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...

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...
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 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 Pavilion dm3 (Intel Core 2 Duo ULV U7300 processor 1.3GHz, 4GB RAM)
Review The HP Pavilion dm series is the first ultrathin range in the company's consumer entertainment lineup and consists of the 11.6-inch dm1 and 13.3-inch dm3. The trademarks of an ultrathin laptop are the omission of an optical drive as well as the use of AMD Neo or Intel CULV chips. The Pavilion...
Gigabyte T1028M Touch Note (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz; 1GB RAM)
Review 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...
BenQ JoyBook Lite U121 Eco (Intel Atom Z530 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)
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...
Acer Aspire One 532h (Intel Atom N450 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)
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...
Dell Inspiron Mini 10-Pine Trail (Intel Atom N450 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)
Review We've previously looked at a less expensive version of Dell's redesigned Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook, and the line continues to be a strong player in this crowded field, thanks in part to Dell's name-brand ubiquity, as well as the company's ability to offer a reasonable level of configuration...
HP Mini by Studio Tord Boontje (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)
Review The HP Mini 110 originally offered a decent combo of cool design, typical Netbook components, and a reasonable price. In the months since its initial release, we've seen other Netbooks do more for less and without the Mini 110's most damning compromise, an awkward elongated touch pad with mouse...
Archos 9 PC Tablet (Atom Z510 Processor 1.1GHz, 1GB RAM)
Review Archos is known for its generally well-received portable media players such as the Android-powered Archos 5 Internet tablet. The company's 9-inch PC product, called the Archos 9 PC Tablet, features a full Windows 7 OS in an effort to meld the media player and Netbook laptop into one attractively...
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...
HP Mini 210 (Intel Atom N450 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)
Review We've always been more partial to the Netbooks put out by HP's business side (such as the Mini 5102), but budget-conscious buyers can get largely similar systems from HP's consumer side with lower starting prices. The consumer lineup, previously anchored by the Mini 110, has gotten a modest...
Dell Inspiron Mini 10v (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)
Review The "v" in the Dell Mini 10v's name is seemingly there to indicate value for thrifty Netbook shoppers. The system is in many ways hard to distinguish from its more expensive cousin and is one of the better sub-S$700 Netbook packages we've seen. It does, however, lack the high-end...
