Cheap Mini Notebooks

What we know is that the cheap mini notebooks name has been given to small (9 or 10-inch) laptops with low-end components like Intel’s Atom CPU, GMA950 graphics and up to 1 gig of RAM. They also ship with either Linux or Windows XP Home.

Asus Eee PC 900: These cheap mini notebooks earned a PCW Rating of 71 (Good). With the PC 900, Asus bumped up the screen size to 8.9 inches and added Windows XP. You can buy a Linux version with 16GB.
Hewlett-Packard 2133, cheap mini notebooks: This model was among the first mini notebooks from a major computer maker. HP's entry comes preloaded with either Linux or Windows Vista Business (which isn't ideal for such underpowered systems). When you order a Vista system, you can downgrade to Windows XP, meaning XP will be preinstalled but you'll also get Vista install discs. The Mini-Note also includes an Express Card slot.
Acer Aspire One: Acer's entry into the cheap mini notebooks market has one of the most comfortable keyboards for touch typing in this product class, says our reviewer, Darren Gladstone, who gave it a PCW Rating of 80 (Very Good). I'd agree, based on some limited hands-on experience I've had with the Aspire One. The 8.9-inch screen mini-notebook comes in three colors, and runs on either Linux or Windows XP.
MSI Wind NB U100: The Wind offers one of the largest screens of any cheap mini notebooks (10 inches, 1024-by-600 resolution). It also has a reasonably comfortable keyboard, as reviewer Darren Gladstone discovered, though not quite as good as the Aspire One's.
Dell Inspired Mini 9: Dell's tiny Inspired is probably the most configurable cheap mini notebooks available now. You can choose between Webcams with 0.3 or 1.3 megapixels, for instance. That's no surprise, given Dell's tradition of letting customers customize systems online. Like the Aspire One, the Inspired Mini 9 lets you use an SD card as an extension of the machine's internal storage-a good thing, given current models max out at 16GB solid-state drive. Our go-to-guy for mini-notebook reviews Darren Gladstone says the Inspired Mini 9 offers a terrific design at a good price.

Lenovo Idea Pad S10: Lenovo's offering won't be available in the U.S. until October. The Idea Pad sold in the U.S. will come with Windows XP only, though buyers in other countries can choose between XP and Linux. It will have an Express Card slot, come in three different colors.
