Samsung NC20 review
Unlike the majority of its Intel Atom-based rivals, the 12.1-inch NC20 netbook is based on a Via Nano CPU and offers significantly better performance as a result. It also has excellent battery life, although its high-resolution screen is too reflective for our liking. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic netbook Read more

Acer Ferrari One review
There's no denying that the Ferrari One is the best netbook so far, offering a larger-than-usual, 11.6-inch screen, speedy performance, and a truly excellent keyboard. If you can live with a lid that may cause people to question the length of your reproductive appendage, you won't be disappointed Read more

The 15.6-inch Lenovo Essential G570's boring design could instantly send the most wired of coffee addicts to sleep, but this laptop does pack a powerful punch for a very reasonable price. Read more

HP Mini 1000 review
Hewlett-Packard may be arriving late to the netbook scene with its Mini 1000, but the reasonably priced, lightweight netbook looks to be a serious contender. It has a thinner body than its predecessor, the 2133 Mini-Note, but retains the large, comfortable keyboard. Also, Intel's 1.6GHz Atom CPU offers good computing power Read more

Advent 9112 review
You'd usually pay a premium to get a thin-and-light laptop, but not with Advent's tiny 9112. This laptop doesn't cut corners when it comes to performance -- it's powerful enough to use for office and Web applications, but still small enough to carry around with you Read more

HP 530 review
At a bargain price, you get more than you're paying for with the HP 530. The budget machine performs well and looks twice as expensive than it actually is. Added to this, it has a 15.4-inch widescreen display and built-in Wi-Fi and is perfect for anyone with more modest computing aspirations Read more

Acer Aspire One 751 review
It may not be the speediest performer in the netbook arena, but the Aspire One 751 has plenty of other things going for it, including its stunning high-resolution, 11.6-inch screen and beautifully slim design. The excellent keyboard and trackpad are the icing on the cake Read more
