MSI Wind review

With the huge success of Asus' Eee PC, the mini laptop market is suddenly crowded with imitators, but MSI's effort could well be one of the best so far. It looks gorgeous, it comes with Windows XP or Linux, plus it's very affordable and it's amazingly well-specced 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

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

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 1008P Seashell (Karim Rashid Collection) review

The 10.1-inch Eee PC 1008P Seashell Karim Rashid netbook doesn't offer the best performance or battery life we've ever seen, but that's not really the point of this model. If you want a netbook that stands out from the crowd visually, this machine will probably be right up your catwalk Read more

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

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC review

It was only a matter of time before the major laptop makers jumped on the Eee PC's low-price, diminutive bandwagon. Like the Eee, the HP 2133 is small, portable and affordable, but it has the bonus of being easy to use. It's underpowered, but the great keyboard makes it perfect for Web access Read more

Toshiba NB250 review

The 10.1-inch NB250 is a mighty fine netbook, even if it doesn't break any new ground. Its keyboard and trackpad are comfortable to use, its display is pleasingly bright, and it looks cute. For people on the move in need of a machine to handle light computing tasks, it will be worth a look Read more

MSI Wind U135 review

The 10-inch Wind U135 netbook doesn't disappoint. Its next-generation Intel Atom N450 processor doesn't deliver significantly better performance than older Atoms, but it does contribute to this machine's lengthy battery life. Together with the comfortable keyboard, it all adds up to a solid package Read more

Dell Inspiron 9400 review

The 9400 sports a large, 17-inch widescreen display, uses the Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system, and has enough input/output ports to put many desktop PCs to shame. It's not much cop when it comes to games (there's no dedicated graphics card) but its battery life is fantastic -- nearly 4 hours Read more
