Reviews

  • Asus Eee PC S101

    Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.

  • HP Mini 1000

    HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.

  • ASUS EeePC 1000H

    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.

  • 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.

  • BenQ Joybook S61

    There's a lot to love about BenQ's ultra-portable media centre notebook, even if battery life isn't ideal.

  • Acer TravelMate 8200

    From a performance perspective, the fast Acer TravelMate 8200 does Intel's new Core Duo processor proud -- but its mediocre battery is hardly the five hours Intel promised.
