Acer TravelMate C312XMi

RRP: $3499.00 $3299.00

Acer's TravelMate C312XMi is a great device if you're after a notebook first and tablet PC second. The relatively low screen resolution impedes its handwriting recognition.

Fujitsu LifeBook T4010

RRP: $3999.00

Fujitsu's flagship tablet has a number of clever features to help it appeal to the mobile crowd. A long warranty and good battery life make it ideal for a road warrior, but it's a little slow for the demanding power user.

Fujitsu Lifebook P1510

RRP: $2999.00

An ultralight tablet PC that is a little weak on character recognition, and too high on price.

Hewlett-Packard Compaq TC4400

Review Date: 25-SEP-2006

RRP: $3899.00

This unit doesn't come cheap and for the price you might expect better performance. However, its battery life was excellent and it's a well designed machine with good functionaility.

Toshiba Satellite R20

RRP: $3499.00

If you need a notebook that can also double as a tablet PC and won't be moving around too much, the R20 is a great choice.

Toshiba Portege R400 (PPR40A-00H00L)

Review Date: 09-FEB-2007

RRP: $3850.00

The Toshiba Portege R400 Tablet PC may carry a premium price tag, but it comes with some innovative new features and the promise of more still in later models. It's sturdy and lightweight, and looks stylish. Although it might be better to wait until the potential of this unit has been realised, it's still a top product and a pleasure to use.

Lenovo ThinkPad X60 (63638mm)

Review Date: 22-MAR-2007

RRP: $4299.00

For tablet users this small, light tablet PC will offer hours of casual usage away from a power source and will comfortably handle a good range of commonly used software. The standard ThinkPad chassis is rugged and is easy to hold onto. The 8-cell battery protrudes from the edge of the unit, which looks a little strange in notebook mode, but acts as a great grip when in tablet mode.

Hewlett-Packard Pavilion tx1000

Review Date: 09-APR-2007

RRP: $2299.00

Nicely designed and comfortable to use, despite the screen glare. Just be sure to pack the AC adapter.

LG C1-TB10A Express Dual

RRP: $3199.00

With its ultra low voltage CPU the C1 Express Dual offers little in the way of power, but is extremely portable with some good hybrid notebook and tablet features.

Fujitsu Lifebook T4220

RRP: $2999.00

The Fujitsu Lifebook T4220 is a powerful and responsive Tablet but the indoor/outdoor screen coating may irritate people who plan to use the device insode more than outside.
