Acer Aspire 5612WLMi
4 out of 5 stars
|
"With a big hard disk, lots of memory and Windows XP Media Centre Edition, the Aspire is ideal for those who play media files. It's good, but not as impressive as the Asus F3F."

Asus F3F
5 out of 5 stars
"Budget Buy"
|
"The F3F's design, two-year warranty and long battery life make it a great choice. Acer's Aspire has a bigger hard disk, but this is the better inexpensive notebook for most users."

Asus F3JA
3 out of 5 stars
|
"The F3JA feels robust, can handle 3D games and has a good battery. Even at this relatively low price, though, its performance in Windows applications is disappointing."

Evesham Voyager C530
4 out of 5 stars
|
"If you need a powerful PC and never stray far far from a power socket, Evesham's Voyager is a good choice. However, PC Nextday's 55-7701 is more powerful and has a better battery."

Hi-Grade Notino D7000-01
3 out of 5 stars
|
"The D7000 faces stiff competition from the speedier Zoostorm and the F3JA's better battery life. It's a decent notebook with a great warranty, but the Zoostorm is a better buy."

HP Compaq nc2400
3 out of 5 stars
|
"It's slim and lightweight, but the nc2400's usefulness is limited by its disappointingly short battery life and weak performance."

MSI Megabook S262
5 out of 5 stars
|
"... we were impressed by its performance in windows and its long battery life. Although it's a little heavier than other ultra-portables in this group, it's a good buy."
|

|
PC Nextday Zoostorm 52-5601
4 out of 5 stars
|
"If you want to play 3D games on a budget, this is the one to buy. If not, Asus's F3F is better."
|
|
|
|
PC Nextday Zoostorm 55-7701
5 out of 5 stars
"Best Buy"
|
"The Zoostorm impresses with its fast processor and large screen but its keyboard and touch pad are only adequate. ..."

Rock Pegasus 665
4 out of 5 stars
|
"... the Pegasus is a good choice if you love to play 3D games. Its screen isn't good enough for tasks such as image editing, though, and its battery life is appalling."
|

|
|
Samsung Q35 Red
5 out of 5 stars
"Best Buy"
|
"The Q35 Red is an excellent ultra-portable notebook. It's small, light, powerful in Windows and has a good battery. It's our best buy."
|
|
|
|
Sony Vaio VGN-C1S/H
4 out of 5 stars
|
"... isn't as light as the other ultra-portable notebooks, and its battery life isn't great. Its larger display will suit some users, however, and it strikes a balance between portability and features."
|
|
|
|
Sony VAIO VGN-N11S/W
3 out of 5 stars
|
"Sony's Vaio VGN-N11S isn't suited to demanding tasks such as video editing or gaming. Its battery is good, but the cheaper Asus F3F-AP010H has a better battery and is slightly more powerful in Windows."
|
|
|
|
Toshiba Satellite U200-161
4 out of 5 stars
|
"Toshiba's Satellite U200 is attractive, affordable and sturdy. It's not particularly powerful, but it has a good battery and is ideal for working on the move. It needs a memory upgrade, though ..."
