It's very, very thin, and very light. MSI’s X340 somehow manages to be sleek, sexy and undesirable all at the same time.

MSI’s Wind Top AE1900 takes on the touchscreen nettop competition, but singularly fails to excite.

Our pics and first impressions of the hotly anticipated ultra-cheapie, and yes, it's better than the Eee in several ways.

Disappointing ergonomics, but the blend of power and battery life makes it very good value.

MSI's Prestige laptop comes with a whole bunch of goodies: how does a wireless mouse, 4GB USB key, leather carrybag and leather stitched lid sound, for starters? And that's before you look under the lid.

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

More than just a new coat of paint, the new Wind adds mobility with 3G. While the design and features don't look as cutting edge as they once did, this is still a great netbook

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

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

Dell's long awaited entry into the Eee-class notebook market is a top effort, though not perfect.

It seems that Samsung may be a player to watch in laptops - we've just seen their new range including the NC20 and N120, and we have to say we're impressed
