Gateway LT3104g/LT3105g (AMD Athlon 64 L110 Processor 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review In the battle for Netbook market share supremacy, Intel's Atom CPU stands nearly unchallenged despite a handful of offerings with AMD and Via CPUs. So it's surprising we found so much to like about the 11.6-inch Gateway LT3104g. This uses an AMD Athlon 64 L110 1.2GHz processor to provide a...

Asus UX30 (Core 2 Duo ULV SU9400 Processor 1.4GHz, 4GB RAM)

Review The Asus UX series is the Taiwanese maker's first foray into the Intel CULV segment, which seeks to offer sleek thin-and-lights at an affordable price point. Another vendor from the same island, Acer, was one of the first to offer consumer ultra-low-voltage machines via the Timeline series. The...

Dell Inspiron Mini 10v (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review The "v" in the Dell Mini 10v's name is seemingly there to indicate value for thrifty Netbook shoppers. The system is in many ways hard to distinguish from its more expensive cousin and is one of the better sub-S$700 Netbook packages we've seen. It does, however, lack the high-end...

Toshiba Satellite T135 (Pentium ULV SU2700 Processor 1.3GHz, 3GB RAM)

Review Thin-and-light laptops may look similar, but they're not all made the same.

The...

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Asus W90Vp (Core 2 Duo T9600 Processor 2.8GHz, 6GB RAM)

Review If you're on the fence deciding between buying a desktop gaming PC and monitor or going with a less powerful but more mobile laptop, let us introduce you to the Asus W90Vp. It isn't much to look at as gaming notebooks go. But it has everything we expect and more in the features department,...

Asus Eee PC 1101HA (Intel Atom Z520 Processor 1.33GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Asus is perhaps best known for virtually creating the Netbook phenomenon with its line of inexpensive Eee PCs. The company has subsequently done a good job of refining and expanding on the Netbook experience, with systems such as the slim Eee PC 1005HA and the touchscreen Eee PC T91. The...

Samsung N310 (Intel Atom N280 processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review We've gotten to the point where mainstream Netbooks are a fairly rigid format. Slap together an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and a copy of Windows XP, and you've got your hands on essentially the same product sold by PC makers such as Dell, HP, and Acer. The...
