Netbook death-match: Eee 901 vs. Acer Aspire One vs. Medion Akoya
These three netbooks are all available from supermarkets - but which is the best for you?
The netbook revolution is well and truly under way. But which is the best bargain on the shelf? And are they really a must-have bit of kit or are they a bit "emperor's new clothes"?
We've kindly gone to the trouble of testing out all the kit on the shelves at your local supermarket or high street emporium to tell you what tiddy 'puter you need to buy. Or not.
ASUS Eee PC 901
Love: The look, the decent battery.
Hate: The keyboard, the laggy trackpad, the screen.
Netbook jury says: A Fisher Price style computer for adults and children alike.
Buy it: £299 at Tesco
Acer Aspire One
Love: The styling, the colours, the keyboard.
Hate: Rubbish battery life.
Netbook jury says: At this price, the best on offer right now.
Buy it: From £198 at Tesco
Medion Akoya
Love: The comfy keyboard, the bright screen.
Hate: The battery, the bland design.
Netbook jury says: A decent mini-lappy for kicking back on the sofa.
Buy it: £279.99 from Sainsbury's

The Medion was a bit like getting into a hot bath after spending a day of being flagellated and humiliated
