10 May, EU Edition Tired of lugging around laptops the size of a fold-up table? Take a walk on the wild side with one of these ultramobile PCs - some of which are nearly small enough to pocket. More...
2 May, EU Edition Fujitsu Siemens' LifeBook P1510, OQO's 01+ and Toshiba's libretto U100 butt heads as we round up three of the smallest PCs (a lot of) money can buy. Hint: there's such a thing as too small screens. More...
2 May, World Edition You don't get PCs smaller than this: the 14-oz OQO 01+ boasts Windows XP Tablet PC 2005 on a 5-inch touch screen, a 30 GB hard drive, thumbboard, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. A review by Jørgen Sundgot. More...

31 Jan, World Edition Honey, have you seen my laptop? Jørgen Sundgot makes a frantic bid at retrieving Toshiba's miniscule libretto U100 ultraportable in time for his deadline. Maybe it's in the other pocket? More...
15 Jan, World Edition No larger than an oversize paperback, Fujitsu Siemens' LifeBook P1510 convertible ultraportable tablet has Jørgen Sundgot slobbering like he's rarely done before. More...
Sacrificing power on the altar of mobility, Fujitsu Siemens has obviously been forced to cut a few corners to render the LifeBook P1510 as small as it is. A slightly dated chipset, modest hard drive speeds and a maximum of 1 GB of RAM limits the potential of this tablet convertible to productivity applications - a test for which it passes with flying colours. The P1510 is a superb choice for the road warrior for whom brain matters more than brawns; hopefully, the former will have earned him or her the wallet needed to allow for its acquirement. More...
As impressive as the Toshiba libretto U100 is from a technological point of view, an admittedly superb screen and a cramped keyboard prevent the exploitation of its full potential. Good performance, better battery life and excellent connectivity make the U100 a solid choice for light productivity work on the go, whilst the whopping 60 GB hard drive alleviates the need for lugging its dock to play DVDs for entertainment - but prospective buyers should keep in mind the extent to which they will be able to use the features for which they pay.

Despite its considerable technological prowess, the OQO 01+ makes a spectacular fall between two chairs. As compared to high-end business phones, the added functionality on offer is too restricted by poor data entry, a mediocre screen and limited battery life to justify the added bulk and hefty price tag. Meanwhile, converting the unit into a full-blown laptop is a cumbersome process which leaves the user with far less horsepower than a comparably priced laptop. This is an expensive executive toy - albeit a resoundingly impressive one. More...
