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

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

Eee PC 1000 review
You can't go a day without seeing another Eee. This time, the 10.2-inch Eee PC 1000 appears on the mini laptop scene and it's a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move Read more

Asus U1 review
It's tiny, it's shiny, it's got leather, it's got Vista -- what's not to love? The Asus U1 offers Core Duo performance in a petite package, along with a lovely 11-inch screen, an insignificant 1kg weight and the brand-new Windows OS. Graphics aren't a speciality though, and it is pricey 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

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

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

Acer Aspire One review
The Acer Aspire One arrives fashionably late to the mini laptop party, but it sashays in with flair. Available in either Linux or Windows XP versions, the One is attractive, lightweight and offers great performance for a low price. Does it spoil the netbook night for the Eee PC? Read more

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

Samsung NC10 review
In a crowded netbook market, the 10-inch NC10 manages to stand out, thanks to impressive performance, good battery life, an excellent keyboard, and a fantastic, attractive design. We'd like to see high-speed Wi-Fi and 3G capability, but this is definitely not a netbook to be sniffed at Read more
