Giving a mighty bang for your minimal buck, Samsung’s NF110 notebook machine is a low-priced device that offers far more than its budget price tag would seem to allow.

Price: £299 | Samsung

Featuring a 10.1-inch LCD display with 1024x600 resolution, this slab of Windows 7-powered mega-VFM touts a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor.

With 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive, it's more than capable of handling the entry-level tasks you expect of a netbook/small laptop and at just 2.5cm thick and a mere 1.1kg in weight, it's easily portable.

Add a battery that lasts for well over eight hours per charge and you have a superb device for students, light home users and the cash-strapped.
