  • Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2

    Lenovo's popular IdeaPad S10-2 netbook has been slimmed down and its price reduced, making it a better netbook as long as you can live without ExpressCard.

  • HP ProBook 4310s

    If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.

  • Dell Vostro 1220

    At first glance, the Vostro 1220 looks like an ultraportable notebook that was born from Dell's consumer range. But instead Dell has created its own little niche, targeting the more fashion-conscious business user on a budget.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X200

    It lacks some basic features you may require touch pad, optical drive but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen.

  • Asus Lamborghini VX5

    Asus' Lamborghini VX5 is a luxury laptop, with a luxury price to match thankfully justified by the quality of the laptop and package. If you've got a wad of cash burning in your pocket, and don't mind a little luxury, the VX5 might be for you.

  • Acer Extensa 5635Z

    The Extensa is a business laptop with no particular frills. That's not a bad thing per se, but it's tough to get too excited about it, either.

  • Sony Vaio W

    Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.

  • Dell Mini 10v

    Dell's Mini 10v keeps a lot of the features of the more expensive Mini 10, while dropping the price to AU$549. It's one of only a handful of AU$600 netbooks that doesn't look and feel especially cheap.

  • Acer Aspire 5536

    The Acer Aspire 5536 is a little light on battery, but it's a good all-rounder for anyone seeking an affordable laptop with a big screen and keyboard.

  • ViewSonic VNB101

    The netbook market is so tight, you need some sort of competitive advantage to stand above the crowd. ViewSonic brings a standard netbook with two negatives instead poor battery life and a bad touchpad.

  • Asus UX30

    The UX30 gets oh so close to what it strives to achieve, but small design choices like the stippled touchpad and port covers, and large issues like the low battery life prevent it from achieving greatness.

  • Adaptec MaxIQ

    Adaptec has upped the enterprise storage ante by incorporating an SSD as a cache on its 2 and 5 series controllers, calling the technology MaxIQ.

  • LG Crystal GD900

    We love the clear touchpad, both for its good looks and intuitive gestures, and we think the Crystal makes a good mobile phone. Shame its camera is a stinker.

  • Cisco 891 ISR

    A great little all-in-one network connectivity and security device that offers good value for money and is perfect for a small office or branch/regional office deployment. You would be hard pressed to pass by the 890 family of ISR devices from Cisco.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad T400s

    The T400s is the lightest 14-inch ThinkPad yet from Lenovo just be ready to pay for the convenience.
