CNET reviews the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310 and writes, “Toshiba’s slick entry into the thin-and-light laptop world is timed for Windows 7, but if you’re going to get one, make sure it’s the dual-core T135-S1310, and not its single-core cousin. The good: Dual-core CULV processor; Windows 7 preinstalled; very good battery life. The bad: Weak speakers; uncomfortable touch pad.”

CNET editors’ rating: 3.5 stars Very good

LaptopMag reviews the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310 and writes, “There’s a lot to like about the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310WH. For slightly less money than many of its competitors, it offers better performance and style. The T135 isn’t perfect, however; we’re not crazy about the keyboard and touchpad, and while the battery life is long, other ULV notebooks last even longer. Overall, we prefer the ASUS UL30A because it lasts almost 10 hours on a charge, and offers better ergonomics and 180GB of more storage space for even less money ($679 street price). Nevertheless, the T135 is a strong choice for people looking for an inexpensive ultraportable.”

Pros
Attractive design
Fast performance for its class
Slightly less expensive than competing models
Strong wireless range
HDMI output

Cons
Stiff, narrow touch button
Long boot time
Weak speakers.

ComputerShopper reviews the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310 and writes, “Lightweight and comfortable, the Satellite T135 performs well for office apps, and its battery life is excellent. But its jerky video playback and wimpy audio make it a poor choice for media mavens.”

Pros
Lightweight; stylish; inexpensive; excellent screen; very good battery life.

Cons
Unresponsive touch-pad buttons; poor video playback, 3D performance; weak speakers.

CNET editors’ rating: 4.0 stars Excellent

NotebookReview has a review of the Asus UL30A and writes, “The ASUS UL30A-A1 is a very nice 13″ ultraportable notebook. The design is attractive and the construction of the body is great; with high quality materials used throughout. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, with excellent support to resist any flexing. Our battery test fell 2 hours short of the 12-hour claim, but it was still impressive at right under 10 hours. With a starting price of $799 it is priced above the Acer Timeline, but offers a faster processor and better battery life. Overall if you are looking for a super slim and lightweight 13.3″ notebook with great battery life, the ASUS UL30A is well worth checking out.”

Pros
Excellent battery life
Solid build and good looking design
Great keyboard

Cons
Display has limited viewing angles
Small AC adapter gets hot under stress

LaptopMag reviews the Asus UL30A and writes, “ASUS’ first entry into the ULV market provides a great balance between portability, power, and price. Though this notebook isn’t a multimedia powerhouse, it doesn’t need to be. Consumers who want a light, portable machine that won’t choke when taxed or die after a few hours without the power cord will appreciate this system. Though it isn’t as thin or as light as the MSI X340 ($699.99) (currently priced at $699), the UL30A easily outperforms it. The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810 is also a strong choice, and offers slightly better performance, but it costs $50 more and lasts about 2 hours less on a charge. The bottom line: At $799, the UL30A is a compelling value.”

Pros
Light, attractive design
Long battery life
Solid overall performance
Good keyboard

Cons
Poor graphics performance
Screen a bit too glossy

PCWorld reviews the Asus UL30A-A1 and writes, “All said and done, this machine a reasonably good package, but it is $800. You might find yourself asking if you want to get something that might not run as long, but have more muscle (like, say, Dell’s Studio 14z) or forgo a little bit of that power and save a few bucks with a plain ol’ netbook. But final judgments are pending: We still need to run the UL30A through our labs, and when that’s complete, we’ll come back with a full review.”

PCMag reviews the Asus UL30A-A1 and writes, “The ASUS UL30A-A1 is an amazing ultra-thin laptop that gives 10 hours of battery life for less than what everyone else is charging.”

Pros
Amazing battery life. Metallic design is gorgeous. 500GB of storage. Software over-clocking feature works well. Comes standard with huge battery. Lightweight. 4GB of DDR3 memory.

Cons
Available through e-tailers only.

Gateway’s LT3100 series netbooks are a bit larger than typical netbooks, but they pack 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel displays which help me foregive the extra size. The other thing that sets the LT3100 apart from pretty much every netbook on the market is the fact that it ships with an AMD Athlon L110 64 bit processor and ATI radeon X1270 graphics.

