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.

As prices keep dropping in the Netbook wars, staying competitive among a slew of me-too Atom-powered mini-notebooks is a challenge. While paying S$799 for a Netbook was common just a year ago, stripped-down yet still functional Netbooks today are now pushing S$699, led by Dell and its bare-bones...
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...

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...

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...
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...

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...

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...
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...
Crave On lower-priced laptops and Netbooks, something typically sacrificed is the ability to link up with an external display through anything but a VGA output. With the Targus USB 2.0 Docking ...

Crave The line between portable media devices and traditional Netbooks just got a little more blurred, thanks to the announcement of the Archos 9PCtablet. According to the company, this is a 9-inch ...

Taiwan-based Gigabyte is better known for producing PC motherboards, and this attempt of theirs at penetrating the touchscreen tablet Netbook market has produced a feature-packed product. At S$999, the unit is value-for-money for those looking for a Netbook that also doubles as a convertible...
Review
With the wide range of Netbooks surging into the market, along with the second-generation Atom platform expected early next year, vendors are finding way to differentiate their offerings in the market. HP collaborated with famous fashion designers such as Vivienne Tam and Studio Tord Boontje to...
Review
For a small startup, Singapore-based iiView's first foray into the Netbook arena is surprisingly not another uninspired "me-too" minilaptop. From the get go, the iiView A2's design took a page (more like the entire book) from Apple's MacBook Air. The sleek form factor and generous 12.1-inch...
Review
Acer has become one of the most successful purveyors of Netbooks by relying on a simple premise: Price beats everything. While HP, Dell and others give lip service to low-end models even as they are upselling you toward S$799 Netbooks, the Acer Aspire One series embraces its sub-S$700 roots...
