Samsung N110

An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.

Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.

Reviews

Sony Vaio VGN-P15G (Intel Atom Z530 processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Sony's upscale Atom-powered Lifestyle PC has the components of a cheaper machine, but the design of a more expensive one. The end result will be a useful travel PC for some and a conversation piece for others.
Asus N10 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.
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 G2S

Asus offers up a respectable 17-inch gaming rig with the Asus G2S. Its good looks, however, are offset by uninspiring gaming performance.
Fujitsu LifeBook A6030

Though its design isn't groundbreaking, the media-friendly Fujitsu LifeBook A6030 offers home users a thorough feature set, gorgeous display, and strong performance at a competitive price.
Lenovo 3000 N200

The Lenovo 3000 N200 is quite a nifty notebook which verges on desktop replacement. Once all the extra useless software has been stripped off, it's a robust and well performing system that is sure to find a home slung to the shoulder of a few office execs.
Toshiba Qosmio G40

Like its predecessor, the Qosmio G30, Toshiba's flagship multimedia desktop replacement offers a complete suite of entertainment features. The G40 is slightly slimmer and has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.
Toshiba Satellite P100

Toshiba's Satellite P100-PSPAGA offers excellent components, features, and performance, but you can find similar systems for less.
