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...

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

Review 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...

HP Mini 311 (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 2GB RAM)

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...

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...

HP Pavilion dm3 (Intel Core 2 Duo ULV U7300 processor 1.3GHz, 4GB RAM)

Review 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...

Asus Eee PC 1005PE (Intel Atom N450 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review As the company credited with practically inventing the Netbook category, it's no surprise Asus makes some of the most popular mini notebooks around. Top among these is the Eee PC 1005 series. Combining low (but not the lowest) prices with great battery life and good overall design, the 1005 has...

HP Mini by Studio Tord Boontje (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review The HP Mini 110 originally offered a decent combo of cool design, typical Netbook components, and a reasonable price. In the months since its initial release, we've seen other Netbooks do more for less and without the Mini 110's most damning compromise, an awkward elongated touch pad with mouse...

HP Envy 13 (Core 2 Duo SU9600 Processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Even a cursory glance will tell you the HP Envy 13 is a very nicely made premium 13-inch laptop. It's a solid slab of aluminum and magnesium, etched with interesting visual details, and filled with capable components, such as a dual-core low-voltage Intel CPU and discrete ATI graphics. It's...
