Tablet PCs
Updated December 14, 2005

Tablets are retro tech: no keyboard is needed, just handwriting. Tablet PCs make it possible to navigate documents and Web pages and enter data using a stylus, and the upsides are numerous. You can write, rather than type, in a meeting; your handwritten notes are immediately digitized; and you can work more easily with drawings and other graphical objects. Whether you choose an ultraportable or a larger model, a tablet is sure to get approving nods in any executive conference room.

Review summary Lighter and smaller than the competition, the admittedly pricey Motion LE1600 is one of the best full-size slate tablets we've seen so far. First of the third generation of tablet PCs, the HP Compaq Tablet PC tc4200 convertible has a lot to like, from its top-shelf performance to its nearly five-hour battery life. It's expensive, but the Fujitsu LifeBook T4020 convertible tablet offers top-notch performance and an integrated optical drive in a lightweight case. Far heavier than traditional convertible tablets, the wide-screen Gateway CX200X adds pen functionality to a powerful midsize notebook. With the performance of a laptop in a lightweight case, the ThinkPad X41 tablet is one of the best convertible tablets we've seen.
