Back in the days, quickly after the 10 inch netbooks became popular, many realized that they are too small and underpowered for most of the everyday tasks. Something with just a little bit larger screen, increased resolution, better keyboard/touchpad and more powerful hardware was needed, without eating too deep into the battery life. Thus, the [...]

My main laptop has been a 12 incher for nearly two years now and I believe that you’ll find the best balance between speed and portability in this size class, as 12 inch laptops are still compact and light enough to easily carry around, but also large enough to pack a decent keyboard and powerful [...]

Netbooks and mini laptops are quite popular these days and manufacturers try to keep up with the demanding users and come up with better models around the clock. Sure, you’ll always find entry level netbooks that are very cheap and can deal well with basic tasks, such as browsing, word processing, watching some movies, etc. [...]

With so many new netbooks entering the market these last weeks, it was finally time for a new list with the best netbooks in the 10 inch class, based on my personal experience with them and reviews from buyers all around the world.

Bulky desktop computers are getting less and less popular every year. Nobody wants to have a huge case and a power-hungry PC in the house anymore, unless they need such a power-horse for work or leisure (gaming).

Budget, affordable, cheapest – those are words in our minds when trying to buy something these days.

I noticed many of you guys are asking about netbooks with internal DVD optical drives. However, this feature is missing on 99% of the available netbooks, ultrabooks and mini laptops these days. Because these computers are so compact there’s simply not enough space to put a CD, DVD or Blu-ray unit inside. But, don’t worry, [...]

Having a touchscreen on your mobile computer can be very useful. It makes surfing around way easier, web-browsing more fun and intuitive, can help you take hand written notes, etc. Of course, all these if the touch display used on the machine is accurate and reliable. Such laptops with touch-screens that can be easily swiveled, [...]

Most netbooks come with a 10 inch screen, which also means that the keyboard panel, which has to fit the display perfectly, will have to be cramped in a rather tiny space. Don’t let spec sheets or marketing stunts fool you, as most keyboards are not “comfy” and the 93% or 95% of Full-Size ratio [...]

As many other gadgets out there, netbooks and mini laptops are produced by manufacturers with specific audiences in mind. Mainstream and business- these are the two main categories that come in mind when we think about netbooks. You could argue that “gaming” and “luxury” are also categories, but I see them more as subcategories of [...]
