Reviews

  • Asus Eee PC T91

    Asus does a good job of combining a netbook and a touchscreen in the Eee PC T91, even if the system hits a couple of first-generation snags.

  • Asus U80V

    The U80V is without question our favourite 14-inch laptop, and Asus deserves praise for what it has achieved here. If the company can overcome the final stumbling block of having a reliable multi-touch touchpad on PC, we'll be thoroughly impressed indeed.

  • Apple Mac Mini (2009)

    Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.

  • Altech SysArielAtom-DP04

    The DP04 is a classic example of why nettop buyers are better off buying netbooks.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MSI Wind

    This is one of the best mini laptops so far — it's comfortable to use, has a good display and it's affordable.
