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.

Samsung RV510 review
The 15.6-inch Samsung RV510 certainly has its good points, including an excellent keyboard and vibrant screen, but its sluggish processor means it's outclassed by similarly priced rivals. Read more

eMachines G420 review
The eMachines G420 offers a large, 17.1-inch screen for very little outlay, but the laptop's 1GB of RAM limits its multitasking capabilities. Read more
