Netbooks: Tiny laptops, tiny price

By Craig Simms on 18 May 2009

The public loves tiny notebooks. Pioneered by Asus with the EeePC 701, everyone's been getting in on the game — while the hardware platform rarely seems to change, the war is being fought heavily on the usability front.

For such tiny, affordable laptops, the quality is quite stunning amongst competitors — hence the huge array of Editor's Choice awards here! Each has its quirks though, so we suggest you read the full reviews to find out which one is right for you.

Asus Eee PC 1000HE

The Asus Eee PC 1000HE is a good 10-inch netbook; while we're hanging out for the higher resolution HP Mini 2140, this is definitely one of the better 10-inch netbooks on the market.

    Much smaller and the things become impossible to use, may as well get a PDA. It comes down to "what do you really need it for?" My partner complains they are unsuitable for gaming- I tell him that's what his big heavy PC is for. I'm delighted to have something on the market that will fit in my bag and not weigh >5kg. Still upgrading the PC though- surely you can't have BOTH portability AND a whizz bang entertainment system.

    Tiny laptops, YEAH RIGHT. Only ONE of them was the smallest 9" variety. Nothing against 10" netbooks, but at that size we're getting into the "remind me again why we're getting a netbook?" range.

    i think the tiny laptops should be reduced so that people of all calibre can purchase,so that some will reach some of the african countries.
