HP TouchSmart tx2-1000 Notebook PC

RRP: $1999.00

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.

Fujitsu LifeBook T2020 (3.5G)

RRP: $3899.00

The Fujitsu LifeBook T2020 offers reasonable performance, great battery life and excellent build quality. Built-in 3.5G connectivity makes the package even more appealing. It is a little noisy, tends to get warm and costs a pretty penny, however.

Fujitsu LifeBook T5010

RRP: $2999.00

The Fujitsu LifeBook T5010 is a relatively powerful notebook with the latest connectivity options and an above-average battery life. Unfortunately the unit's overheating detracts from what should be a strong performer.

HP Pavilion tx2600 (tx2613AU_01)

RRP: $2299.00

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.

Fujitsu LifeBook T1010

RRP: $2299.00

The Fujitsu LifeBook T1010 is a good tablet notebook that doesn't do enough to truly shine. A middling performance from the hardware and a few small nagging issues such as noticeable lag when using the pen on the screen detract from a versatile and attractive device.

HP Pavilion tx2522au (FK677PA)

RRP: $2299.00

For users wanting more than just a notebook, this tablet-convertible PC is well-priced and does a very good job of recognising handwriting, whether cursive or printed. But its battery life is no good at all.

VYE Computers Mini-V S37

RRP: $1759.00

It runs Windows Vista, has a large hard drive and is basically a full-blown computer that's about twice the size of a smartphone. It's perfect for anyone who is after a small tablet PC for under $1800.

Pioneer Dreambook Tough V10

RRP: $5533.00

If you need a device that can take abuse and you're not afraid to pay for it, the Pioneer Dreambook Tough V10 combines adequate processing capabilities and connectivity options with a rugged design. The unit is let down, however, by usability issues such as an inadequate keyboard and the lack of ExpressCard slots.

Dialogue Flybook V5

RRP: $3350.00

The tiny Flybook V5 is aimed squarely at the business user. It's very mobile, has 3G capability and it can function as a tablet PC. However, it's a hard-to-use laptop and it's missing some useful tablet features, such as a dedicated button for rotating the screen.

RRP: $4180.00

If you're a road warrior looking for an excellent unit that has the right balance of power and portability while offering all the latest connectivity, and you have enough money, then the Toshiba Portege M700 (PPM70A-0G301G) is worth considering.

Fujitsu LifeBook P1620

RRP: $2699.00

For mobile professionals who want to forget they're even carrying a tablet-convertible notebook, the P1620 is a valid candidate. It's not perfect, but it has enough features to be a useful office productivity tool while on the road.

Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 (3.5G)

RRP: $3299.00

For the travelling business professional, theT2010's 3.5G and tablet features, spill-resistant keyboard and overall build quality are strengths. It performs everyday applications and handwriting well, but it's has a few quirks.

NEC ShieldPRO

RRP: $5060.00

It's not pretty, it's not powerful, but it will take a beating. If you work in a dusty or damp environment, or in an area where knocks and bumps are common place, then a notebook of this calibre is clearly a good option.

Hewlett-Packard Pavilion tx2011AU Entertainment Notebook PC

RRP: $2199.00

A very good Tablet PC that won't blow your budget, but will provide decent performance with great functionality and stylish looks.

ASUS R2H UMPC

RRP: $1699.00

This good-looking and portable unit has all the features of a great Ultra Mobile tablet PC, but nowhere near enough power to make it happen. With functionality issues like screen resolutions resetting every log-in and the touch screen disabling after intensive activities, the end result is a $1,699 toy for those who appreciate style and don't need power.
