Typical price: £219
What is it: Tiny, super-affordable laptop
What we think: The Eee PC is stonking value for money, but its small size and cramped keyboard make it occasionally difficult to use

| Review summary | There's no two ways about it -- the Asus Eee PC 701 is a great laptop. It's affordable, sexy and highly portable. If you're looking for a cheap second PC that can fit into a small bag, then there are few better options Read full review |
The D420's reliable performance, battery life and ability to get online at broadband speeds, with or without a Wi-Fi hotspot, make it one of the best ultra-portable laptops we've ever seen Read full review |
Ridiculously pricey, but the VGNTZ11XN/B.CEK is a stunning example of what an ultra-portable laptop should be. It has good battery life, it's highly portable and it's packed with features Read full review |

Samsung R520
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
Toshiba Satellite A500
Despite its low-resolution screen, it's a very good all-rounder at a decent price
