Reviews
-
Samsung N110
An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
-
ViewSonic VNB101
The netbook market is so tight, you need some sort of competitive advantage to stand above the crowd. ViewSonic brings a standard netbook with two negatives instead — poor battery life and a bad touchpad.

HP Mini 5101

-
Asus Eee PC 1008HA
Asus reinvents its iconic netbook with the slim, attractive Eee PC 1008HA, a bold experiment that largely works.
-
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.

HTC Touch Pro2
Those who can afford the Touch Pro2 will be buying a feature-rich smartphone with a unique conference calling feature and a decent suite of business apps.

HP Mini 110

-
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.
