The Acer Aspire One 522 is the first netbook to ship in the US with a 10.1 inch display and an AMD C-50 processor with Radeon HD 6250 graphics. If it weren’t for the high resolution 1280 x 720 pixel display, you’d probably have a hard time telling this mini-laptop apart from any other netbook. […]

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11 review
The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11 is a thin and light 11.6 inch laptop that blurs the lines in many ways between Lenovo’s consumer laptops and the company’s business-class ThinkPad machines. Like a ThinkPad, the Edge 11 has Lenovo’s TrackPoint system with both a touchpad and a pointing stick in the middle of the keyboard. Like […]
Netbook Navigator Nav9 Slate PC review
The Netbook Navigator Nav9 slate PC is one of the first Windows 7 slates aimed at the growing tablet market. While companies have been pumping out Windows tablets for the better part of a decade, most older tablets have carried high price tags and built-in keyboards, allowing you to use the computers as tablets or […]
Asus Eee 1201NL gets reviewed, plays Street Fighter IV nicely
The Asus Eee PC 1201NL has been reviewed before, but the crew at GadgetMix has posted the results of their own hands-on testing. Apart from the typical battery life, build quality, and general performance comparisons, they also decided to benchmark the 1201NL using Capcom’s Street Fighter IV. Better still, they’ve shared a video (which you […]
Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (NVIDIA ION) review
The Lenovo IdeaPad S12 netbook has been on the market for a while. I first reviewed this laptop in the summer of 2009. But Lenovo recently sent me an updated model with NVIDIA ION graphics to review. As promised, the NVIDIA graphics give the laptop an extra boost for watching HD video or playing games […]
Asus Eee PC 1201N review
At first glance, the Asus Eee PC 1201N looks virtually identical to several other 12 inch laptops from Asus including the UL20A and 1201HA thin and light laptops. But while the Asus Eee PC 1201N may have the same chassis as other Asus notebooks, it still breaks the mold in a few important respects. This […]
HP Pavilion DM1 dual-core netbook reviewed
Somewhere in the space between Atom netbooks and full-blown laptops, there’s a space for the HP Pavilion DM1. With an Intel SU2300 dual core CPU under the hood, this ultrathin is powerful enough to compete with chunkier notebooks while thin and light enough to feel like a netbook. Netbooked has gotten their hands on one, […]
Samsung N120 10.1 inch netbook review
At first glance, the Samsung N120 looks like a cross between the Samsung NC20 and N110 laptops. Like the N110, the Samsung N120 has a 10 inch display and a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU. But Samsung’s latest netbook has a larger chassis than the N110, which makes it closer to the size of the […]
HP Mini 1000 review
The HP Mini 1000 is Hewlett Packard’s second entry in the netbook space. The HP 2133 Mini-Note was one of the best looking netbooks around, with its sturdy aluminum case and high resolution 1280 x 768 pixel 8.9 inch display. But the netbook was hampered by its slow VIA C7-M CPU and its relatively high […]
Toshiba NB100 reviewed: Pretty much what you’d expect
Almost every major netbook that’s been announced over the last few months has sported the same specs: 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 9 or 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, and maybe a high capacity hard drive or relatively small solid state disk. So there’s not a ton of reason to expect much variety in […]
