Intel NUC June Canyon, 577gm
At a barebones price of around $120 the latest Intel NUC sounds attractive but you'll need to add SSD, RAM and an OS before you can use it. Low power consumption means it has industrial uses. The most common use for Intel NUCs is for media player / home theater HTPC units. (E.g. Kodi)
Microsoft Surface Book 2, 1530gm
Solid, well-supported convertible. This dual-core 2-in-1 has been a solid performer in our experience. The pen works flawlessly and there's great battery life. It's not ultra, ultra mobile when docked as it has the bulk and feel of a standard laptop but in the Intel-only version (no discreet graphics) the tablet can work on its own as a powerful touch-enabled tablet PC.
Xiaomi Mi Air 13, 1300gm

The cpu options start at a Intel Core i3-6100U Skylake with choices up to the i7-6600U available.
Asus ZenBook UX501, 2270gm
For a 15.6 inch laptop it's light at 2.27kg for the 6 cell battery model and thin at 21.3mm, however one of the accessories might be a trolley, so for a desktop replacement it certainly fits the bill. It does have a monster 4K/UHD 3840x2160 pixel IGZO IPS touchscreen display (282ppi) powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 2G or 4G GDDR5 VRAM and a Core i7 4720 processor that starts at 2.6Ghz and turbos up to 3.6Ghz.

Promoted as a business ready 10.1" tablet with full PC experience with the latest Atom Cherry Trail CPU it's very light at 617 grams and also versatile in that it adapts for work, home, or mobile use, by having usage modes such as laptop, desktop, tablet, or in a stand mode. Notable optional extras are a digitizer pen and a 4G LTE module. The inference from the TechRadar.com hands-on is that it is not fanless - in comparing with a competitor the Dell 11 Pro 7000 series (7140 I guess)
Hisense Chromebook, 1040gm
The Hisense Chromebook is a budget device with just enough going for it inside to provide reasonable performance with its Chinese made Rockchip ARM processor.

Dell XPS 13 (2015), 1180gm
The new Dell XPS 13 with 5th-Gen Core (Broadwell) is undoubtedly a stunning looking device but if you take a closer look you?ll see the stars aligning for what could be the best Ultrabook ever. You?ve got no-touch options starting at $799 and, if you dare, a QHD+ (3200 x 1800) touch option with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and a Core i7 for just $1599. All models have AC WiFi, Sync and Charge USB, DisplayPort, backlit full-size keyboard and a precision touchpad which has already had good feedback from The Verge. Even fully loaded the XPS 13 weighs just 1.26KG (2.8 lbs) and the best thing is that it?s got a 54Wh battery inside that?s going to power this Ultrabook for a hard day?s work. Trust me, I?ve had the same setup on a Haswell ultrabook and you really can leave the power adaptor at home. If the battery life isn?t enough for you there?s an external power pack available, the 12,000 mAh (possibly 44Wh) Dell Power Companion, that will boost battery life by up-to 7 hours. hip dates for the XPS 13 are 22nd Jan (Core i3) and 28th Jan (Core i7.)
Acer Chromebook 15, 2200gm
Acer are offering the Chromebook 15 with a 5th-generation Core i3 or Celeron 3205U processor based on the same architecture. The standard model comes with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and the 1366 x 768 pixel display. 4GB RAM and 32GB storage will be an option. The weight of the Acer Chromebook 15 is 2.2KG making it the heaviest Chromebook on the market but until another 15-inch option comes along (we?re expecting more than one competitor to appear over the next months, if not the next few days) there?s no real comparison. In terms of performance over the 4th-generation processors we?re not expecting a huge leap. The move to a 14nm process saves energy and allows Turbo Boost (where available) to operate for longer and there could be an improvement in the GPU, but don?t expect massive changes. Video playback battery life might get a boost through the new on-board audio decoder that?s in the Core i3 at least.
ASUS Zenbook UX303LA, 1450gm
The ASUS Zenbook UX303LA is a new 13.3" Laptop based on Intels latest Broadwell processor architecture. As one of the first Broadwell processors this devices supports DirectX 11.2, however this laptop is not supposed to be a serious gaming machine. At 1.45kg it weighs in the normal range of 13.3" devices. The IPS display features a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. 256GB of SSD should serve for both sufficient amount of storage but also fast boot times. WiFi AC and Bluetooth 4.0 should offer good wireless connections. In terms of ports there is HDMI, mini displayport, SD card reader, combined mic and headphone jack as well as 3 USB 3.0 ports. 50Whrs of battery should serve for a decent batterylife. A backlit keyboard is included.

