Sony Vaio Y series (VPCYB2M1E) hands-on

The 11.6-inch Sony Vaio VPCYB2M1E looks set to offer decent components, fair battery life and a charmingly slim chassis. As netbooks go, it might justify a little drool. Read more

Sony Vaio M series (VPCM13M1E) review

The Sony Vaio VPCM13M1E is a decent all-rounder, but it lacks some of the features that we've come to expect from netbooks in the £300 price bracket. Read more

Acer Aspire One Happy review

The Acer Aspire One Happy is a decent netbook, but it's only the range of colour options you can buy it in that sets it apart from the competition. Read more

MSI Wind U135DX review

Apart from an uninspiring design, there's not much wrong with the MSI Wind U135DX. But it just doesn't do anything that makes it stand out from the crowd of competing netbooks. Read more

Eee PC 1008P Seashell (Karim Rashid Collection) review

The 10.1-inch Eee PC 1008P Seashell Karim Rashid netbook doesn't offer the best performance or battery life we've ever seen, but that's not really the point of this model. If you want a netbook that stands out from the crowd visually, this machine will probably be right up your catwalk Read more

Sony Vaio M series (VPCM12M1E/P) review

The 10.1-inch Vaio M-series VPCM12M1E/P is a decent netbook. It doesn't break any new ground when it comes to performance or battery life, but it packs some impressive hardware, including a bright and clear screen, and a comfortable keyboard Read more

Sony Vaio Mini W series (VPCW11S1E) review

The 10.1-inch Vaio Mini W series VPCW11S1E offers typical netbook performance for a relatively lofty price. But it also offers the excellent construction and design that's typical of Sony, as well as a 1,366x768-pixel, high-definition display. Overall, it's an attractive package Read more

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 review

The 10.2-inch IdeaPad S10-2 netbook is a worthwhile update to the popular S10. Although Lenovo's jettisoned the ExpressCard slot, the S10-2 sports a pleasingly slim design, decent keyboard and performance, and very good battery life, making it a respectable netbook overall Read more

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 review

The 10-inch Inspiron Mini 10 isn't as slim as some netbooks and its trackpad isn't much cop, but it compensates with an excellent keyboard and a great high-resolution display. It also delivers relatively speedy performance and is available in a number of eye-catching designs Read more
