Asus UL30 (Core 2 Solo ULV SU3500 Processor 1.4GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Whether CULV laptops will ever fully find a spot between the Netbook world and the full-featured notebook world, they are most definitely a category that's growing everyday. Dropping an optical drive and adding a low-voltage processor alongside a long-lasting battery are the trends of 2009,...

Gateway LT3104g/LT3105g (AMD Athlon 64 L110 Processor 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review In the battle for Netbook market share supremacy, Intel's Atom CPU stands nearly unchallenged despite a handful of offerings with AMD and Via CPUs. So it's surprising we found so much to like about the 11.6-inch Gateway LT3104g. This uses an AMD Athlon 64 L110 1.2GHz processor to provide a...

Sony Vaio VPC-X118LG/B (Intel Atom Z550 Processor 2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Nokia 6720 classic

Review Compared to the sea of Nokias you're probably familiar with, the 6720 classic appears slender. In reality, the 6720 is only a few millimetres slimmer in width to, say, the 6220 classic (released last year) but it seems much more so, like a Nokia made out of hot toffee slowly stretching length-wise....

Nokia Booklet 3G (Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz processor; 1GB RAM)

Review Mobile phone maker Nokia is jumping into the Netbook pool with its recently announced Booklet 3G laptop, offering a premium-feeling system at a rock-bottom price, as long as you agree to a mobile data contract. The Booklet 3G is easily one of the nicest-looking Netbooks we've seen. Also a...

Ramos T11 (16GB)

Review It costs less than the cheapest iPod touch, yet offers 16GB capacity, a 5-inch touchscreen and USB on-the-go. We take one of the finer "Shanzhai" players out for a spin.
