Reviews

  • Asus Eee PC 1005HA-H

    Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA-H, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a six-hour-plus battery life.

  • Fujitsu M2010

    With a thick chassis and features that don't rise above the pack, the Fujitsu M2010 will have a hard time breaking through the netbook clutter.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, June 2009)

    Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.

    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.

  • Acer Aspire One AOD150

    You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.

    Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.

  • HP Mini 1000
