A big problem with netbooks is that, no matter which manufacturer they're from they always end up being very similar. We were, therefore, incredibly pleased to see Gigabyte do something completely different with its Booktop M1022C.
From the outside you may be forgiven for thinking that this is yet another 10.1in notebook, but there's more than meets the eye. For starters, in the box you not only get the laptop, but a docking station, too. The netbook sits vertically in it charging, while the VGA, three USB, Ethernet and audio outputs means that you can turn the laptop on and use it with external peripherals. Failing that, you can just turn the laptop on and synchronise files to it over a network.
Gigabyte's thought carefully about the bundle and includes two power supplies in the box: one for the docking station and one for the netbook. There's even a slip case so that you can keep your laptop protected while you travel, and a soft cloth that protects the screen from the keyboard and can be used for cleaning.
