Photos: 10 of the best mini laptops

From Acer to Toshiba, we've got the top netbooks nailed...

While the idea of a mini laptop may have been around for donkey's years, it was Asus' Eee PC that really reinvigorated the concept. The Eee was tiny, it ran Linux, it was cheap as chips and it was wildly popular - spurring the creation of the netbook phenomenon that we know today.

Netbooks have mushroomed since the Eee's launch in 2007, with electronics, PC and mobile makers everywhere getting in on the action.

With so many hardware options out there, choosing a mini laptop is a bit of a headache. But never fear, over the next 10 pages we've rounded up 10 of the best mini laptops on offer to make your decision a little easier...

    I am surprised that the Dell Mini 10v was not included... it's a great netbook!

    @David Rolfe - thanks for your suggestion re: Dell Mini 10v. Does anyone else have any netbook suggestions to add to the list?
