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.

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

The 1000HE could be our new favourite if ASUS’ claims of 9.5 hour battery life stack up.

Is Sony’s new Vaio P the new Lord of the Mini Notebooks? The tiny mini-me laptop weighs a puny 600grams, with 60GB HDD or 128GB SSD.

Ludicrously big batteries will arrive this year for laptops, says MSI, at the launch of its Wind U100+ netbook and ultra-thin X340 laptop.

Can a new Intel chip put make the sub $1,000 portable even more attractive? We cast our eyes over the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE's tasty looking specifications.

Apple's Macbook Pro may be getting all the hype, but Sony's Vaio remains perhaps one of the classiest non-Apple competitors on the market.

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.
