The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 is the best option here for pure image quality and flexibility, if you can live with its size and quirks.

Battery life lets down this otherwise solid netbook from a local manufacturer

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

Superb quality, packed with features and cheap to run. A worthy alternative to the Kyocera.

Sleek and professional, the Hp Mini 5101 is another attractively pitched netbook that can't shake its very poor battery life. When will manufactuers learn that battery life is all-important to netbook success?

The A330 is a competent, fully featured and easy to use DSLR, but a backward step in some respects.

If you can’t stretch to the Samsung N110, the 1005HA makes an excellent lower-cost alternative

An entry-level HD camcorder with an identity crisis, but at this price, it puts quality in the hands of everyone.

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.

A very likeable all-in-one – albeit limited in its usefulness beyond basic functions. Read our review of Shuttle's new all-in-one X50

Stunning design goes hand in hand with fine usability, but the non-replaceable battery and high price count against the Eee PC 1008HA Seashell

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

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

It's not widely available, but with this battery life on offer the BenQ Joybook Lite U101 should be

A fast, sensibly designed three-bay NAS device with RAID5

An excellent phone for businesses and consumers, although some will find the lack of 3G a concern

Incredible levels of control and exquisitely fine pressure sensitivity make this a worthy upgrade

Slim, sleek, powerful and good value, but poor battery life rules this phone out of the running
