HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook to beat.

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.

Reviews

  • HP 2133 Mini-Note

    Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.

  • Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz)

    Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz)

    Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price.

  • Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz)

    With the same elegant design as its 20-inch, 2.4GHz sibling, the 24-inch, 2.8GHz iMac offers 30 percent more screen area and a modest performance boost.

  • HP Compaq 2710p

    HP's attractive Compaq 2710p convertible tablet suffers from one fatal flaw, choosing a ThinkPad-style pointing stick over a touchpad.

  • HP Compaq 2510p

    HP's no-nonsense ultraportable laptop scores for its solid construction and some biz-friendly features, but the Compaq 2510p costs just as much as the flashy, consumer-oriented competition.

  • Acer Aspire 5920

    Though it's bulky, the Acer Aspire 5920 makes a great choice for buyers who want both a media-friendly laptop and a portable HD DVD player that plugs into their home theatre.

  • Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

    With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than perhaps any previous Mac to date.
