Title: HP 2133 Mini-Note PC
Pros: Gorgeous looks; fantastic keyboard; good connectivity
Cons: Slow performance; screen is too reflective to use outdoors

Summary: It was only a matter of time before the major laptop makers jumped on the Eee PC's low-price, diminutive bandwagon. Like the Eee, the HP 2133 is small, portable and affordable, but it has the bonus of being easy to use. It's underpowered, but the great ke

Title: HP 530
Pros: Decent performance; bargain price; nice design
Cons: Poor 3D and battery life; limited expansion; quite possibly the most awful touchpad in the world, ever
Verdict: Although it has a lowly specification, the HP 530 does the best with what it's been blessed with and can turn in some relatively impressive results. Its battery isn't up to life on the go, though, and its lacking in ports

Title: HP Compaq 6510b
Pros: Strong screen; Robust and resilient design; Good battery life
Cons: Unremarakable performance; Only 120GB storage
Verdict: As a corporate system, the stability and battery life of the Compaq 6510b set it apart from its rivals. However, better specified and more powerful systems can be bought for a lower price, so many buyers may feel short-changed if buying for home and famil
