Apple MacBook (Spring 2009)

The Apple MacBook may look the same as before, but it's had a Spring makeover and is now a better deal than ever.
Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2

Lenovo's popular IdeaPad S10-2 netbook has been slimmed down and its price reduced, making it a better netbook — as long as you can live without ExpressCard.
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.
Gigabyte Booktop M1022M

The Booktop may be on the costly side, thanks to the bundled docking station, but it still falls below "premium" netbook costs. Plus the excellent battery life and ability to switch from a desk-bound PC to a portable mini-laptop captured our attention.
Lenovo ThinkPad X200

It lacks some basic features you may require — touch pad, optical drive — but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen.
Samsung N110

An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
Samsung NC10

The NC10 betters previous Samsung netbooks with a built-in HSDPA SIM card reader and the portability this provides. Optus wireless broadband bundles seem like excellent value.
Asus Eee PC 1101HA Seashell

Swelling the ranks of 11.6-inch netbooks, the Asus Eee PC 1101HA impresses with its design and battery, but having to overclock a slower version of Intel's Atom CPU is a dodgy workaround.
