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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Asus Eee PC S101 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review With the basic parameters of what makes a Netbook fairly set in stone, it's becoming harder than ever for a new model to stand out from the crowd, as evidenced by largely identical recent Netbooks from Dell, Lenovo, and HP--though the HP Mini 1000's impressively large keyboard was a plus. To...

HP Mini 1000 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review It may seem as if Hewlett-Packard is arriving somewhat late to the Netbook game with its Mini 1000, but the company's business division has offered a similar system, the 2133 Mini-Note PC since the spring of this year. That model scored points with the best Netbook keyboard we've seen and a solid...

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?

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...
