The ASRock ION 330 nettop is a small desktop PC that’s not much wider than a typical optical disc drive. It’s a bit chunkier than some nettops from MSI, Asus, and other companies, but unlike many of those models, the ION 330 actually makes room for a DVD burner as well as a 1.6GHz Intel […]

HP Mini 311 review
The HP Mini 311 was the first notebook with NVIDIA ION graphics to hit the United States. While this 11.6 inch notebook has a little competition today, it’s still the cheapest NVIDIA ION powered ultraportable, with a starting price of just $399.99. And that could make the HP Mini 311 an attractive computer for anyone […]
HP Pavilion MS214 review
HP has been making all-in-one desktop PCs for a few years, but the HP Pavilion MS214 is one of the company’s first budget models. While other companies including Lenovo, Asus, MSI, and Shuttle have chosen to keep costs down in similar machines by using netbook-like guts including Intel Atom processors and Intel GMA 950 graphics, […]
Asus Eee PC 1008HA (Windows 7 version) review
The Asus Eee PC 1008HA is one of the thinnest and lightest 10 inch netbooks available. It measures just 1 inch thick and weighs just 2.4 pounds. The netbook is a grand departure from early Asus netbooks including the Eee PC 1000HE which was one of the largest and heaviest 10 inch netbooks around. Asus […]
Asus UL20A review
The Asus UL20A is a 12.1 inch laptop that offers many of the advantages of a full sized notebook in package that’s not much larger than a typical netbook. It’s small, light, and gets good battery life compared to many larger laptops, but it offers significantly faster performance, better graphics, and a larger, higher resolution […]
Acer Aspire 1410 review (dual core version)
Acer recently updated the Acer Aspire 1410 laptop to include a dual core Intel CULV processor and Windows 7 Home Premium. And for some reason, Acer knocked about $50 off the price at the same time, making this $400 laptop one of the cheapest computers you can find with an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 […]
Toshiba Mini NB205-N330 review
The Toshiba NB205 is one of the more popular netbooks launched in the second half of 2009 thanks to its large touchpad, roomy keyboard, and stellar battery life. Toshiba recently launched an updated version of the NB205 that ships with Windows 7 Starter Edition and a larger hard drive than earlier models. In some ways, […]
Asus UL30A review
Asus redefined the concept of thin and light notebooks when it launched the Eee PC line of netbooks in 2007. While the Asus UL30A isn’t quite as revolutionary, it’s a remarkable laptop that weighs about 3.7 pounds and gets nearly 10 hours of battery life. For several reasons, it’s not a netbook. First, it’s too […]
HP Mini 5101 review
The HP Mini 5101 is a business class netbook with premium features. While that might sound silly, there’s no better way to describe the HP Mini 5101, which has a number of characteristics that set it apart from the crowd. Sure, it has a 10 inch screen and Intel Atom processor just like virtually every […]
Asus Eee Top ET2002 review
The Asus Eee Top ET2002 is an all-in-one desktop with the computer components and display sharing a single case. The computer has a large 20 inch, 1600 x 900 pixel display and packs a 1.6GHz Dual Core Atom 330 processor. It’s also one of the first all-in-one computers from Asus to feature NVIDIA ION graphics, […]
