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.

  Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook P1510

Score: 90% When: November 2005 Worth: €2500 What: Ultraportable laptops, Ultramobile laptops

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.

  OQO 01+

When: April 2006 Worth: €2000 - €2600 What: Ultraportable laptops, Ultramobile laptops

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...
