Netbooks: Best Eee PC alternatives

Reviews Ideally, you should go for a machine with as large a keyboard as possible -- the MSI Wind and Acer Aspire One both have excellent keyboards, and their respective 10-inch and 9-inch displays lend themselves well to everyday use.

E-TEN Glofiish V900 review

Reviews Acer's purchase of handheld specialist E-TEN earlier this year has done nothing to stem the flow of devices, most of them impressively feature-packed. The spec sheet for the Glofiish V900 includes two noteworthy items: a digital TV tuner and an FM...

Acer Aspire 2930 preview

Reviews We've been rather taken with some of Acer's recent laptops, especially the Blu-ray toting 6920G, so when we were offered the chance to preview its latest machine -- based on Intel's brand-spanking-new Centrino 2 platform -- we jumped at it.

Eee PC 1000 review

Reviews It uses a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, plus 1GB of DDR memory -- much like the Eee PC 900, Acer Aspire One and MSI Wind. It's the most well-equipped -- and largest -- in the Eee series and has cast aside the usability shackles of its diminutive...

MSI Wind review

Reviews This provides enough room for around 20,000 MP3s or over 100 DivX movies, which is way more than the 40GB Eee PC 901 and 8GB Acer Aspire One. Also, there's no integrated 3G or WiMax capability -- as you get with an Acer Aspire One -- so you can't...

Acer Aspire One review

Reviews Acer says the Aspire One is not a laptop. By making the chassis wider than most netbooks, Acer has been able to incorporate a keyboard that's 95 per cent the size of a full laptop keyboard. Standard storage levels aren't great -- just 8GB of NAND...

Acer Ferrari 1100 review

Reviews Both Acer and AMD sponsor the Ferrari F1 team, so every now and again they buddy up to produce a Ferrari-themed laptop. There's also a spacious 250GB hard drive and despite the laptop's small size, Acer has managed to squeeze in a slot-loading dual...
