Samsung N140 review

Although the 10.1-inch N140 doesn't bring anything new to the netbook table, we can't knock it. Solidly built and attractively designed, its outstanding feature is its 10-hour battery life. Look no further if you want a reasonably priced netbook that can last all day away from the mains Read more

Samsung X120 review

The 11.6-inch X120 is our favourite ultra-portable laptop with an ultra-low-voltage processor so far. Its battery life isn't its strongest feature, but it's an ideal size, it has a well-judged specification, and its price tag is very tempting. Its low-key design is also very appealing Read more

Acer Aspire 5536 review

Proving that desktop-replacement laptops needn't be the size of a headstone, the 15.6-inch Aspire 5536 is a decent machine. Its trackpad is irritating and its speakers aren't much cop, but it offers a full-size, comfortable keyboard, bright screen and good looks for an affordable price Read more

Advent Milano review

The 10.2-inch Milano doesn't break any new netbook ground, but it's not without its charms either. It's cheap for one thing, although you wouldn't know that by looking at it, and its nearly full-size keyboard is comfortable to type on. Its matte display is also pleasing, appearing crisp and bright in all lighting conditions 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 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

Acer Aspire One Pro 531 review

It may be specifically aimed at business users, but the 10.1-inch Aspire One Pro 531 runs with the netbook pack when it comes to its specification. Its extra-long battery life is a definite plus point though, and its no-nonsense design will undoubtedly appeal to some 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

Acer Aspire 6530 review

The configuration of the 16-inch Acer Aspire 6530 desktop-replacement laptop that we tested, the 6530-623G25Mn, is a stylish beast. While its AMD processor can't quite match Intel's offerings, it's a good all-rounder nevertheless, and it comes at a reasonable price too Read more

Toshiba Satellite L350 review

The 17-inch laptops in Toshiba's Satellite L350 series are a decent choice if you lack the space for a desktop PC. They're not particularly attractive or suited to gaming, but, considering their price, they make precious few compromises when it comes to usability Read more
