The netbook market is heating up for the summer and even more manufacturers are releasing their own netbooks to get a piece of the market. But you don’t have to guess too hard to find out what companies are dominating at the top of the game. HP, Toshiba, and Samsung have been consistently competing for the top spot in our charts. If you take a look at what these companies have to offer, you realize that their laptops are at the top of the line when it comes to performance, battery life, and weight.

Samsung GO N310-13GB

Samsung GO N310-13GB Netbook is Samsung’s most recent netbook. It comes with the standard features that you get with many other netbooks. But Samsung has the best battery life in the business, and the systems are well designed and very powerful. Samsung Go N310 is the closest a netbook comes to a regular laptop.

HP Mini 110-1030NR

HP Mini 110-1030NR Netbook is a very sleek HP netbook that is not only portable but also very good in power management department. HP netbooks are known for not being decent in that area, so it’s refreshing to see a model that can last you for more than a couple of hours.

Toshiba Mini NB205-N210

Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 Netbook is arguably the best netbook in the bunch. Not only it comes with the best features in the bunch, but it’s energy efficient as well. And who can complain about the battery life. It’s not that expensive either.

Overall, all these netbooks come with their strengths and weaknesses. Samsung GO N310 comes with the best design while Toshiba Mini comes with the best features. HP Mini is a decent laptop but it’s clearly the third best in this bunch. Samsung netbooks are a bit more pricey than their competitors but they do give you a good bang for your buck. Toshiba Mini and Samsung GO are both decent, but here is where design beats power.
