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.
9 / 17
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.
