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

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

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

Archos 10 review

The portable-media-player specialist's first netbook, the Archos 10, is a relatively attractive device with a fairly standard set of internal components. The 10-inch display's matte finish means it's equally usable indoors and out, and we appreciate the pre-installed antivirus software, but this netbook falls short in other areas Read more

Lenovo IdeaPad S10e review

The 10-inch IdeaPad S10e doesn't really stand out from the netbook crowd, but it handles everyday tasks competently and boasts an attractive, understated finish. Its keyboard and battery life could be better, but the S10e is unusually compact and lightweight for a 10-inch netbook 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

Samsung N210 Plus review

Despite its name, the 10-inch Samsung N210 Plus is less of an update and more of a downgrade. Its inferior battery life means it's not as good a buy as the previous N210 netbook. Read more

Samsung N350 review

The 10.1-inch Samsung N350 is highly portable, but its dual-core processor fails to deliver much of a performance boost over single-core netbooks. As such, it's hard to justify its higher price tag. 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

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
