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.

Nvidia’s remix of the popular netbook platform lends Intel’s stripped-down Atom some added Graphical clout. We test the technology to see how it performs

In a world first, we've managed to get our hands on a review unit of Sony's stunningly thin ultraportable. Most surprisingly, it sports the newest Atom chip from Intel - the Z550 2.0GHz and GMA 500 graphics.

A stunning piece of design matched with excellent battery life, but with an Atom inside the price is surely too high

An improvement over the Eee PC 900, with longer battery life and sleeker looks – but its rivals are catching up

A fast lifestyle phone that might be more at home in the business world.

A very likeable all-in-one – albeit limited in its usefulness beyond basic functions. Read our review of Shuttle's new all-in-one X50

Dell's 12.1in netbook could have been good, but you'd have to buy one in the US to realise its true potential

So, the last big name has fallen. HP gave out in April 2008, and both Dell and Toshiba's resistance crumbled by the autumn. But it's taken Sony until the middle of 2009 to produce what it confesses to be a netbook, the VAIO Mini W Series.

Looks, features, value: this is the first nettop we’ve seen to genuinely appeal in all the key areas

An impressive touchscreen all-in-one PC for an equally impressive price, but the single-core Atom holds it back

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

As one of Australia's few locally designed netbooks, the Kogan Agora lives up to some lofty netbook ideals, but it’s sadly ho-hum in too many aspects to be seen as a real netbook contender.

Neither cheap nor beautiful, MSI’s Atom powered nettop is sadly second among equals.

Fantastic looks but a high price for what is, essentially, the same old netbook under the hood.

It may be lovely, but Sony’s under-powered P-series costs too much and features features poor battery life.

Dell’s long-awaited netbook has much to recommend it, but it’s far from the perfect product.

Neither fish nor fowl, the N10J nonetheless manages to command both graphics and portability

With only Dell's disappointing Inspiron Mini 12 so far released, Samsung doesn't have a great deal of competition at this size. The NC20 has six-hour battery life, fine performance and a superb display

Lacks in power, but terrific hardware design makes this an intriguing take on the Eee brand.
