Netbooks are all the rage at the moment, with many of us attracted by their cute designs and budget-friendly price tags. Netbooks are smaller, more portable and therefore more practical than a ‘proper’ laptop, although you will have to sacrifice scre...

The first Asus Eee PC was only released a little over 18 months ago, but given the sheer number of Small, Cheap(ish) Computers on the market you could be forgiven for thinking it had been around for much longer. HPs Pavillion dv2: AMDs Neo - not Inte...
For its £599 price tag, the dv2 offers a decent compromise between performance and affordability. Its also much more stylish than many machines at this price. It doesnt have the raw performance of a fully-fledged laptop, but it packs more punch than...

Since Asus first introduced the concept of the low-cost netbook, everyone who's anyone in the laptop business has jumped on the bandwagon. But the landscape has so far been dominated by Intel's Atom processor, with very little difference in performance...

AMD and HP have been wise not to call its latest collaboration a netbook. Why? Partly because it plainly isn't a netbook, it has a 1,280 x 800 resolution display, but mainly because, had they taken this view, we'd have probably told them to insert their n...

The HP dv2 notebook was on show at CES 2009, but with all the chaos going on we didnt pay it much attention. Today we got to glimpse its sleek shiny curves just before it goes on sale, and are pretty impressed.
