BenQ Joybook Lite U101

RRP: $699.00

BenQ's Joybook Lite U101 is easy to upgrade and is worthy of consideration if you're in the market for a netbook.

Lenovo ThinkPad T400s

RRP: $3599.00

Despite the slow wireless networking and the lack of a dedicated graphics card, the 14.1in size, light weight, thin frame and advanced features combine to make the Lenovo ThinkPad T400s the perfect laptop for corporate high-flyers. We give it 5 stars and heartily recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a well-performing and solidly constructed slim-profile notebook.

Fujitsu M2010

RRP: $749.00

The Fujitsu M2010 has a sturdy build and comfortable keyboard, and good battery life but we'd like an ExpressCard/34 slot and the higher resolution screen found on the M1010 netbook. It's a stylish netbook with a bright screen that you can comfortably use outdoors and on the road and it does come with a better warranty than other netbooks on the market.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA (SBLK01)

RRP: TBA

If you're a traveller, the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA (SBLK01) is perfect for you: its battery lasts a long time (up to five hours in out tests), it's fast, and it has a 160GB hard drive for you to store your photos. But really, anyone who wants class-leading performance should consider it.

Toshiba NB200 (PLL25A-00D002)

RRP: $899.00

The Toshiba NB200 (PLL25A-00D002) is a little expensive, but it's well built, performed well in our tests, and has unique features such as hard drive protection and Sleep-and-Charge USB 2.0 — you can charge your iPhone while you're on the road! It's the nicest looking netbook on the market and it has a great keyboard. The only drawback is that it gets a little hot.

MSI X340

RRP: $1499.00

The MSI X340 is one of the best ultraportable notebooks on the market and should be a desirable option for anyone who wants something very light and affordable, yet bigger and easier to use than a netbook. It still doesn't have as much power as a non-ultra-thin notebook in the same price range, but with the X340 it's all about the light weight and ease of use, and having enough power to undertake tasks that aren't too intensive.

MSI Wind U123T

RRP: TBA

The MSI Wind U123T is a fine netbook for travellers, students and TV junkies. It ships with a digital TV tuner that lets you record programs onto the netbook and then watch them while on the road. It's also useful for typing documents, viewing photos and listening to music.

Samsung N120

RRP: $899.00

Samsung's return to the notebook market after two years is a successful one, at least in the netbook category. The Samsung N120 is well built, has an outstanding keyboard and great battery life. It’s a little expensive when you consider that some similar machines can be bought for a few hundred dollars less, but we have no problems recommending it if you are after a compact, comfortable and sturdy netbook.

Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 (3.5G)

RRP: $3999.00

The Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 (3.5G) notebook is a good looking, lightweight and feature-rich laptop that is best suited to users who work frequently while travelling. At $3999, it's slightly better value than the Toshiba Portege R600, but we think the Fujitsu would be improved by a solid state drive and wider keys.

Dell Latitude 2100

RRP: $787.00

Armed with an Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1.5GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive, the Dell Latitude 2100 performs well. Thanks to its 6-cell battery it also lasts a long time away from an outlet. It's a comfortable netbook to use and its rugged design should help it withstand inadvertent knocks and drops, as well as accidental spills.

ASUS Eee PC 1004DN

RRP: $1399.00

The ASUS Eee PC 1004DN has plenty of style, good ease of use, an expansion slot and a DVD burner, so it is suitable for business users as well as home users. It is especially useful for people who are constantly working on the road and need a tool for running presentations, creating documents and Web browsing.

Toshiba Portege R600 (PPR61A-00400R)

RRP: $4125.00

The Toshiba Portege R600 is the ultimate ultraportable laptop for a user who's constantly on the move. It's extremely light and strong, and it has a built-in optical drive and all the ports you're likely to require.

HP EliteBook 2530p

RRP: $3299.00

Small, strong and well-featured, HP's EliteBook 2530p is an ideal choice for business users who want something that will withstand the rigours of travel and last a long time away from a power outlet.

MSI Wind U120

RRP: $749.00

The MSI Wind U120 netbook looks good, performs as expected, has a good amount of connectivity, and its keyboard is close to perfect. We only wish the period and comma keys were bigger and that the balance of the unit was better. If you can live with the poor balance and undersized period and comma keys, then there's no reason why you should not buy this netbook.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HE

RRP: $899.00

ASUS' Eee PC 1000HE isn't a groundbreaking upgrade but the extra battery life is definitely welcome. The keyboard will divide people and the touchpad is a mixed bag, but this netbook is still a worthy option if you're after something light and functional.
