RM Asus miniBook review
The RM Asus miniBook is one of the smallest laptops on the market. It's small enough to be mistaken for a hardback book, but despite its dimensions, it doesn't sacrifice performance.

Packard Bell EasyNote XS review
With the Asus Eee PC 701 all the rage, Packard Bell has tried its hand at a low-cost, miniature laptop in the EasyNote XS. Sporting a larger hard drive than the Eee and a digital video output, this extra small laptop definitely has the gumption to play big Read more

Elonex Websurfer review
The Websurfer won't make a satisfactory main computer, but it's a good choice if you're after a lightweight and inexpensive netbook for Web surfing and basic productivity tasks. At this price, the solid build quality and integrated VoIP phone are welcome bonuses Read more

Sony Vaio P-series Lifestyle PC review
The Vaio P-series Lifestyle PC is elegantly designed and one of the smallest laptops we've seen, standing out from the netbook crowd with an impressive array of features. It also has a large keyboard and high-res screen, but its usability suffers from the lack of a standard touch pad Read more
