MSI VR705 review The 17in screen sets the VR705 apart. However, the mediocre keyboard and touchpad mean it's not the perfect all-rounder.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hannspree Hannsnote SN10E1 review The Hannsnote is the cheapest netbook here, but is well designed and well equipped, making it a great option if your budget is limited.

eBuddy review We review eBuddy, an app that brings all groups of friends together in a neat social networking app.
