NotebookReview Oct 1, 2008

The ultra-portable laptop market has never been more active than it has in the last year. Since the introduction of the "netbook" category of small budget notebooks last year our office has been flooded with at least a dozen compact laptops priced well below $500. With so many...

Though recent netbooks have better specs, it's easy to recommend the S10. With prices hitting the floor and the S10's quality in every respect that matters (except for that damned shift key), it's a good choice that embodies and upgrades an old agage: you'll never get fired for...

Nicely built 10" Atom netbook, but with cramped keyboard, shrunken and misplaced right shift key and no Bluetooth. This review is for the original S10. The S10-2 appears to have fixed the keyboard sins.

First thing's first: when it comes to netbook shopping, you have a LOT of options. Asus, Acer, Lenovo, HP, MSI, Samsung -- to name a few -- have all thrown their hats into the game (seems Apple is the only holdout). So it can be a little bewildering to someone who's looking for a...

It's my first netbook, and i prefer the build / layout to a mate's eeePC. Whilst obviously built down to a price, I have no complaints regarding fit and finish, and have happily thrown it in a bag in a neoprene sleeve to no ill-affect. Performance is everything you'd expect from...
