HP ProBook 5310m (Core 2 Duo SP9300 LV Processor 2.26GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review The HP ProBook 5310m is the Palo Alto company's pioneer in the M series which goes for a sleek profile by omitting an internal optical drive and going with a low-powered processor. In other words, the focus is on portability and long battery life. It shares part of its DNA with...

MSI X-Slim X400 (Core 2 Duo U2300 Processor 1.3GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review MSI may be a major player in the PC component business, but when it comes to the international notebook market it does not have the same market share as Acer, another Taiwanese vendor. This is probably a reflection on the lack of mind share as MSI machines are not simply copies but feature...

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 N120 (Intel Atom N280 processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review As part of its inital return to Asia, Samsung offers the N120 for those who find Netbook keyboards too small and Netbook speakers too wimpy. This minilaptop takes a basic Netbook component set and jams in a keyboard that we'd normally find on a larger 12-inch laptop along with a 2.1-speaker sound...

Lenovo IdeaPad Y450 (Core 2 Duo T6600 Processor 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Formerly known for the iconic, if boxy, ThinkPads (which the company still does well: See our review of the T400s), Lenovo has also begun branching into more stylish consumer products, loosening up its slightly uptight design aesthetics along the way. The recent IdeaPad line reflects the change...

Fujitsu M2010 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Fujitsu is finally getting in on the growing Netbook trend with an entry aimed at the educational market. The M2010 includes many of the same features already common in the increasingly similar Netbook product landscape, so what differentiates it as an "education Netbook?" We were curious to find...

HP Mini 110 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review As the slim, snazzy HP Mini 1000 is one of our favorite Netbooks, and we were excited to hear of a less expensive sequel. While the new S$699 Mini 110 doesn't stray far from the Mini 1000 mold, there are some subtle changes that are not always for the best. At first glance, the two systems...

Acer Aspire 3935 (Core 2 Duo P7450 Processor 2.13GHz, 3GB RAM)

Review It's easy enough to find a thin, sexy 13.3-inch laptop such as the Dell Adamo or Apple MacBook. Finding one for less than S$2,000 is a little tougher as the base model aluminum MacBook starts at S$2,888 (yes, there's a S$1,598 plastic model, too). And HP's recent Pavilion dv3 is certainly...

Dell Adamo (Core 2 Duo U9300 Processor 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Dell initially teased the existence of its upscale 13-inch Adamo laptop at CES 2009, and formally announced details and ordering availability two months later. We previously had a chance to get our hands on a preproduction version of the system, and have now been able to test the finished...

LG X110 (Intel Atom Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Its first Netbook effort--the Netbook X110, is available only without mobile broadband contract plans. It packs all the usual features you'd expect from a machine of its ilk, but has the added bonus of an optional integrated 3G modem. But is this enough to help it challenge more established rivals?

HP Mini 5101 (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review When we heard that HP was making some big changes to its small business Netbook, we were worried. After all, the current version--the Mini 2140--is probably one of the better Netbook out there, thanks to an innovative keyboard (since adopted by HP's consumer Netbooks), full ExpressCard slot, and...

Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T (Core 2 Duo SU9400 Processor 1.4GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Acer's new Timeline series of laptops, including the 13-inch Aspire 3810T, aims to combine the thin, sexy designs of more expensive laptops with cost-saving, low-power processors. But that's a direction many PC makers are moving in, thanks to budget-friendly CPUs such as the AMD Neo and Intel...

Asus Eee PC 1000HE (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Asus deserves credit for practically inventing the Netbook market with its original 7-inch Eee PC, and its 9- and 10-inch follow ups. In the year-and-a-half since then, other companies have done much to add functionality (ExpressCard slots on the Lenovo S10) and refine the design (big keyboard on...

Acer Aspire One AOD250 (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review As prices keep dropping in the Netbook wars, staying competitive among a slew of me-too Atom-powered mini-notebooks is a challenge. While paying S$799 for a Netbook was common just a year ago, stripped-down yet still functional Netbooks today are now pushing S$699, led by Dell and its bare-bones...

Asus Eee PC 1005HA (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review 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...
