Nokia N810 Internet Tablet
A stylish mobile way to access the web, but it’s crying out for mobile data capability.

Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet
Well built and with astonishing battery life to boot. It’s pricey but decent value.

HP Compaq tc4400
The best convertible tablet we’ve seen great performance and great design at a decent price.

Samsung Q1-SSD
Despite the improved specifications, the Q1-SSD is anything but mobile computing nirvana.

Sony VAIO VGN-UX27GN
Speedy and adequately functional for light use, the UX27– though not perfect – is the best UMPC yet.

Toshiba Portégé M200
When we ran four tablet PCs in December 2002 (Issue 61, page 36) we got plenty of response from readers looking to find out more about them. Over a year on now and tablets have increased dramatically in spec and design although pricing hasn’t reduced as much as we’d expected - possibly since they still haven’t made mass market appeal and sales.

ACER TRAVELMATE C111
Acer’s tiny new Tablet PC, the TravelMate C111 marries the functionality of their previous convertible tablet with the low-power high-performance functionality of the Intel Centrino.

Viewsonic V1100
Although the Tablet PC was launched with much hype and fanfare, many media outlets have been sceptical as to the validity of the technology. However, the experience delivered by using a Tablet PC firsthand, for any length of time cannot help but impress. I myself went from cynical observer to total convert after trialling three tablets.

Toshiba Portege 3500 Tablet PC
As far as Tablet PCs go, the only indication that the Portege 3500 is one, and not a notebook, is the solid stainless steel and magnesium hinge centered under the display. This is the single point for rotating and flipping the screen over and down, and it locks into place with a satisfying 'snick'. It's a much better work-around than the hinge and locks used by the Acer TravelMate C100.
