Android is definitely going from strength to strength finding its way on to ever more mobile phones from different manufacturers and other products such as the Archos 5 portable media player. Now, with the release of the Aspire One D250 we’re starting to see Android on netbooks too!

The Acer Aspire Revo is an ultra small form factor PC and is probably among the smallest we’ve seen. Combining the power of the NVidia 9400M Graphics Processor with the lean efficiency of the Intel N230 Processor, the Aspire Revo redefines compact, affordable computing with a package that is big on performance but miniscule in [...]

I think that it’s fair to say that Asus played a fairly big role in the success and popularity of the netbook PC over the past few years with the Eee PC 701 selling in such vast quantities that it was hard to get hold of in the early days. Now it seems that all [...]

Perhaps the one thing that makes the Aspire 4810T stand out from the rest of the crowd is the claim that the battery life is around 9 hours! Now we’ve all heard claims of exceptional battery life from manufacturers and they are often then subject to a caveat that it’s x hours of light use. [...]

The Viliv S5 is a pretty well spec’d MID/UMPC that looks a little bit like a smaller version of the Samsung Q1 (a little). There’s a 4.8″ WXGA touch screen (1024×600), 32GB solid state drive (128GB SSD coming soon), 1GB Ram, Windows XP, Bluetooth, WiFi and perhaps most notably, build in SiRF Star III GPS [...]

Here I unbox the Lenovo S10e, the 1.5GB Linux version which at the time of writing is retailing for £259.99 including the 6 cell battery, Bluetooth, Broadcom Wirless and other such lovely things!

In this video I unbox the Asus Eee Box B202 – the netbook without a screen!
This super slim box, which retails at £199 at time of writing from Argos.co.uk, features an Atom processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard disk, 802.11n WiFi and is EXTREMELY small and quiet, with only a 20W power drain!
It’s nice… [...]

In this video I unbox the new Samsung NC20 sort-of-netbook! I say sort of netbook because it has a 12″ screen and is £380 at the time of writing! It is powered by the new Via Nano processor, so is an interesting departure from the staple Atom based netbook design.
In the video I compare the [...]

There’s no denying the popularity of the  Net Book form factor at the moment with virtually all laptop manufacturers offering a mini laptop of some kind within their range. We’ve unboxed and reviewed a large number of these in the past from the trend-setting 7″ Asus Eee PC to the more recent 9 and 10″ [...]

The Samsung NC10 set new standards for engineering quality in the netbook market… and here I unbox a white example (of course)!
The NC10 is available for purchase from our partners Handtec!

Small pocket-sized computers running desktop-type applications and with a full suite of connectivity options. The M528 is a MID. Intel seems to be very keen about MIDs at the moment, and it seems that they are the next great thing. Mind you, Nokia has been quietly punting them out for a few years now in [...]

Here’s a demo of the Mugen Power 6600mAh battery running on the HTC Shift… just what it needs to be honest to boost it’s feeble capacity and batter life!

There are a lot of small form factor laptop and UMPC style devices finding their way on to the market at the moment, each of them hoping to be the next Eee PC. The problem is that many of them are simple copying the Eee PC concept and not putting a great deal of ‘new [...]

There’s a lot crammed in to the 2133, there’s a 120GB hard drive, 1GB RAM and an awesome 1280×768 display that has got to be one of the sharpest TFT’s I have ever seen!
The HP 2133 Mini-Note model in this unboxing video came with Linux pre-installed and it the nicest Linux implementation I have ever [...]

This is a video of me unboxing and firing up HTC’s Shift Windows Mobile / Windows Vista hybrid UMPC.

Here is a video of me unboxing the UBiQUiO 711 budget UMPC.

Here I unbox an 8GB version of the Eee 701 netbook, imported from Hong Kong no less.
Gotta love the white-ness!

The one that started it all, the good old Asus Eee PC 701!
Here I unbox the black model – who would have thought it would start the Netbook craze that it did!

The original Samsung Q1 was one of the first true UMPC devices to be released, it was an interesting product but was not without its problems, the main one being the input method which used on-screen dial keys which, coupled with the relatively low-resolution display, made the Q1 cumbersome to use.
Samsung have addressed these issues [...]

OQO revealed the Model 01 back in 2005 to great reviews and I can remember lusting after it at the time. I was really quite excited when the postie arrived with the package that contained OQO’s latest model e2, complete with its docking station.
The e2 as supplied was almost the top of the range model, [...]

This was the first time we’d looked at a Sony Ericsson smart device. I know earlier models such as the P900 were popular so it was time to see what all the fuss was about.
Alistair reviewed the Sony Ericsson P1i for us in October 2007
