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

Well designed, solid and well-featured, but the battery life sells it short.

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

Great for executives on the move thanks to size and decent battery life, but the missing optical drive disappoints

Great for executives on the move thanks to size and decent battery life, but the missing optical drive disappoints.

A good first stab at the semi-ruggedised laptop market. It isn’t up to the tough standards of others, though.

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

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.

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.

Amazingly good value for what you get: a fully-featured, dual-core, ergonomic notebook.

It’s great value and will tempt some people thanks to its size and multimedia abilities.

A powerful and feature-packed notebook. But it can’t match the quality of Dell’s XPS M1710.

We’ve had some great competitors knocking on the mid-range A-Listed door, but TI’s all-rounder wins through.

Some will prefer it to TI’s system, but a few quirks see it finishing in second place.

A notebook fortress to equip your workforce with confidence, but sub-par performance.
