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...

We've gotten to the point where mainstream Netbooks are a fairly rigid format. Slap together an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and a copy of Windows XP, and you've got your hands on essentially the same product sold by PC makers such as Dell, HP, and Acer.

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...

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...
