- Sony Vaio X (VPC-X115KX/N Signature Collection, gold)
- Sony has thus far taken a position just adjacent to Apple's when it comes to the question of Netbooks. Rather than embracing these low-cost, low-power systems that have become incredibly popular with bargain-hunting consumers, Sony stayed out of the market initially. Its subsequent entries have skirted the outer edges of...

- Dell Inspiron 14 (Intel Core 2 Duo T6600)
- While many laptop buyers will gravitate toward specialty machines--such as a tiny Netbook for travel or a massive desktop replacement for gaming or video editing--there are still plenty of people who need a traditional midsize laptop. We call these 14-, 15- and 16-inch systems members of the "mainstream" category, and...

- In a world of ever-multiplying Netbooks and increasingly more versatile smartphones, it seems like there's been no better time than the present for ultraportable computing devices. Amid a landscape of larger, full-keyboard devices and smaller, pocket-size touch phones, the only question is whether there is room for the UMPC (or...

- Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook
- As a master of the build-to-order PC, it's no surprise that Dell has managed to create a reasonably customizable version of the Netbook. While most vendors offer them as one-size-fits-all solutions (or with only very minor options, such as color and hard drive), the Inspiron Mini 10 has plenty of...

- Cheaper ultraportables meet more powerful netbooks
- There are two ways to address the limitations of netbooks: 1.) offer less-costly notebooks, or 2.) give netbooks a little more muscle. Both are now happening. The ultra-thin laptops based on Intel's ULV processors or AMD's Athlon Neo are an obvious alternative to netbooks, and they've already...
