Back in 2007, Clark was wowed by a tiny computer called the Asus Triple E PC. This "netbook" laptop was the size of a book and only weighed a couple of pounds. However, some of our show's staffers who used it found it to be clunky first-generation technology.

Now Clark's beloved netbook is being saluted by the June issue of Consumer Reports. An updated version of the Triple E PC ($330) makes a list of their selected best buys.

The netbook phenomenon has really caught on and there are a number of manufacturers in the market. $300 is a standard price point, though Clark expects that price will dip as low as $100-$175 by Christmas.
