Reviews

HP Mini 210

HP's Mini 210 combines style and battery life in a combination that makes it genuinely compelling.
Samsung R580

The R580 combines attractive design and performance grunt, but you can't take this desktop replacement too far away from a power source for long.

HP Mini 311

HP's Mini 311 adds a larger, high-definition display and advanced graphics to a basic netbook, while keeping the price very appealing.
