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.
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.
Reviews
-
HP ProBook 4310s
If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.
-
HP 2159m
HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class — however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.
-
HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One C309g
The Photosmart Premium is a nifty little multifunction with the added novelty of a touchscreen. It does a great job of plain text, but it's a pity about its colour prints.
-
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.
-
HP w185
Its limitations mean that the only scenario we can recommend the w185 in is where you need a dirt cheap monitor for extremely basic use, like to throw in a server room. Otherwise if you're looking for quality, we'd look elsewhere.
-
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.
-
HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touchscreen, multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.
-
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.
