The good Sophisticated new design Plenty of configuration options Good battery life The bad Low-resolution display Options can quickly drive up price Small keyboard and touch pad With a slightly revamped design and a new Intel Atom CPU, Dell's popular Inspiron Mini 10 netbook continues to be a strong player in this crowded field, thanks in part to Dell's name-brand ubiquity, as well as to the company's capability to offer a reasonable level of configuration options.

The good Nvidia Ion graphics adds HD video and basic gaming functionality Reasonably priced High-def display The bad Annoying touch pad The netbook wars have heated up, with PC makers adding upscale features such as larger HD displays and faster low-voltage CPUs to systems in an effort to push prices up past the usual AU$599-$699 range. HP's Mini 311 packs in an 11.6-inch, 1366x768 screen, as well as Nvidia's Ion graphics chip, all at AU$899.

The good Simple user interface Artist-designed menu 3G connectivity Social-networking apps Attractive case with swappable cover Expandable memory The bad No Wi-Fi Basic features Flimsy Doesn't come with a memory card Editor's note: the INQ 3G Chat is not currently available through major carriers in Australia and as such no accurate recommended retail price was available at the time of writing.

The good Lightweight Bright touchscreen Social networking sites linked automatically Memory expandable via microSD The bad Feels cheap No 3.5mm input or headphone adapter No 3G Design and features Twinkle, twinkle, little star. The Samsung Star, that is, which is offered as a Virgin Mobile prepaid phone. It's a light and nimble creature, at just 93.8g and at first you almost expect the Star to have a slide out keypad given its svelte design and smooth curves

The good Outstanding design Responsive AMOLED touchscreen Speech-to-text integration throughout 4GB memory card in the box The bad Disappointing battery life Apps still install to internal memory rather than expanded memory Prettier than in pictures We heard you groaning the day Google announced the Nexus One: how could Google's iPhone -killer seriously be so bland? How could its two-tone grey chassis compete for a place in our hearts with the glossy Apple goddess

The good New Intel Atom processor Excellent build quality The bad Some basic options can quickly drive up the price Small touch pad As the sequel to one of our favourite all-round netbooks, the HP Mini 5102 has some pretty big shoes to fill. It wasn't HP's choice in components that we liked about its business line 10-inch system — after all, most 2009 netbooks shared a very uniform set of parts — it was the overall design and build quality of the netbook we liked.

The good Dual-core Atom processor Solid gaming graphics for a netbook Large screen Affordable for its features The bad Awkward touch pad Mediocre battery life Two trends have hit the netbook world recently: new Atom processors, and the spread of the Nvidia Ion GPU to finally give tiny Atom-powered notebooks some graphics muscle. Though the Asus Eee PC 1201N doesn't use a new "Pine Trail" Atom N450 processor, it instead has a rarely used dual-core Atom at its heart

The good Living-room-friendly design Better than nettop performance thanks to AMD CPU 802.11n networking rare at this price Easy to hook up to your TV via HDMI port The bad Integrated graphics chip chokes on HD and some standard-def video sources We've been excited to review the Dell Inspiron Zino HD ever since we first saw it at a preview event last August. An affordable, flexible, small-scale desktop, the Inspiron Zino HD seemed like a more accessible version of Dell's older Mac Mini -competitor, the Studio Hybrid .

The good Excellent keyboard Lots of included AV software It can be very, very pink Sony is honest about the battery life The bad It can be very, very pink Honesty about the battery life means it's not very good Design Sony sells the VPCCW15FG in three colours.

The good Low price Small footprint Stays relatively stable when shaken The bad No digital connection Disappointing game and movie performance The Dell IN1910N is an 18.5-inch monitor that's available online for AU$179. At that price, it's not surprising that it lacks connection options or any noteworthy features other than VESA mount support.
