The good Gigabit ports Supports USB storage and printer sharing Excellent throughput and signal The bad Terrible visual design Support documentation is once more MIA, rendering some functions useless Design It's pretty clear that Asus' designers took one look at the technical notes for the RT-N16 and figured that the target market would probably "get" networking terminology. As such, there was no need to dress it up in fancy plastic moulding, and any old box would do. It's been a while since we've seen a router that looked so much the part of a router, but beyond its rather garish and cheap-looking white box casing, there's utterly nothing distinctive about the RT-N16 at all in any way.

(Credit: CBS Interactive) The Chinese manufacturer's ties to IBM are obviously still quite strong, with a lot of IBM's innovations turning up in the RD210.

The good Extremely simple set-up A lot of additional features Dual radios USB charging port The bad Dual radios are both 2.4GHz only Poor handsets Design It's pretty rare that we come across a router design that's anything worth talking about.

The good Good looks Comfortable keyboard The bad Awkward trackpad Tinny speakers Good looks The Acer Aspire 5536 is an attractive unit, with a glossy blue lid and rounded edges. Its 15.6-inch screen makes it a mid-weight laptop at 2.8kg — not too bad, but still not something you want to lug around all day. A full-size keyboard with a separate numeric keypad is the order of the day.

The good Bigger 11-inch, high-resolution screen Overclockable CPU Great battery life The bad Slightly slower and more expensive than standard netbooks Asus is perhaps best known for virtually creating the netbook phenomenon with its line of inexpensive Eee PCs.

The good Portable, like any netbook A tiny bit lighter than the norm due to the smaller battery The bad Poor battery life Uses Sentelic touchpad Design and features ViewSonic, typically known for entry-level monitors, has made its way into the laptop market, riding on the coat-tails of the netbook phenomenon. The VNB101 is an attractive enough little laptop, with a piano black lid and insides, although you can also opt for red and gold should the fancy take you. Uncommonly, ViewSonic has chosen to move a lot of its ports to the back — while there's a USB port on the left and right, and headphone and microphone jacks on the left, the rear gains the lion's share of ports, with VGA, 100Mb Ethernet, SD/MS/MMC card reader and a power jack all lining up where the battery would usually be.

The good Svelte and light Multi-touch touchpad Nice screen The bad 32-bit Vista Business can't see the full 4GB RAM Stippled touchpad isn't pleasant to use Battery life isn't great Covers over ports are inconvenient Design and features Asus' slim, 13-inch laptop does quite a few things right. The brushed aluminium lid is stylish, and the edge to edge, 1366x768 screen is great. It's slim, it's reasonably lightweight, and yet it still manages to pack in three USB ports, a headphone out jack, gigabit Ethernet, SD/MMC card reader, HDMI out and through a mini-adapter, VGA out.

The good 1366x768 screen makes a big difference for usability Good expansion if you're willing to install hardware yourself More power than netbooks The bad Touchpad feels a bit small Design and features We've often frowned on netbooks 11 inches and larger, but the 12-inch MSI Wind12 U200 isn't a netbook. It's got an Intel ULV processor crammed into a small form factor, meaning that it's a good shot more powerful than your standard Atom-equipped netbook. This also means it runs a bit hotter, and as such a fan is permanently running.
