Dell Mini 10 (1012) review

Highly customisable, but with a more powerful processor nestled inside than previous Mini 10s, the 1012 wants to sit in your backpack and be your new best friend. Does its high-resolution 10-inch display and meaty six-cell battery warrant the premium over cheaper netbooks? Read more

Acer Aspire One D260 (D260-2Dkk) review

The 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One D260-2Dkk isn't particularly revolutionary, but it doesn't do anything wrong, either. It's a comfortable, lightweight netbook with a slender design and decent battery life. Read more

HP Mini 210-2003sa review

The HP Mini 210 might look futuristic, but beneath the shiny exterior lies a netbook that provides no more than ordinary performance. It also has its fair share of design flaws, including a badly laid-out trackpad and a truly baffling power port. Read more

Acer Aspire One 521 review

The Acer Aspire One 521 has an unconventional CPU, but it doesn't give this netbook an edge over its rivals in terms of performance. Nevertheless, it's a well designed machine. 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 522 review

The Acer Aspire One 522 is a decent netbook that offers good looks and a great display. It's a shame it's not powerful enough to play hi-def video, though, and its battery life isn't very impressive. Read more

MSI U270 review

The MSI U270 is more expensive than most netbooks, but it offers improved performance thanks to a dual-core processor. The trackpad isn't too comfy, but otherwise this a decent netbook. Read more

MSI Wind U160 review

The 10-inch Wind U160 offers typical netbook performance, but it's a well-built and attractively designed machine that's easy to use. Its keyboard is comfortable, its trackpad is better than most, and the gold coating on our review sample lends it a classy look Read more

Dell Inspiron Duo hands-on

The Dell Inspiron Duo is part netbook and part tablet. Its design is innovative, but we'll have to wait and see whether it's actually as good as either a dedicated netbook or tablet. Read more

Samsung N220 review

The Samsung N220 isn't a hugely ambitious netbook, but it looks good, offers excellent battery life and is highly usable. We like it Read more
