The seven worst netbooks ever

Over the years, we've seen more netbooks than we care to mention. Some have been good, most have been mediocre, and a few have been so bad, so unpalatably awful, that they made us want to rip our own eyes out and turn our backs on technology for good.

Over the following pages, we'll identify the guilty machines, pull their tiny trousers down and expose why they're so awful. Hopefully, this guide can save you some cash, the embarrassment of being seen in public with any of the offending netbooks, and the bother of having to return them to the shops. 

Without further ado, let the countdown commence.