The CTL NL6 Education Chromebook is a Chromebook built for school environments. It is powered by a quadcore Intel Celeron N2930 supported by 4GB of RAM and 16GB of SSD storage.

The 14" Display unfortunately just comes with a 1366x768 resolution. The device contains a 51Wh battery. The bigger size comes down to a heavier weight of around 1.85kg.
HP Chromebook 11 G3, 1280gm
The HP Chromebook 11 G3 comes in some different variations. There is an 4G option available. All models feature a USB 3.0 port and a standard 2.0 port.

It is powered by Intels Celeron N2930 Processor clocked at 1.83GHz and comes with 4GB of RAM. 16GB of built in flash-storage are okay for ChromeOS, however we would have loved to see a 32GB version of it aswell. Wifi AC and Bluetooth 4.0 are handy features for connectivity.
Acer C720 Chromebook, 1360gm
The Acer C720 Chromebook is based on Intels Haswell platform and offers battery life of up to 8.5hrs. Note there is a version with 32GB of SSD Storage also available.

Emdoor EM-i8080, 355gm
The Z3735G is a 4-core CPU running at 1.33Ghz to 1.8Ghz which isn’t bad. There’s little in terms of disk space though – 2GB available to the user on the system shown in the video below although we’re sure the device will ship with a few more than that.
ASUS NX500, 2400gm
We’ve never seen an Ultrabook with these specs before. The Asus NX500 Ultrabook was announced yesterday and it proves how far Ultrabook specification can be pushed. The NX500 is targeted squarely at creators and gamers and is one of the most impressive-looking Ultrabooks we’ve ever seen. No, this is not ultra-light, unless you want these specifications in a Windows laptop, and then it is!
HP Pavillion X2 13, 2218gm
The HP Pavillion X2 13 is a 13.3" dockable tablet that weighs 1.07 kg with a dockable base unit. The IPS display offers a resolution of 1366x768 pixels and is powered by the Intel HD 4200. The processor is a 4th generation Intel Core i3-4020Y with 1.5Ghz.

So the Acer Aspire S3 got a refresh. Design changes over the original S3 include a flat-folding screen and a more rounded style. A backlit keyboard, FullHD IPS touchscreen and Gorilla glass screen protection, 1TB ultra-thin (7.2mm) drive and WiDi support (as all new Ultrabooks) are in the specifications (see below for full specs). Highlight of the package is an Nvidia GeForce GT 735M graphics which should give you playable access to almost any game on the market.
Sony VAIO Flip 13, 1310gm
The Sony VAIO fit is a interesting Convertible Laptop. At 1.3kg with a 13.3" Screen you can use the touchscreen comfortably at your lap. It has an optional active digitizer, which is not included at default. The touchscreen registers up to 10 fingers. We like the Full HD resolution aswell as the 8GB of RAM. It features a dual webcams - a 8MP camera on the back and a not further specifed HD Webcam on the front. Note that the screen uses the so called 'Triluminous Display' technology for richer colours and contrasts.
Toshiba Kirabook 13, 1347gm
The Toshiba Kirabook 13 has a pressed magnesium chassis which gives it it's premium look. With 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 4500U with 1.8Ghz it sports some serious hardware. 256GB of SSD storage should both be sufficient and fast for quick bootups and resume from standby. Toshiba claims a battery life of up to 9.16h, which should be enough for everyday usage scenarios. What we like is the multitouch screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels.
HP SlateBook 14, 1700gm
A maximum of 64GB of storage is good (16 and 32GB also listed in the specifications) and when you pair that with 9 hours battery life, the dynamic OS that many many people know and love from their smartphones, a fullHD touchscreen, three USB ports, a MicroSD slot and HDMI you have indeed got something unique. We assume the Nvidia Tegra 4 processor is fanless too. Try getting FullHD on 14-inches with an SSD in the Windows PC world for $400!
Dell Inspiron 11 3000, 1392gm
This Inspiron 11 3000 is a convertible laptop that uses a fold-back screen hinge to provide stand and tablet modes. The 11 3000 runs on Baytrail CPUs with hard drive options (no SSD) and a basic 1366x768 screen. The product will compete with the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 and pricing appears to be similar.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 13, 1600gm
Lenovo ThinkPad T400s, 1770gm

