Acer Aspire 531
A familiar brand and strong computing pedigree means that the Acer Aspire 531 gets off to a flying start.
This is a slimline 10-inch device that packs a performance punch thanks to the Intel Atom N280 processor, making it ideal for mobile computing needs.
Connectivity is at the forefront, with WiFi, three USB ports, VGA output, ethernet and, quirkily, a brace of card slots.
A 160GB hard drive along with 1GB of RAM means the Aspire 531 isn't at the top end of the netbook tree, and battery life isn't overly generous either, but it is very light at around 1 kilo.
