Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini is a cut-down version of the company's premium iPod dock but boasts even more features.

Dell Mini 10v
Dell's Mini 10v keeps a lot of the features of the more expensive Mini 10, while dropping the price to AU$549. It's one of only a handful of AU$600 netbooks that doesn't look and feel especially cheap.
-

The DualSIM Mini is tiny in form factor, price and attractive features.

HP Mini 5101
HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favourite netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.

Dell Inspiron Mini 1210
The Mini 1210's upgraded processor and shift to Windows XP does remove some of the original model's biggest issues, but it's still not a netbook that we'd buy.

Apple iMac 24-inch (2009)
Apple made a number of changes to the 24-inch iMac, but making it available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched.
-
Dell Inspiron Mini 10
The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 looks to be an improvement on the Mini 9, although the initial low resolution screen, lack of WWAN and three-cell battery option could hamper initial sales. We'd recommend waiting for the updated model coming later this year.

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.
