8.  Dell Latitude E6500 (Core 2 Duo T9600 processor 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM)    
 
CNET Asia rating: 9 out of 10
The good: High-resolution, high-quality screen; backlit keyboard; dual-navigation; eSATA PCMCIA and Express Card; ambient light sensor.
The bad: Lack of dedicated numberpad; mouse software not as configurable as it could be; air vent on left-hand side instead of rear.
The bottom line: The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurability and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.

The good: Rugged; good battery life; value for money.

10.  Asus Eee PC 1000H (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)
 
CNET Asia rating: 8.8 out of 10
The good: Intel Atom CPU; 10.2-inch screen; keyboard.
The bad: Weight; lack of 3G.
The bottom line: The Eee PC 1000H is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between Netbook and ultraportable, but it's well-equipped, well-designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.

This is a pretty decent list, but I think it's about time you create a netbook segment distinct from laptops in general. The usage model and specs are very different after all. How could you rate a powerful machine powered with the latest and fastest Core 2 Duo with one that runs on an Intel Atom? Come on, guys!
