1 of 8 
Verdict:
A hi-res screen and docking station in the box make this a 10.1in netbook that's truly different to all of its competition, but battery life's a little disappointing.

Our Rating
Battery life of just under four-hours (there's only a 4,400mAh battery) is quite a way short of the nine-hours plus we're seeing from a lot of netbooks. One neat touch is that pressing the right-touchpad button when the laptop's off lights up LEDs on the front to show you the current battery charge.
The best thing is that the price is no higher for this netbook than others. The real question will come down to what you want to do. The Toshiba NB305 has better battery life, higher image quality and a slightly better keyboard and is ideal if you'll spend a lot of time away from a desk. If you prefer a higher-resolution screen and the flexibility of a docking station, the M1022C is a great choice, but we really want better battery life.
