disappointed Read more
