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

Part laptop and part nettop, the Gigabyte Booktop M1022M is the first netbook we’ve seen that overcomes the ‘3 USB problem'.

It’s not cheap, but it’s powerful and cleverly constructed to make the most of the components.

Superb performance in one of the sturdiest and best-looking gaming laptops we’ve seen – the Alienware M17x is worth the expense.

Well priced, with a robust chassis and touchscreen option that make it a good choice for classroom use, and any one else wanting a netbook that's a little bit different
