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 Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook to beat.

Reviews

  • Sony VAIO VGN-AR49G

    The Sony VAIO VGN-AR49G is without a doubt a premium multimedia machine with strong graphics performance and a Blu-ray drive. The high price may drive those with smaller wallets to Toshiba's HD-DVD machines which offer similar functionality (sans Blu-ray) though.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X61s

    The ThinkPad X61s provides excellent dual-core performance in a lightweight, compact package that's still comfortable to use.

  • Samsung Q30 Plus

    The Samsung Q30 Plus's superb battery life and light chassis make it a highly attractive ultra-portable, despite questionable performance scores.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook P1510

    Moving away from a Transmeta Crusoe processor, the Fujitsu P series now has a tablet notebook based on the Intel Pentium M platform.

  • ThinkPad X32

    For businesspeople who work long hours on the road, the ThinkPad X32 offers an excellent combination of light weight, sufficient screen and keyboard space, plenty of ports and lengthy battery life.

  • ThinkPad X41

    Though costly and a bit heavier than the ThinkPad X40 it replaces, the ultraportable ThinkPad X41 is still a great choice for the corporate road warrior's dream machine.
