HP Mini 5103

HP Mini 5103

HP's Mini 5103 is a gorgeous, luxury item that makes a netbook desirable again. You'll still need to ask yourself if the small size is worth the cost; however, for portability, battery life and features, the 5103 is on our wanted list.

Acer Aspire One Happy

Acer Aspire One Happy

For AU$499, the Acer Aspire One Happy is likely to make someone happy. Increasingly, though, we're seeing netbooks as too limited — we'd be much more tempted to splash out on a thin-and-light like the MacBook Air or a full-fledged budget laptop instead.

Lenovo IdeaPad S12

Lenovo IdeaPad S12

Although the IdeaPad S12 with its Nvidia Ion graphics processor provides some 3D muscle, it costs more than comparable netbooks.

Asus Eee PC 1201N

Asus Eee PC 1201N

We like the 1201N, but at a price of AU$789, it sits in an uncomfortable spot between a full-sized budget laptop and a smaller netbook with integrated graphics. Ultimately, it all comes down to needs — if you must have a netbook, this is the highest performing one you'll get. Just be aware there are other options out there.

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 is a marked improvement from its predecessor, the S10-2, and is one of the most compact yet comfortable netbooks we've seen.

Fujitsu P770 LifeBook

Fujitsu P770 LifeBook

Fujitsu's tiny Core i7 system is all business. Don't expect flashy graphics performance or shiny case designs, but as a spreadsheet-crunching machine with good portability it's highly suitable.

MSI Wind U160

MSI Wind U160

The chunky battery MSI slaps onto the U160 does give it a big backside, but also supplies enough energy to keep it going longer than comparable netbooks.
