Sony Vaio M series (VPCM13M1E) review
The Sony Vaio VPCM13M1E is a decent all-rounder, but it lacks some of the features that we've come to expect from netbooks in the £300 price bracket. Read more

MSI Wind U135DX review
Apart from an uninspiring design, there's not much wrong with the MSI Wind U135DX. But it just doesn't do anything that makes it stand out from the crowd of competing netbooks. Read more

Acer Aspire One Pro 531 review
It may be specifically aimed at business users, but the 10.1-inch Aspire One Pro 531 runs with the netbook pack when it comes to its specification. Its extra-long battery life is a definite plus point though, and its no-nonsense design will undoubtedly appeal to some Read more

Sony Vaio Mini W series (VPCW11S1E) review
The 10.1-inch Vaio Mini W series VPCW11S1E offers typical netbook performance for a relatively lofty price. But it also offers the excellent construction and design that's typical of Sony, as well as a 1,366x768-pixel, high-definition display. Overall, it's an attractive package Read more

Elonex ONEt+ review
With a rock-bottom price tag and plasticky design, we were all set to hate the 7-inch, Debian Linux-based ONEt+ netbook. But we couldn't. Surprisingly responsive, and very small and light, it's a great choice for children and undemanding adults seeking a straightforward ultra-portable Read more

Elonex Websurfer review
The Websurfer won't make a satisfactory main computer, but it's a good choice if you're after a lightweight and inexpensive netbook for Web surfing and basic productivity tasks. At this price, the solid build quality and integrated VoIP phone are welcome bonuses Read more

Packard Bell EasyNote XS review
With the Asus Eee PC 701 all the rage, Packard Bell has tried its hand at a low-cost, miniature laptop in the EasyNote XS. Sporting a larger hard drive than the Eee and a digital video output, this extra small laptop definitely has the gumption to play big Read more

Sony Vaio X series (VPCX11S1E/B) review
We defy anyone not to be impressed by the 11.1-inch Vaio VPCX11S1E/B ultra-portable laptop. It offers netbook-esque performance and it's ludicrously expensive, but it's remarkably thin and light, and Sony's made surprisingly few compromises considering how slender it is Read more

Lenovo IdeaPad S10e review
The 10-inch IdeaPad S10e doesn't really stand out from the netbook crowd, but it handles everyday tasks competently and boasts an attractive, understated finish. Its keyboard and battery life could be better, but the S10e is unusually compact and lightweight for a 10-inch netbook Read more

ViewSonic VNB101 review
The 10.1-inch VNB101 doesn't do a great deal to stand out from the netbook crowd, but it doesn't do anything particularly wrong either. This machine is cute and pretty cheap too, so, for those who want to enjoy low-cost computing on the move, it's worth a gander Read more
