Reviews

  • Samsung R580

    The R580 combines attractive design and performance grunt, but you can't take this desktop replacement too far away from a power source for long.

  • MSI Wind U135

    MSI's latest netbook impresses us with a quality keyboard.

  • HP Mini 311

    HP's Mini 311 adds a larger, high-definition display and advanced graphics to a basic netbook, while keeping the price very appealing.

  • HP Mini 5102

    HP's sturdy and stylish Mini 5102 is a slight upgrade to one of our favourite netbooks, but we had hoped for a little more fresh thinking for 2010.

  • Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N

    As one of the few netbooks with a dual-core Atom processor and Nvidia Ion graphics, the 12.1-inch Eee PC 1201N has superior performance compared with most Atom-based machines, but any higher-level ULV thin-and-light will still do better.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad Edge (13-inch)

    With a relatively affordable starting price and a new design, the ThinkPad Edge loosens up the ThinkPad look — but losing an optical drive keeps it a yard short of being a top-choice compact business laptop.

  • Sony Vaio VPCCW15FG

    Sony's latest vibrant Vaio has plenty of grunt, but nowhere near enough power.

  • Samsung Q320

    Samsung's Q320 impresses us on most levels, except for the critical issue of battery life.
