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...

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...

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...

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...

Samsung NC20 (Via U2250 processor 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Samsung's NC20 stands out from the crowd in two very important ways. First, it's one of only a handful of 12-inch Netbooks (the best-known example being Dell's Vista-addled Mini 12). Secondly, it's the first laptop we've tested with Via's Nano CPU, intended as an alternative to Intel's popular...

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...

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 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...

Sony Ericsson W902 Walkman

Review Announced back in July, the W902 is Sony Ericsson's flagship Walkman phone for the end of 2008, and the first Walkman to come with a 5-megapixel camera. We loved the early pre-production sample we were given several months ago, and have been desperate to get our hands on the W902 ever since. Now we...

Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman

Review Sony Ericsson's new W595 is a slider handset with a 3.2-megapixel camera, and it replaces the popular W580i from last year. With upgraded specs, can this year's model do justice to last year's? Editors' note:This review is based on tests done by our sister site CNET.co.uk. As such, please note...

Sony NWZ-S738F (8GB)

Review Sony has come a long way since the release of the NW-MS11 Network Walkman. One of the company's first flash-based MP3 players, the NW-MS11 didn't even play MP3s and was crippled by copy-protection woes and painfully slow transcoding, but even back then, Walkmans were a model of sleek design and...

Nokia 7310 Supernova

Review If you grew up during the early 90s you'll remember that certain Nokia handsets boasted removable covers. Some years later Nokia decided that swapping covers was rather passé, but now they're back--and Nokia's latest handset to feature a fully removable case is the 7310 Supernova. Editors'...

BlackBerry Storm 9500

Review You'll either love or hate the Storm's clickable screen, so try before you buy.

Nokia N96

Review When the Nokia N95 was released it took the world by storm as it managed to pack pretty much everything the hardened gadgeteer could need into a pocket-friendly device. Since then it's been joined by other do-it-all phones such as the iPhone 3G and T-mobile G1. The N96 signals the start of Nokia's...
