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

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

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
