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...

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...

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 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,...

HP TouchSmart tx2 tablet PC (AMD Turion 64 X2 ZM-82 processor 2.0GHz, 3GB RAM)

Review The HP TouchSmart tx2 stands alone as a rare example of a consumer-focused convertible tablet PC. We're not sure if this is because non-business-related laptop users don't see the value of a touchscreen tablet, but hopefully they'll catch on soon. The tx2 is an evolution of HP's...

HP iPaq Voice Messenger

Review Though HP has been rather quiet when it comes to launching new mobile devices last year, its latest pair of handhelds make the iPaq portfolio more complete. The Data Messenger comes with a slide-out QWERTY, while the Voice Messenger replaces the earlier 512 Voice Messenger with a dual-letter...

HP iPaq Data Messenger

Review There are some useful security features on this smartphone, but aside from that it falls short in many aspects.

HP Pavilion dv4 (Core 2 Duo P8400 Processor 2.26GHz, 3GB RAM)

Review If you can find a more feature-packed laptop for under S$2,200 on store shelves, I'd like to see it. The HP Pavilion dv4 separates itself from its retail competition by including 64-bit Vista and 4GB of memory while also serving up multimedia-friendly features such as an HDMI port, dual headphone...

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,...
