Best and worst tablet notebooks
- — 04 November, 2010 14:48
The tablet space may be currently exploding thanks to the popularity of Apple's iPad, Dell's Streak, the Telstra T-Touch Tab Android Tablet and Samsung's Galaxy Tab, but tablet-convertible notebooks have been around for many years and are a good tool for graphic designers and other professionals.
In this round-up we've included a selection of the tablet-convertible notebook PCs that we've reviewed since mid-2008. The most prominent manufacturer of tablet PCs is Fujitsu, but Lenovo, Dell, HP and Panasonic (with its Toughbook notebook PC) also play in this space.

The HP TouchSmart tx2-1000 Notebook PC is a good buy if you're a home user after a tablet PC. Its handwriting recognition is almost perfect, and it's comfortable to hold in the tablet position. We just wish it had a better mobile CPU and longer battery life.
