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...

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

Review While PC makers are focused on the low-cost market, Sony doesn't seem to be very interested in this segment. The Japanese maker is well-known for its cutting-edge designs and the Vaio X series is the epitome of that passion. In fact, the first impression one gets is that this Vaio is just a...

MSI X-Slim X400 (Core 2 Duo U2300 Processor 1.3GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review MSI may be a major player in the PC component business, but when it comes to the international notebook market it does not have the same market share as Acer, another Taiwanese vendor. This is probably a reflection on the lack of mind share as MSI machines are not simply copies but feature...

Samsung N120 (Intel Atom N280 processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review 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...

Acer Aspire One AOD250 (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review 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...

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...

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 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...

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...

Dell Adamo (Core 2 Duo U9300 Processor 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Dell initially teased the existence of its upscale 13-inch Adamo laptop at CES 2009, and formally announced details and ordering availability two months later. We previously had a chance to get our hands on a preproduction version of the system, and have now been able to test the finished...

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...
