    Considering hitting the shops at the weekend? Looking for inspiration? Check out the latest in our series of gadget mini-reviews, courtesy of silicon.com's sister site CNET.co.uk, the home of technology reviews. For the full review and details, click on the link below.

    What is it:
    12.1-inch netbook with Via Nano CPU

    Typical price:
    £390

    We like:
    High-resolution, 1,280x800-pixel display; ergonomic keyboard; good performance due to Via's Nano processor; long battery life; easily expandable memory

    We don't like:
    Reflective display with only average brightness

    The judgement:
    The Samsung NC20 performs significantly better than netbooks based on Intel's Atom processor, thanks to its Via Nano CPU. Together with a relatively large screen and excellent battery life, it's one of the best netbooks you can get
