Asus Eee PC 1000HE review

The attractive, 10-inch Eee PC 1000HE is the best netbook yet for frequent travellers, thanks to the most impressive battery life we've seen on any laptop. Benefiting from an excellent keyboard, the 1000HE is also a commendable performer, although integrated 3G would have made it even better Read more

Asus N10 review

We're quite smitten with the Asus N10. This ultraportable features an Nvidia GeForce 9300M graphics card and a healthy 2GB of RAM, as well as ample storage capacity. Yet the N10's size and price seem to indicate that it is in fact a netbook. Can this be? Read our review to see how the Asus N10 makes fusion magic Read more

Eee PC 1008HA Seashell review

Such is the beauty of the Eee PC 1008HA Seashell that it makes other netbooks look like they were cobbled together by blind goat herders. One of the thinnest and lightest netbooks on the market, it also boasts a truly excellent keyboard. We wish the battery was user-replaceable though Read more

Asus Eee PC 701 review

The Asus Eee PC 701 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

Advent 4213 review

The 4213 is an admirable second stab at the netbook format by Advent. There's not a great deal of difference between the 4213 and the rest of the netbook pack, but decent storage and battery life, a 10-inch screen and integrated 3G Web access mean this netbook can more than hold its own Read more

Eee PC 1005HA Seashell review

Its performance is typical of a netbook, but Asus has found other ways to make the Eee PC 1005HA Seashell stand out from the crowd. While the 1005HA sports a good keyboard and an appealing design, the real star of the show is its fantastic battery life Read more

Eee PC 1005P review

The Eee PC 1005P is almost identical to the Eee PC 1005PE, but has a smaller hard drive and costs slightly less. Its next-generation Intel Atom N450 CPU doesn't provide a big performance improvement over its netbook predecessors, but its battery life is corking and it looks good too Read more

Samsung N120 review

Alongside the slightly smaller N110, the Samsung N120 is one of two successors to the highly rated NC10. It promises better usability, better battery life, enhanced sound capabilities and a user experience that belies its netbook heritage Read more

Asus Eee PC S101 review

This 10-inch netbook is the best-looking thing we've ever seen, with its luxuriously glossy brown lid. The current Windows XP version will ship with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU and 1GB of DDR2 667MHz RAM -- the staple underpinnings of most netbooks. At £449, it's not cheap, but then again it doesn't look it, either 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
