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

Fujitsu Lifebook P7010 review
For such a light, compact laptop, the Lifebook certainly punches above its weight, handling office and video-editing tasks with aplomb. Its real strength, though, is its battery life -- by swapping the DVD drive for an additional battery, the Lifebook can keep going for an astonishing ten hours Read more

Sony Vaio X series (VPCX11S1E/B) review
We defy anyone not to be impressed by the 11.1-inch Vaio VPCX11S1E/B ultra-portable laptop. It offers netbook-esque performance and it's ludicrously expensive, but it's remarkably thin and light, and Sony's made surprisingly few compromises considering how slender it is Read more

Sony Vaio M series (VPCM12M1E/P) review
The 10.1-inch Vaio M-series VPCM12M1E/P is a decent netbook. It doesn't break any new ground when it comes to performance or battery life, but it packs some impressive hardware, including a bright and clear screen, and a comfortable keyboard Read more

Eee PC T91 review
The 8.9-inch Eee PC T91 stands out from the netbook crowd by offering a rotating touchscreen that allows it to function in tablet PC mode. Its performance won't melt your brain, but it's extremely portable, sports very good wireless connectivity and offers impressive battery life Read more

OQO model e2 review
The OQO model e2 sports several enhancements over its predecessor, the ultra mobile PC-style device OQO model 2. With its screen sliding upwards to reveal a Qwerty keyboard and a trackpoint-style mouse nipple, it's great for on-the-go use. An upgraded processor means better performance, too 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

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

Asus Eee PC Lamborghini VX6 review
The Asus Eee PC Lamborghini VX6 might resemble its supercar namesake, but sadly it's not got as much oomph. It's faster than most netbooks, but as it costs as much as a normal laptop, it's hard to recommend splashing out. 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
