8. ASUS Eee PC 4G
Editors' rating: 7.5
The good: Small, light, and inexpensive; solid-state hard drive is fast and efficient; well-thought-out preinstalled software package.
The bad: Cramped keyboard; very little hard drive space; low screen resolution.
The bottom line: For less than $400, the Asus Eee PC 4G offers an impressive package for portable Web surfing and basic productivity, as long as you keep expectations tempered. The incredibly approachable price outweighs any shortcomings; it's a near-perfect choice for a highly portable second or backup laptop.
