See our side-by-side comparison of the three big guns in the sub-$1,000 mini notebook race, the ASUS N10, S101 and the Eee PC 1000H.

The price war among Netbooks and mini-notebooks is hot at the moment, especially leading up to Christmas. We source the best prices from around the net this week.

Battery life is turning into a major selling point, as we discover when we tested Toshiba's new mini NB100 netbook.

The Eee PC1000H grows an inch, packs twice the battery power of its predecessor and might finally have a keyboard worth typing on. But is $699 too much to pay?

Yes, it’s bigger and dearer than ever, but it’s also the most usable and well-made Eee PC yet.

Since the release of the Eee PC 701, the 'Notebook' has dominated. Easy to use, cheap and able to be left on the coffee table next to the remote, Notebooks are true appliance computing. The choice of which one to buy comes down to personal preference, but it's hard not to prefer those with the best usability. Our rundown of your options covers their performance, battery life, and design.

Can’t decide between an Eee and a Wind? A Mini note or an Aspire One? Believe it or not, there’s a bunch of old school smaller laptops that may do the job for less money. We took a look at 7 old school ultraportables.

The HP Mini 1001TU lid has a silver spiraling pattern across the piano black surface, making it the most attractive netbook we’ve seen.

The notebook giant is planning an ultra low-cost portable to join the ranks of the Eee PC and MSI Wind (though not necessarily a direct competitor, they say). Check out our pic, and first impressions.

A good netbook with lots of storage, but battery life keeps it from being great
