Gigabyte M1022M Booktop (Intel Atom N280 processor 1.66GHz; 1GB RAM)

Review On the surface, the Booktop seems to be just another Atom-based 10-inch minilaptop from a minor player. But while Gigabyte is better known for manufacturing mainboards than laptops, we were impressed that the M1022M managed to stand out from the crowd during our testing. In fact, it could be the...

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...

Sony Vaio VPC-W115XG/P (Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Sony's first foray in to the world of Atom-powered laptops was the Vaio P-series Lifestyle PC, which sported a unique miniaturized design (about the same footprint as a standard business envelope), but was hampered by input issues (no touchpad) and the use of Windows Vista as its OS. At...

Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review When we first heard Lenovo had an IdeaPad S12 on its way, we were expecting the long-anticipated Nvidia Ion-packing version, which will include graphics power decent enough to accomplish HD video and even some demanding gaming. Instead, we got a configuration that includes an Intel Atom N270...

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...

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...

Asus Eee PC 1008HA (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review One inescapable current Netbook trend is falling prices. With a perfectly serviceable S$699 10-inch system coming from Dell and subsidized Netbooks from mobile phone companies, the current standard of S$699 for a nicely equipped minilaptop is starting to look like the maximum the market will...

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...

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 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 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 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...
