Fujitsu P770 LifeBook

Fujitsu's tiny Core i7 system is all business. Don't expect flashy graphics performance or shiny case designs, but as a spreadsheet-crunching machine with good portability it's highly suitable.

MSI Wind U160

The chunky battery MSI slaps onto the U160 does give it a big backside, but also supplies enough energy to keep it going longer than comparable netbooks.

Reviews

  • Asus Eee PC 1005PE

    As the first next-gen Intel Atom netbook, Asus' Eee PC 1005PE offers amazing battery life, but otherwise feels like a last-gen system.

  • Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (Intel Atom N450)

    Dell's basic netbook adds better battery life and the newest Intel Atom CPU, and robust configuration options add a level of flexibility many other netbooks lack.

  • Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N

    As one of the few netbooks with a dual-core Atom processor and Nvidia Ion graphics, the 12.1-inch Eee PC 1201N has superior performance compared with most Atom-based machines, but any higher-level ULV thin-and-light will still do better.

  • Samsung N150

    The Samsung N150 will appeal to anyone who puts battery life at the top of their list of priorities, but it's not massively different to previous-generation machines and its keyboard isn't quite as good as those on rivals such as the Eee PC 1000HE.

  • 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.

  • Samsung N110

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The iPad is Apple's netbook

    The iPad fits in the market between smartphones and computers. It does more than a phone, less than a full computer, at a cost in between those products.

  • Poll: Which is better: Netbook or smartphone?

    Convergence keeps on keeping on, and it looks like netbooks may possibly be flash-in-the-pan material in the face of smartphones and perhaps even tablets.

    Google's new operating system is certainly something to get excited about, but don't put a new laptop purchase on hold because you want a Chrome netbook.
