1 Acer Aspire One

Acer Aspire One   Editors’ Choice

The Acer Aspire One is better than most netbooks. It's fantastic for anyone who wants a small, cheap machine on which to type and surf the Web. However, its battery life lets it down slightly.

2 Asus EeePC 1000H

Asus EeePC 1000H   Editors’ Choice

The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.

3 ASUS EeePC 901

ASUS EeePC 901   Editors’ Choice

The Eee is now faster, looks nicer, and has better battery life. It's also heavier and the keyboard is still too small, but we like it. A lot.

4 MSI Wind

5 Toshiba Satellite A200

Toshiba Satellite A200

The A200 is a good all-rounder notebook with plenty to offer those on a budget. Just don't expect a performance powerhouse at this price.

6 Dell Studio 1535

The Dell Studio 1535 is a good mid-range laptop that fills the gap between premium and mainstream, and offers good quality for the price.

7 Asus M51Va

Asus M51Va

Asus' M51Va passes muster as one of the better laptops out there, and the Centrino 2 certification means you'll be up to date with the latest spec. If you're in the market for a mid-weight laptop, make sure to give this one a try.

9 HP 2133 Mini-Note

HP 2133 Mini-Note

Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.

10 Dell XPS M1530

Dell XPS M1530   Editors’ Choice

Don't let the slim design and relatively light heft fool you. This XPS is one powerful gaming portable with an impressive feature set for work and play.

      Logitech QuickCam Sphere AF
