The HP Mini 5103 is the latest business-class netbook from Hewlett Packard. Physically it looks almost exactly like the HP Mini 5101 and 5102 which precede it. The primary difference is that in the US the netbook is only available in a new dark brown “espresso” color. Under the hood, the HP Mini 5103 has […]

Acer Aspire One 721 review
At first glance, the Acer Aspire One 721 is little more than a larger version of the Aspire One 521 netbook I reviewed earlier this summer. Both models have the same AMD Athlon II Neo K125 CPU and ATI Radeon HD 4225 graphics. They both have wide, flat keyboards and similar case designs. But while […]

HP Mini 210 HD review
The HP Mini 210 HD is a small laptop that’s both stylish and a bit more capable than many other 10 inch netbooks thanks to its high resolution 1366 x 768 pixel display. HP first introduced the Mini 210 series earlier this year, but after phasing out the budget model with a lower resolution screen, […]

Dell Inspiron M101z review
This is usually the part of the review where I spell out the specs of a new laptop and explain how it fits in with other recent machines from the PC vendor. But I want to get something out of the way first: The Inspiron Mini M101z is the best budget thin and light laptop […]

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e review (dual core AMD L625 model)
The Lenovo ThinkPad X100e is a thin and light laptop with an 11.6 inch display. But unlike many of the laptops I’ve reviewed that meet that description, the ThinkPad X100e is aimed at business users. It has a professional look with a black, boxy case. And in addition to a multitouch trackpad, the ThinkPad X100e […]

Acer Aspire One 521 review
The Acer Aspire One 521 looks like a typical netbook. It has a 10 inch display, a slightly less than full sized keyboard, and it weighs just 2.8 pounds. But while virtually every netbook released over the past two years has shipped with a low power Intel Atom processor, the Acer Aspire One 521 is […]

MSI Wind U135 review
The MSI Wind U135 is a 10 inch netbook with an Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail processor and a chiclet-style keyboard. That sentence could describe virtually every netbook released in the first half of 2010, but the Wind U135 stands out from the crowd just a tiny bit due to decent build quality and an […]

Samsung NB30 review
There’s a lot to like about the Samsung NB30 netbook. This 10 inch mini-laptop has a semi-rugged case design that helps protect it from scratches and fingerprints. The keyboard is spill-resistant, and reasonably easy to type on. And there’s a hard-drive sensor which shuts down the disk temporarily to protect it from damage in the […]

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t convertible tablet review
The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t is a 10 inch netbook with a touchscreen display that you can fold down over the keyboard for use in tablet mode. It has a capacitive touchscreen display which means you can navigate by pressing your fingertip against the screen. The computer won’t recognize input from a stylus. Like most netbooks, […]

CTL 2Go Convertible Classmate PC NL2 review
CTL has been distributing computers based on Intel’s Classmate PC reference designs about as long as anyone. Over the past few years, we’ve seen models with 9 and 10 inch displays, Windows XP and Windows 7, standard displays and touchscreens. Today CTL introduced the latest iteration, and like it’s predecessors it’s target at the education […]
