Since we saw the HP Mini for our huge netbook roundup in October, a new 6-cell battery has been released.

The HP Pavilion s5180a punches above its weight and provides a welcoming entry point for a starter or low-end upgrade system.

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

A solidly built thin client with a good hardware specification and features, including a classy remote management act

A great printer for the road with a microscopic footprint, but average performance holds it back from greatness.

Lacklustre colour quality, but good speed and value for money make the K8600 a contender if you like blowing things up to A3 size

A great desktop replacement thanks to the huge screen and dual 200GB hard disks, but its price is too high.

You've seen our first impressions, now here's our full review. Good-looking, usable and keenly priced but, for now at least, poor performance and battery life give the Eee the edge

Beautiful double-sided prints, but it takes its time

Slick print quality and faultless speed, but lacking on the features front

In marketing terms, bigger is better, leadingHP to use a 6.2-megapixel CCD in the newR717. That sounds superior to its predecessor,the R707, but pixel count is largely academicover 4 megapixels unless you want A3 size.
