Asus EeePC 1215N review Sacrifices battery life for a welcome increase in performance, but the price takes it close to ultra-portable territory.

Samsung Q530 review The Q530 has everything you need - a decent display, dedicated graphics and near-desktop performance, plus a great design - but it's too expensive

Toshiba AC100-10z review The AC100 is an intriguing alternative to a regular netbook, but Android doesn't work as well here as it does on a phone.

HP Pavilion DM3-2040ea review The DM3's good-looking exterior can't make up for average performance and poor usability.

Acer Aspire One 533 review The best Aspire One yet, with a long-lasting battery and excellent usability this is also one of the best netbooks around.

Packard Bell EasyNote TX (TX86-GO-045UK) review The EasyNote TX is great value at £600, but the EasyNote TM is even better value at £50 less.

Toshiba Satellite C650-15X review Toshiba's Satellite C650-15X is gratifyingly cheap. Although its processor is getting on a bit; it's great for basic tasks and has a large hard disk for your files

Samsung X420 review The excellent battery life can’t make up for a lack of performance and a relatively high price

Toshiba Satellite A660-17T review A competent desktop replacement, but it's more expensive than similarly specified rivals.

Acer Aspire 5741G (5741G-334G50Mn) review Viewed on its own, the Aspire 5741G is a solid laptop, but battery life isn't great and you can have the same specifications for less money elsewhere.

Acer Aspire 5942G (5942G-334G32Bn) review The Aspire 5942G tries hard to be the perfect entertainment laptop, but it really needs a higher-resolution display to match its Blu-ray drive.

Packard Bell EasyNote TM (TM99-GN-005UK) review A laptop with great performance and a good screen. As long as you can live with the design, it's great value.

Dell Latitude 2110 review A rugged netbook, the 2110's slow performance is typical of a netbook, but its battery life isn't great and the touchscreen is a gimmick
