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.

This is a device that suffers from a slow processor, low battery life and strong competition from the identically priced Fujitsu T1010 and HP tx2522. If you're interested in a portable device with good connectivity features then have a look — just don't expect brilliant performance.
