Netbooks: Mini laptops, max portability
Netbooks are excellent secondary laptops, or if you're always on the road and need portability but not necessarily performance. We round-up the best we've seen so far.
Dell Vostro 320
While a few tweaks such as an in-built wireless receiver for keyboard/mouse and a video input so it could double as a monitor for your laptop would be nice, if you're looking for a cheap all-in-one PC, it's hard to ignore the Vostro 320 as an option.

Dell Vostro 1220
At first glance, the Vostro 1220 looks like an ultraportable notebook that was born from Dell's consumer range. But instead Dell has created its own little niche, targeting the more fashion-conscious business user on a budget.
-
Dell ST2310
The ST2310 has a low price and is good for everyday tasks, but it lacks some of the extra features included with similarly priced displays.
-
Sony Vaio W
Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.
-
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.
-
Dell Studio One 19
There's a decent but not great PC hiding behind the Studio One 19's touchscreen gimmickry.
-
Dell Latitude E6400
Dell's Latitude E6400 is a full featured business laptop that delivers on performance, battery life and price in one neat bundle.
-
Dell UltraSharp U2410
The only way to get better quality than the Dell UltraSharp U2410 is to spend a lot more money — if you need a 24-inch, are on a budget but still need great quality images, we can wholeheartedly recommend this screen.
-
Dell Inspiron 15
The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.
