Packard Bell EasyNote TR87 review A smart, well-made laptop, with a generous software bundle and useful features. Below average battery life is its only weakness.
Asus K50IN-SX025C review A great display, two-year warranty and decent battery life make the K50IN-SX025C an excellent choice.
£616
MSI VR705 review The 17in screen sets the VR705 apart. However, the mediocre keyboard and touchpad mean it's not the perfect all-rounder.
£508
Hi-Grade Notino W5900 review A gaudy lid design doesn't hide the budget features of this laptop, but it's well built with a great keyboard.
£495
Samsung R505 review Good build quality and generous hard disk capacity can't quite make up for poor performance and a higher price than PC Nextday's Versa.
£419
Acer Aspire 5536 review Yet another good-value laptop, although it lacks a webcam. Performance isn't wonderful, but it has a great screen and Draft-N WiFi.
PC Nextday Versa 81-2200 review The 81-2200 has few bells and whistles, but a decent keyboard and bright screen make it a great alternative to a netbook.
£349
Dell Inspiron 1545 A great budget laptop, with a relatively high-resolution screen. It's an ideal alternative to a netbook if you want something larger.
£349
MSI Wind U115 Hybrid review The Wind is impressive thanks to its long battery life and bright screen, but it's very expensive and cheaper netbooks have similar battery life.
£450
Medion Akoya E1311 review Medion's Akoya E1311 isn't a bad netbook, but is let down by its stiff keys and relatively short battery life.
£384
Acer Aspire One 751 review One of the better-designed 11.6in netbooks we've seen, it just misses out on an award due to its stiff keyboard and video issues.
Samsung N120 review Samsung's N120 is a great value netbook. It's the best one here for working on the move thanks to its large keyboard and long battery life.
£330
Asus Eee PC 1005HA Seashell review Asus's Eee PC 1005HA Seashell has a bright display and great battery life, but its mediocre input devices means it's not for everyone.
