10-11in Laptops

Advent Milano

The 10.2-inch Milano doesn't break any new netbook ground, but it's not without its charms either. It's cheap for one thing, although you wouldn't know that by looking at it, and its nearly full-size keyboard is comfortable to type on. Its matte display is also pleasing, appearing crisp and bright in all lighting conditions

Acer Aspire One D250 Android

The 10.1-inch Aspire One D250 Android is a netbook with a difference. It not only has Windows XP installed but also Android, which allows you to quickly boot the system for access to rudimentary apps, such as a Web browser. Its battery life is good, and it's an attractive machine too

Acer Aspire One Pro 531

It may be specifically aimed at business users, but the 10.1-inch Aspire One Pro 531 runs with the netbook pack when it comes to its specification. Its extra-long battery life is a definite plus point though, and its no-nonsense design will undoubtedly appeal to some

Samsung X120

The 11.6-inch X120 is our favourite ultra-portable laptop with an ultra-low-voltage processor so far. Its battery life isn't its strongest feature, but it's an ideal size, it has a well-judged specification, and its price tag is very tempting. Its low-key design is also very appealing

Dell Inspiron 11z

The mid-range Inspiron 11z ultra-portable laptop that we were given to review proved a capable machine. Its trackpad was poor, but its ultra-low-voltage processor delivered better performance than that of more expensive ULV laptops, and its 11.6-inch screen was great

ViewSonic VNB101

The 10.1-inch VNB101 doesn't do a great deal to stand out from the netbook crowd, but it doesn't do anything particularly wrong either. This machine is cute and pretty cheap too, so, for those who want to enjoy low-cost computing on the move, it's worth a gander

Sony Vaio X series (VPCX11S1E/B)

We defy anyone not to be impressed by the 11.1-inch Vaio VPCX11S1E/B ultra-portable laptop. It offers netbook-esque performance and it's ludicrously expensive, but it's remarkably thin and light, and Sony's made surprisingly few compromises considering how slender it is

Editor's rating 6.5

Samsung N140

Although the 10.1-inch N140 doesn't bring anything new to the netbook table, we can't knock it. Solidly built and attractively designed, its outstanding feature is its 10-hour battery life. Look no further if you want a reasonably priced netbook that can last all day away from the mains

Acer Ferrari One

There's no denying that the Ferrari One is the best netbook so far, offering a larger-than-usual, 11.6-inch screen, speedy performance, and a truly excellent keyboard. If you can live with a lid that may cause people to question the length of your reproductive appendage, you won't be disappointed

Sony Vaio Mini W series (VPCW11S1E)

The 10.1-inch Vaio Mini W series VPCW11S1E offers typical netbook performance for a relatively lofty price. But it also offers the excellent construction and design that's typical of Sony, as well as a 1,366x768-pixel, high-definition display. Overall, it's an attractive package

Packard Bell dot m/a

Thanks to its large, high-resolution, 11.6-inch screen and excellent keyboard, the dot m/a netbook would make a good choice for those seeking a portable machine on which to type lengthy documents. It's also interesting purely because it packs an AMD CPU rather than the ubiquitous Intel Atom

Editor's rating 7.5

Dell Latitude 2100

Aimed primarily at the education market, the 10.1-inch Latitude 2100 sports an interesting set of features that distinguish it from the hordes of other Atom-powered netbooks on the market. Chief among these are an optional touchscreen and thick, rugged shell

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2

The 10.2-inch IdeaPad S10-2 netbook is a worthwhile update to the popular S10. Although Lenovo's jettisoned the ExpressCard slot, the S10-2 sports a pleasingly slim design, decent keyboard and performance, and very good battery life, making it a respectable netbook overall

Editor's rating 6.6

Dell Inspiron Mini 10

The 10-inch Inspiron Mini 10 isn't as slim as some netbooks and its trackpad isn't much cop, but it compensates with an excellent keyboard and a great high-resolution display. It also delivers relatively speedy performance and is available in a number of eye-catching designs

Toshiba NB200

Toshiba's second entry into the netbook arena, the 10.1-inch NB200, is a valiant effort. It ticks all the netbook boxes, as well as offering a couple of very welcome extra features, like a shock-protected hard drive and a USB port that lets you charge mobile devices even when the NB200's turned off

Editor's rating 9.0

Acer Aspire One D250

The 10.1-inch Aspire One D250 netbook fixes some of the most serious flaws of its predecessor, the D150 -- the touchpad buttons are greatly improved and it sports a thinner, lighter design. While there's nothing ground-breaking on offer here, it's a respectable netbook nonetheless

Editor's rating 7.2

Acer Aspire One 751

It may not be the speediest performer in the netbook arena, but the Aspire One 751 has plenty of other things going for it, including its stunning high-resolution, 11.6-inch screen and beautifully slim design. The excellent keyboard and trackpad are the icing on the cake

Eee PC 1101HA

The Eee PC 1101HA, Asus' first 11-inch hyper-portable, challenges traditional netbook perceptions with a large screen and an equally sizeable keyboard, though its low price is more familiar. The extra inch on the screen means higher resolution and more screen real estate, and its battery life is nothing short of prodigious

Eee PC 1005HA Seashell

Its performance is typical of a netbook, but Asus has found other ways to make the Eee PC 1005HA Seashell stand out from the crowd. While the 1005HA sports a good keyboard and an appealing design, the real star of the show is its fantastic battery life

Editor's rating 8.4

Samsung N310

Following the standard netbook template in terms of its specs and performance, the 10-inch N310 manages to stand out from the crowd with a distinctive and appealing design. It also benefits from a top-class display and a great keyboard and trackpad, making for a good all-round machine
