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.

We were very fond of the previous version of Asus' Eee PC, the 1008HA, which represented a radical design change from the boxy Eee PCs of the past. But its high-end (for a Netbook) price, at S$798, slipped just over the line for many, and its non-removable battery wasn't as long-lasting as we've...

On the surface, the Booktop seems to be just another Atom-based 10-inch minilaptop from a minor player. But while Gigabyte is better known for manufacturing mainboards than laptops, we were impressed that the M1022M managed to stand out from the crowd during our testing. In fact, it could be the...

One inescapable current Netbook trend is falling prices. With a perfectly serviceable S$699 10-inch system coming from Dell and subsidized Netbooks from mobile phone companies, the current standard of S$699 for a nicely equipped minilaptop is starting to look like the maximum the market will...
Crave Some ideas are cliche, but some become so campy it's actually attractive in an Austin Powers kind of way. Disney and Asus have teamed up to create a Netbook for kids, ...

The HP Pavilion dm series is the first ultrathin range in the company's consumer entertainment lineup and consists of the 11.6-inch dm1 and 13.3-inch dm3. The trademarks of an ultrathin laptop are the omission of an optical drive as well as the use of AMD Neo or Intel CULV chips. The Pavilion...

Lenovo's IdeaPad S10 Netbook was one of the most popular budget minilaptops for good reasons: Its business-friendly tools, ExpressCard slot, and reasonable price all made it a great option for consumers or corporate users.
Now, another revision is available that effectively replaces the...
Crave Asus revolutionized the laptop industry with the launch of its Eee PC netbooks roughly a year ago, and now it’s hoping to strike gold twice with a new low-priced media streamer ...

Thin-and-light laptops may look similar, but they're not all made the same. It's a deceptive world out there, especially since many thin-and-lights trade performance for a stylishly slim chassis, all while marketing a mainstream look that suggests performance equal to other notebooks.

Review
The Netbook wars have heated up with PC makers adding upscale features such as larger HD displays and faster low-voltage CPUs to systems in an effort to push prices past the usual S$499 to S$699 range.
We've seen HD Netbooks from Sony and others, usually with prices closer to S$899, so...
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...

Sony's first foray in to the world of Atom-powered laptops was the Vaio P-series Lifestyle PC, which sported a unique miniaturized design (about the same footprint as a standard business envelope), but was hampered by input issues (no touchpad) and the use of Windows Vista as its OS.

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...
Review
This year has undoubtedly been defined if not by Netbooks, then by the growth of affordable thin laptops that shed the size--and even optical drive--in an effort to provide a more portable, larger-screen computer. Whereas this used to be the domain of highly expensive "executive" machines, such...
