Typical price: £279
What is it: Mini laptop with 10.1-inch screen
What we think: This is a less expensive version of the MSI Wind and that's a good thing. It's fast, it's portable and something we recommend highly

CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Advent 4211 is almost identical to the MSI Wind. It uses the same chassis and has the same specification, but is significantly cheaper. If you're after an affordable netbook, this is definitely worth considering
