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

Jam-packed with features, but it struggles to compete with the best.

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.

The Vostro may look like a netbook to the inexperienced eye, but its more powerful processor gives it more flexibility and speed

An attractive design, but several core flaws keep the Mini 10 far from the top of the netbook pile.

Iomega’s latest shows promise, but it’s outclassed by others

A great multimedia phone with surprising business features, but it feels clunky

A good effort by Palm, but it’s a long way behind the best both ergonomically and functionally

A couple of nifty gimmicks and an extended warranty help give this netbook the boost that its ergonomics don’t.

An expensive route, but the Netgear Prosafe SRXN3205 provides the reassurance of of an SSL VPN along with a long warranty.

Yes, it’s fast, but is that enough anymore? Poor drivers and a high price tag are enough to put us off.

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

A good camera but not the most inspiring. There’s better value elsewhere.

A decent enough addition to the legendary EOS range, but there are too many competitors at this price.

Good value if purchased with a plan, the telstra’s speed impresses

A good price coupled with outstanding image quality – a good budget alternative to the Panasonic HDC-HS9

Versatile but deeply uninspiring – for office use only

A vibrant gaming LCD, but it becomes jarring in everyday use

Fine for schools, but its protective surface and price limit its appeal

Packed with features, but it’s expensive and awkward to use
