MSI Wind U160 review
The 10-inch Wind U160 offers typical netbook performance, but it's a well-built and attractively designed machine that's easy to use. Its keyboard is comfortable, its trackpad is better than most, and the gold coating on our review sample lends it a classy look 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

Acer Aspire One D250 review
The 10.1-inch Aspire One D250 netbook fixes some of the most serious flaws of its predecessor, the D150 -- the touchpad buttons are greatly improved and it sports a thinner, lighter design. While there's nothing ground-breaking on offer here, it's a respectable netbook nonetheless 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

MSI Wind U115 Hybrid review
In a crowded market, the Wind U115 Hybrid netbook stands out thanks to its dual solid-state and hard disk drives, which result in amazing battery life, and a graphics chip that can help speed up high-definition video decoding. It also boasts an impressive screen and a good keyboard 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

Acer Aspire One D250 Android review
The 10.1-inch Aspire One D250 Android is a netbook with a difference. It not only has Windows XP installed but also Android, which allows you to quickly boot the system for access to rudimentary apps, such as a Web browser. Its battery life is good, and it's an attractive machine too 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

HP Mini 210-1156sa review
It does nothing to separate itself from the rest of the 10.1-inch netbook herd, but the HP Mini 210-1156sa is still a well-designed machine. Shame about the iffy battery life, though. Read more

HP Mini 110 review
The 10.1-inch Mini 110 is the less expensive successor to one of our favourite netbooks, the Mini 1000. It's slightly thicker and heavier than its sibling, but it offers the same performance, more ports and connections, and a hard-to-find matte display. Overall, it's a thoroughly respectable machine Read more
