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

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 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

Eee PC 901 review

The Eee PC 901 is the latest iteration of Asus' mini laptop series and it's faster and better than its predecessor. Coming in Linux or Windows XP versions, it now boasts Intel's Atom N270 CPU, made especially for mini laptops to improve performance and battery life 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

Toshiba NB100 review

The 8.9-inch NB100's internal components are fairly standard for a netbook, but it boasts a professional-looking design and a screen that benefits from Toshiba's TruBrite technology, offering richer and more vivid colours than competitors. While the keyboard is cramped, battery life is impressive Read more

Samsung N150 review

One of the first netbooks to use the next-gen Atom N450 CPU, the 10-inch N150 offers fantastic battery life. Combined with its reflection-resistant matte screen, this makes it a good choice for road barbarians, even if it doesn't offer a massive performance improvement over preceding netbooks Read more

Lenovo IdeaPad S12 review

With a great full-size keyboard and bright, crisp 12-inch screen, the IdeaPad S12 combines the look and feel of a laptop with the performance and price of a netbook. We'd like to see it sporting a more powerful processor but it offers a good compromise between the two categories Read more

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 review

Dell pushes the netbook envelope to the limit with the Mini 12, a 12-inch ultraportable laptop that uses low-power components and open-source software to reduce costs. It's thin, light and simple, but it's underpowered and could do with a better battery Read more
