What we think: A little large for a 10-inch netbook, but it's a great example nonetheless

We like:
Excellent battery life; large keyboard
We don't like:
Keyboard lacks feel; no high-speed Wi-Fi or 3G; 'subwoofer' is a joke
CNET UK judgement:
The N120 is larger and slightly more unwieldy than the NC10, but it has a larger keyboard and better battery life. The keyboard could be improved slightly, and we're not big fans of the glossy screen, but on the whole, it's a very good machine. Just don't buy into the 'subwoofer' hype

Alongside the slightly smaller N110, this model is one of two successors to the highly rated NC10. It promises better usability, better battery life, enhanced sound capabilities and a user experience that belies its netbook heritage. It's available to buy now for around £370. Continue Reading...

Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards

Despite its low-resolution screen, it's a very good all-rounder at a decent price
