Not the most attractive, but this Eee PC defies expectations. Another machine that's going onto our netbook shopping shortlist

It’s lovely to look at, with a full size keyboard and glorious screen. See why the Benq Joybook Lite U121 is one of the best rated in our latest netbook roundup

A good quality netbook pipped at the post by its own stablemates.

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

The HP Mini 2140 injects a little prestige back into netbooks, blending style with decent performance and respectable specs.

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

A startling achievement: a highly capable mini-laptop for under $700. Only mediocre battery life mars its appeal.

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

This notebook is the winner of our Light Laptops roundup. It's solid in every area rather than outstanding in one, and very attractively priced.

While we wait with bated breath for the imminent (or was that eventual?) release of Microsoft Media Centre into Australia, the number of companies cashing in on the media functionality of next generation consumer electronics is growing quickly.

Great design and build quality are coupled with a stunning nine-hour battery life, and it’s affordable too

A good laptop for business, with superb design touches but some unfortunate omissions.

A flexible and powerful livingroom PC that ticks almost all the right boxes, as well as being great value.

A good-looking, ergonomically excellent laptop with a wealth of multimedia capabilities for home users.

Dell’s first foray into using AMD processors is a modest performer, but fair value.

Fast and good value. Gamers and power users will like it.

It's the return of the twin graphics chip powered laptop, but this time Core2 Duo power is under the hood.

Very powerful and, with few features missing, it’s good value at the price.

Very fast, but the top-end components offer poor value in the face of competition.

A good, basic notebook that’s specifically designed with the accident-prone user in mind.
