Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook P1510
Score: 90% When: November 2005
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...

Lenovo ThinkPad X41 Tablet
Score: 83% When: June 2005 Worth: $1900
The Lenovo ThinkPad X41 is productivity first, and everything else second. A modest set of specifications and a small screen are both features which lend themselves well towards keeping size and weight down whilst still providing sufficient power for most usual tasks. Battery life, however, is only average considering the hybrid tablet nature of this convertible - and a compromise clearly made to keep size down. In the case of the X41, users also pay a slight premium to get the smallest convertible out there - but it's money well spent. More...

Acer TravelMate C200
Score: 82% When: December 2005 Worth: $1900
As tablet convertibles go, the TravelMate C200 is decidedly among the largest - yet also more powerful than most. Its innovative slider style design approach doesn't take a back seat to the typical swivel hinge, and an Nvidia-driven display combines with a snappy processor and generous storage to deliver a speedy - albeit heavy - user experience. As could be expected, its standard battery won't hold for long, but this niggle aside, the C200 would be an excellent choice for tablet users who favour power over portability. More...
