    The DP04 is a classic example of why nettop buyers are better off buying netbooks.

  • Dell Studio XPS 13

    The Dell Studio XPS 13 is a very good laptop. It could have been excellent, but Dell seems to have actually tried too hard in some areas, such as the laptop's design, and we feel it's backfired slightly.