CNET reviews the Gateway LT3103u and writes, “The 11-inch, AMD-powered Gateway LT3103u does well on price and performance, but drops the ball on battery life when compared with the competition. The good: Feels faster than an Intel Atom Netbook, but keeps the price low; high-def display. The bad: Uninspiring battery life; terrible mouse buttons; no Bluetooth.”

CNET editors’ rating: 3.5 stars Very good

LaptopMag reviews the Gateway LT3103u and writes, “The Gateway LT Series represents netbooks’ first awkward steps into adolescence. With an 11.6-inch display, it’s almost as big as a traditional notebook, but while its AMD CPU is more powerful than Intel Atom chips, it still has a way to go before it can compete with ULV processors. But for now, the increase in power is not enough to overcome its lack of endurance when compared to the Acer Aspire One 751h, which is $50 less expensive, or the ASUS Eee PC 1101HA, which costs $30 more. Still, the LT3013u’s design and $399 price tag makes it attractive for those looking for a larger netbook with more grown-up specs.”

Pros
Stylish design
Comfortable keyboard
Better performance than Atom-based netbooks

Cons
Slow boot time
Short battery life
Lid attracts fingerprints

PCMag reviews the Gateway LT3103u and writes, “The Gateway LT3103u goes against everything that coined the term netbook, but you’ll like the price, 11-inch screen, and the full size keyboard.”

Pros
Eleven-inch widescreen is atypical of a netbook. Full size keyboard. Love the resolution. 2GB of memory. Big hard drive. Competitively priced.

Cons
Battery life falls short of its rivals. Design is generic. Windows XP Professional would?ve been a faster alternative to Vista.

ComputerShopper reviews the Gateway LT3103u and writes, “An Athlon CPU and aggressive pricing raise Gateway’s first netbook from “standard” to “standout.””

Pros
Excellent keyboard, touch pad; attractive design; some record-breaking benchmark-test scores; glare-resistant screen.

Cons
Battery doesn’t last long (and can get hot); no free Windows 7 upgrade; full-screen video streaming shows stuttering.

Weighing just 2.9 pounds, the Samsung GO N310 netbook is one of the lightest netbooks in its class and it’s loaded with the latest technology for maximum performance. Distinctively styled, it’s designed by award-winning Japanese artist Naoto Fukasawa and features smoothly rounded edges that resemble a pebble that’s been worn down by wind and waterfall and its cover has a rubberized surface that more durable and easy-to-grip. In addition to this model in midnight blue (N310-13GB), it also comes in three other colors: jet black, sunset orange and mint blue.

CNET reviews the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “Samsung brings a different look to a generic Netbook build with the N310, but is there any good reason this costs almost $500? The good: Unique, rugged design; excellent battery life.
The bad: High-end Netbook price, without the high-end extras.”

CNET editors’ rating: 3.5 stars, Very good

PCMag reviews the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “The Samsung Go N310-13GB has a well-thought-out design and a big battery, but its price needs to come down a bit more.”

Pros
Big battery. More than 9 hours of battery life. Rubbery design is unique. Very good typing and navigating experience. Edge-to-edge glass screen.

Cons
Slightly overpriced.

LaptopMag reviews the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “With the Go, Samsung has created one of the more attractive 10-inch netbooks on the market. Its compact build and peppy performance will provide the fashion-conscious a well-rounded package. However, its $449 price gives us pause. You can snatch up the Editors’ Choice-winning Toshiba mini NB205, which provides a larger touchpad and even better endurance, for $50 less. And for $50 more you can pick up the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (retailing for $499), which has a larger 12-inch display but less endurance. Still, if a combo of style and a long runtime is at the top of your mobile computing list, the Samsung Go is worth the splurge.”

Pros
Eye catching, compact design
More than eight hours of battery life
Roomy and comfortable keyboard
Fast boot time

Cons
More expensive than similarly configured netbooks
Ostentatious Samsung logo

TrustedReviews has a review of the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “While the unusual design of the N310 will win it friends, in most other respects it’s a decidedly average netbook with a relatively high price. If you fall in the love the look and don’t mind spending a few extra pennies then it’s still a nice machine, but there are plenty of cheaper or better alternatives.”

ITReviews has a review of the Samsung Go N310 and writes, “Overall, this is a good take on the near-standard netbook specification for mid-2009. It’s a touch more stylish than some business models, but you pay up to £50 extra when going for the Samsung option. Performance is as good as most of the rest, but battery life isn’t as impressive as we’d have liked.”
