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 Pavilion dv2 (AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 Processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review When we first saw the 12-inch HP Pavilion dv2 at CES 2009, here's what we noted. At first glance, another glossy HP laptop with an AMD processor may induce yawns, but when we learned this was the first system to use AMD's new Netbook-like Athlon Neo platform, our ears perked up. AMD sees...

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...

Axioo Pico (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Stop rubbing your eyes. If you find the Axioo Pico looks strikingly similar to the MSI Wind, that's because both have essentially the same design, features and even hardware. Where they are different is in the price. While the MSI Wind is snagging S$859 from your pockets with two batteries bundled,...

HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Even though the HP Mini 1000 is only a few months old, Hewlett-Packard was actually an early player in the Netbook field. The company's business system side came up with the Mini-Note 2133 in spring 2008, with a solid, brushed-metal chassis and a nearly full-size keyboard. Unfortunately, this...

Acer Aspire One AOD150 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Despite owning a huge chunk of the growing Netbook market, the popular Acer Aspire One has been saddled with a 9-inch screen, rather than the bigger 10-inch type we prefer. At long last, Acer now has a 10-inch model, the Aspire One AOD150. Even better, it's keeping the starting price at S$799,...

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...
