Best Netbook 2012

While the vogue is ultra thin and light Ultrabooks, not everyone has the budget to blow £700 on a laptop. If you’re looking for a portable PC to do the basics, which slips into a bag, you don’t have to spend big money. Netbooks may have had their day, but for many, they’re still excellent machines, which bring the portablity and versatility of an Android tablet, without the price tag.ASUS may have invented the original netbook with the Eee PC, but it was Acer who took the bull by the horns with its Aspire One series. This latest-generation Aspire One 522 weighs in at 1.2Kg, is the cheapest in our test and features a dual-core AMD C-60 1GHz processor.Like our other models, it also sports Windows 7 Home Starter. There’s a decently-sized hard drive at 320GB, for plenty of photos and music, and the screen size is the now-standard 10.1-inches but is bright and crisp.
