- Samsung NC20
- Samsung's NC20 stands out from the crowd in two very important ways. First, it's one of only a handful of 12-inch Netbooks (the best-known example being Dell's Vista-addled Mini 12); secondly, it's the first laptop we've tested with Via's Nano CPU, intended as an alternative to Intel's popular Atom processor....

- Acer's Aspire 1410 is a notebook in a netbook's body
- We've seen netbooks such as the Dell Mini Inspiron 12 (R.I.P.) and Lenovo IdeaPad S12 in the guise of 12.1-inch ultraportables. Now Acer is trying the reverse--a notebook with the same display size as its Aspire One 751h netbook. Rumors about an Acer 11.6-inch laptop have been...

- Why not all 12-inch netbooks are the same
- I've been skeptical of 12-inch netbooks, especially as prices for real notebooks continue to fall fast. At that size, netbooks start to run up against laptops, so it's no surprise that the PC industry is feeling its way. Acer has been selling an 11.6-inch model since May, but Asus has...

- Acer Aspire One 751h-1545
- The definition of a Netbook keeps getting fuzzier around the edges, with displays growing from the original 7-inch designs, and the selection of CPUs expanding to include Intel, AMD, and Via. If we are to take 12-inch systems such as the HP dv2 and Samsung NC20 as Netbooks (we've so...

- 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...

- Living with a netbook: Toy or tiny notebook?
- There is no denying the popularity of netbooks, but there's still much debate about who's buying them and for what purpose. Netbooks were conceived for emerging markets--along the lines of the OLPC's XO laptop and Intel's Classmate PC--but they turned out to be more popular in developed countries. More recently,...

- The campaign for real keyboards
- The campaign for real keyboardsI think the sweet spot will be about 11 inch screens, which will leave roomfor a good keyboard. You could do that in a size a little bigger than the 9 inch Aspire One, if you eliminate the border around the screen. After getting used to...

- HP Pavilion Dv2
- When we first saw the 12-inch HP Pavilion dv2 at CES 2009, we noted that, "at first glance, another glossy HP laptop with an AMD processor may induce yawns, but when we learned this was the first system to use AMD's new Netbook-like Athlon Neo platform, our ears perked up."...

- First impressions of the HP Pavilion dv2 and AMD's "not-for-netbooks" Neo
- HP's latest ultraportable, the Pavilion dv2, is now available. Announced at CES in January, the dv2 is notable because it is part of AMD's strategy to counter Intel Atom-based netbooks with ultraportables that are closer in price to netbooks, but offer features more like full-fledged notebooks. To...
