What is it:
10.2-inch netbook with 3D graphics capability

Typical price:
£400

We like:
Dual graphics mode; comfortable keyboard; storage capacity

We don't like:
It uses Windows Vista Business, which slows it down

The judgement:
It's difficult to pigeonhole the N10. It's small and cheap enough to be considered a netbook but it's also powerful and well-equipped enough to take on traditional ultraportables. Whatever you call it, it's undeniably a great piece of engineering that offers more possibilities for less money than its rivals. As long as this is around, there's absolutely no point buying something like an Eee PC 1000H or even a MacBook Air
