Acer Aspire One

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.

23/06/2008

ASUS EeePC 901

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.

20/06/2008

MSI Wind

This is one of the best mini laptops so far -- it's comfortable to use, has a good display and it's affordable.

04/06/2008

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.

11/05/2007

Asus EeePC 900

The Asus EeePC 900 is an excellent update to the EeePC 701, and a fantastic purchase.

24/04/2008

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.

14/04/2008

Dell XPS M1530

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.

Acer TravelMate 6292

A well-built and -- shock-horror -- good-looking business notebook, the Acer TravelMate 6292 would be one of our first choices for life on the road.

14/06/2007

Acer Aspire 6920G

The Aspire 6920G is a stylish machine that offers great performance for watching movies or playing the latest games. It's an excellent option if you're looking for a desktop replacement laptop that can keep you entertained.

25/06/2008

HP Pavilion dv2633XT Special Edition 'Verve'

The Verve is near perfect -- though it wouldn't hurt HP to squeeze out a little more battery life, thin out the crapware and to start supplying some realistic driver downloads.
