Review Summary

ASUS packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, but some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises make the S101 harder to use than it should be.

HP's entertainment notebook not only delivers in features, but also goes the extra mile to redesigning the chassis to appeal to those with unconventional tastes.

The Acer Ferrari One's appearance will polarise opinion, but there's no denying it's the finest Netbook so far. It's quick, it's versatile and it's fabulously comfortable to use.

Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a 6-plus hour battery life.
