Popular with hackers as cheap and useful computing toys, netbooks are also extremely useful as a secondary device or complement to a main setup, or as a lightweight machine to keep in a bag for easily accessible web browsing or note taking at all times; we also think they'd make great first computers for kids. Check out some of the currently available netbook options in the following comparator and let us know if we're missing your favorite.
