Eee PC 1101HA review
The Eee PC 1101HA, Asus' first 11-inch hyper-portable, challenges traditional netbook perceptions with a large screen and an equally sizeable keyboard, though its low price is more familiar. The extra inch on the screen means higher resolution and more screen real estate, and its battery life is nothing short of prodigious Read more

Acer Aspire One 521 review
The Acer Aspire One 521 has an unconventional CPU, but it doesn't give this netbook an edge over its rivals in terms of performance. Nevertheless, it's a well designed machine. Read more

Packard Bell dot m/a review
Thanks to its large, high-resolution, 11.6-inch screen and excellent keyboard, the dot m/a netbook would make a good choice for those seeking a portable machine on which to type lengthy documents. It's also interesting purely because it packs an AMD CPU rather than the ubiquitous Intel Atom Read more

Packard Bell Dot S review
The Packard Bell Dot S gives a fair performance and packs a meaty battery, but it's let down by an unimpressive screen and an awkward keyboard. Read more

Lenovo IdeaPad S10 review
The IdeaPad S10 Netbook is Lenovo's 'me too' entry into the netbook sweepstakes. The unit available in the UK offers 512MB RAM and an 80GB hard drive for £320, with upgrades yet to come, though we've reviewed a slightly different model. The price is right and we're pleased with the features, but battery life didn't impress Read more

Samsung N310 review
Following the standard netbook template in terms of its specs and performance, the 10-inch N310 manages to stand out from the crowd with a distinctive and appealing design. It also benefits from a top-class display and a great keyboard and trackpad, making for a good all-round machine Read more

Samsung NB30 review
Its rugged exterior won't appeal to everyone, but the Samsung NB30 is a tough little netbook with a decent, 10.1-inch screen and sizeable keyboard. Read more

Intel Classmate PC review
Aimed at students in developing countries, the Intel Classmate PC is an intriguing attempt at a low-cost laptop. It might look like a toy, but it has a rugged design to survive drops. For consumers, its technologies will hopefully lead to cheaper, smaller laptops 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

Toshiba Libretto U100 review
Toshiba's Libretto U100 is amazingly tiny. It's wee. It's petite. It's the most miniscule PC we've ever seen. But is it too small? The keyboard is so ickle it makes typing a chore, and the XVGA resolution on the 7.2-inch screen makes icons hard to see. Plus, it's very expensive -- but that doesn't stop it being full of gadgety wonder Read more
