26 Apr 2009 22:06:11 PDT

I still believe this is one of the best netbooks on the market and its keyboard is the best available, hands down (I will forget the smallish trackpad at this point.) So we know that AMD does not have a rival for Intel's Atom processor and won't have ... HP DV2 1003AX [Review] Techtree.com

Late last year, Dell introduced their Dell Inspiron Mini 12 netbook, which offers a 12-inch display and larger keyboard to boot. Asus is the next one on the 12-inch bandwagon, officially announcing their S121. And at CES we saw a “tweener” from HP with the AMD-powered dv2. More to follow on th...

Joanna Stern took a look at the first EeePC netbooks with touchscreens. The T91 (8.9 inches) and the T101H (10-inches) are convertible netbooks that look a lot different than previous Eee PCs. The 8.9 inch T91 is one of the most compact Eee PCs we have seen to date and at an inch thick and 2 pounds i...

On a performance level, the M1010 didn't stun us, but then, no netbook ever does. PCMark05 and 3DMark06 refused to run completely - again, a very common netbook woe - but the component level testing showed very little difference against other hard drive equipped netbook models. Certainly...

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Review

19 Nov 2008 12:50:00 PST

Written by Mark Wilson
Without opening the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 box, I would have expected exactly what I encountered—a solidly built system that shouldn't be running Vista. But even loaded with XP, and even in the $600 configuration that we'd recommend (1.6GHz Atom, 60GB hard drive, 1GB RAM and 6-cell battery...

Opinion: Dell Inspiron Mini 12 -- the big-screen, thin $599 netbook

27 Oct 2008 04:31:16 PDT

Written by Jack Schofield
The netbook designation was always a bit tricky, and it's hard to tell where the "under $600" Dell Inspiron Mini 12 fits in. As the name suggests, it has a 12.1 inch WXGA (1280 x 800) screen, where netbooks normally stop at 10.2 inches. However, like smaller netbooks, it has a cheap Intel Atom pro...
