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

Feeling guilty cos i'm on it instead of laptop or desktop
Review:
This was a spur of the moment purchase in Comet for my other half who likes to surf in the evenings (on his desktop in another room) - I had suggested that a netbook would be great as he could sit and ebay / facebook etc with me in the same room. So, after a false start at PC World (the only one in stock with a decent spec was Pink) - we bought one of these literally from reading the spec ticket in the shop and knowing that we wanted XP in about 2 minutes.
I can honesly say it was the best impulse purchase ever. I am sure we would have been delighted with a lower end netbook but this one is surely the best.
Its more reliable (we've never crashed it and it takes a solid battering from us all most days) than my laptop. Its just as fast as our all singing desktop. You can truly walk around with it without it being too small to work on / look at or too big to wonder where to put it like a laptop.
Thats enough - we think its great - in fact now I want one all for myself !

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
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
