Asus U2E review
Like its predecessor, the Asus U2E is unashamedly sexy -- it's finished in leather, after all. Available in black or mocha brown, this ultraportable is updated with a built-in DVD rewriter and plenty of memory. It also boasts a fingerprint reader to keep your documents safe Read more

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. With a solid state hard drive and operating a Linux-based graphical user interface, it's the definition of an ultraportable Read more

Toshiba NB250 review
The 10.1-inch NB250 is a mighty fine netbook, even if it doesn't break any new ground. Its keyboard and trackpad are comfortable to use, its display is pleasingly bright, and it looks cute.

ViewSonic VNB101 review
The 10.1-inch VNB101 doesn't do a great deal to stand out from the netbook crowd, but it doesn't do anything particularly wrong either. This machine is cute and pretty cheap too, so, for those who want to enjoy low-cost computing on the move, it's worth a gander Read more

Nokia Booklet 3G review
Despite Nokia arriving at the netbook shindig a few years late, the 10.1-inch Booklet 3G is an impressive machine. Its performance is par for the netbook course, but its high-res screen, built-in 3G modem and excellent battery life make it a tempting, if expensive, proposition Read more

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

Packard Bell dot m/a review
Thanks to its large, high-resolution, 11.6-inch screen and excellent keyboard, the dot m/a netbook would make a good choice for those seeking a portable machine on which to type lengthy documents. It's also interesting purely because it packs an AMD CPU rather than the ubiquitous Intel Atom Read more

Advent 4211 review
The Advent 4211 is a less-expensive, re-badged alternative to the MSI Wind. It has the same core specification, so any differences between the two are merely cosmetic. If you want to jump on the netbook bandwagon, this is a fantastic starting point Read more
