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.
ViewSonic VX2268wm

The VX2268wm is a reasonably good entry for a TN screen; however, we're not sold on the 3D, which increases the price greatly. For the dollars involved, we'd rather ditch the 3D and buy a higher quality monitor.
iXpand 3G

Despite its stylish iPhone-like design, the iXpand 3G is best avoided due to its sub-par battery performance.
ViewSonic VX2237wm

The VX2237wm is passable considering its price range, but you can get better for cheaper if you don't need the speakers.
AOC 2236Vw

AOC's 2236Vw is a budget-level model, with severe light bleed, poor greyscale control and an awful OSD. There are simply much better options in this price range, like Acer's G225HQ. As such, we can't recommend it.
Acer G225HQ

The G225HQ is nothing special, but it'll likely appeal to twitch gamers with next to zero input lag, its aggressive styling and affordable price. It's just a shame it's a gloss screen.
Asus VH232H

The VH232H is great on build quality, but stumbles on image quality. Colour accuracy isn't its strong point, sharpness is set too high and movie watching over HDMI isn't the best; but if you just want to do some basic gaming, it might fit your bill.
