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

Some of the wildest, weirdest and most useful gadgets and gizmos for kids - or big kids at heart

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.

As one of Australia's few locally designed netbooks, the Kogan Agora lives up to some lofty netbook ideals, but it’s sadly ho-hum in too many aspects to be seen as a real netbook contender.

Superb build quality, battery life and usability – quite simply the best netbook around

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

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

If there's one thing that our latest netbook group test has left us hankering for, it's an intrepid manufacturer to come in and nail the netbook formula for $650 or less.

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

Asus add yet another netbook to their range: the swivel hinged T91 Eee PC and HP offer the Mini 5101 netbook for professionals. We investigate the perfect netbook for busy professionals

Asus have launched their new 2009 range with a bunch of improved netbooks and laptops with better battery specs, better keyboards, touch screens and one model that disperses negative ions.

It seems that Samsung may be a player to watch in laptops - we've just seen their new range including the NC20 and N120, and we have to say we're impressed

Finally, a netbook with a real keyboard. The Acer Aspire One A0751 also boasts an iPhone style multi-gesture touchpad and a stylish 16:9 HD display. Is this the end of cramped typing?

Intel has released a beta version of its Linux-based Moblin 2.0 operating system designed for netbooks and nettops..

Are "free laptop" deals like Vodafone's Dell Inspiron mini 9 offer a great way to save money on a new PC, or a cleverly disguised con? We reveal the truth

Ludicrously big batteries will arrive this year for laptops, says MSI, at the launch of its Wind U100+ netbook and ultra-thin X340 laptop.
