Review summary Even though it looks like a toy laptop, the Micro Express NP6260 Rugged UltraLite hits some important high notes, packing a DVD burner into a 2.8-pound package for less than you'd expect. We don't know how Gateway makes money selling these things, but the combination of high-end components and low price makes the 17-inch Gateway P-7811FX the best mobile gaming deal going right now. Dell's entry into the Netbook market means it's time to take these low-cost, low-power PCs seriously. The Inspiron Mini 9 is an excellent example of the form, if not radically different from the competition. HP may have arrived late to the consumer Netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier. Two hours of battery life is simply not enough for the otherwise unobjectionable and basic Averatec Buddy Netbook.