Fujitsu LifeBook U904, 1389gm
HP SlateBook X2, 1247gm
HP Pro X2 410 G1, 830gm
The HP Pro X2 410 G1 (also available as a consumer model HP Pavilion 11 X2) offers a fanless Core i5 CPU in an 820 gram tablet with an 1..6-inch IPS screen. It's a good set of specifications but do not that the CPU is the Y-variant (max 2.0Ghz clock) and that the screen res is only 1366x768. It's an interesting 2-in-1 with a nice keyboard and good total battery life but this business focused 'Pro' version is quite expensive.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3, 800gm
Microsoft have taken the Surface 2, increased the screen size an reduced the weight making it a leading example of tablet engineering. The 12-inch, 800 gram tablet won't be aimed at casual users but with the included digitizer it will appeal to creative types. Pricing matches its pro-level specifications. Starting at $799 it's 'accessible' but if you're looking at 8GB RAM, Core i5 and 128GB of SSD you'll be forced to take the 256GB model at $1299. Great engineering and a perfect device for a lot of creatives but not exactly your mainstream laptop-replacement, especially as similar performance can be had in an Ultrabook for a much lower price.
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14, 1990gm
Toshiba Satellite U50t, 2400gm
Lenovo Ideapad Flex 10, 1200gm
The Lenovo Ideapad Flex 10 mini-laptop offers touch, a good keyboard, USB3.0 and a multi-mode screen for a good price. There's no SSD inside, no SD card slot and a relatively basic screen but for the price this is a good value Windows 8 laptop in a netbook style.
HP Pavilion 11 X2, 1580gm
Toshiba Satellite Z30t, 1180gm
Toshiba Portege Z30t, 1200gm
Toshiba Portege Z30t is a laptop with a 13.3" non-touch screen technology and 1366x768 pixel resolution based on the Intel Haswell hardware platform.

There's also Wi-Fi 802.11 ac included for a faster internet conection and Bluetooth 4.0, but there's no 3G or 4G option. It's worth a look if you want a good laptop for every day use and, on some degree, to play games.
Medion Akoya P2212T, 840gm
This model is being offered around the world for a very acceptable price. The best variant, with the N2920 and 4GB RAM) should satisfy most consumer computing needs and the full HD display is a real bonus. The tablet is a little heavy but as a computing package there's a lot of value in this 2-in-1
Fujitsu Lifebook T904, 1500gm
The Fujitsu Lifebook T904 is a touch-enabled Convertible Ultrabook based upon Intel's Haswell architecture. It features a Core i5-4200U with a clock of 1.6-2.6 GHz and up to 8GB of RAM.

There are plenty of options to choose from, such as optional 3G/4G with GPS included, other storage options or processors ranging up to an Intel Core i7-4600U. It also features vPro for businesses. We like the dual input touchscreen with it's Digitizer that comes with it.
Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, 1400gm
The Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro is markedly thinner and lighter than the Yoga 13 that started this 360-degree fold-back segment. An incredibly high resolution screen is the highlight. MicroHDMI and only two USB ports are disappointing. Great keyboard and battery life.
Lenovo Yoga 2 11, 1388gm
A Baytrail-powered (Pentium branded) Yoga that comes at a launch price of $529 could appeal to those looking for an Ultrabook-style 2-in-1 but not needing the high-end features and price.
Sony Vaio Fit 11A Flip, 1279gm
Sony have an impressive set of specifications here. FullHD screen, back-lit keyboard, NFC, 128GBSSD and a CPU that should satisfy most home and small business needs. To top it off Sony have added a digitizer pen and are offering Photoshop Elements 12 in some packages.
ASUS Transformer Book Duet TD300, 1900gm
The ASUS Transformer Book Duet TD300 is, at launch, unique. The 'worlds fastest' Android tablet and a 4-second switch between Android 4 and Windows 8.1 on the same processor. Starting price at $599.
Lenovo Thinkpad X240, 1460gm
The Lenovo Thinkpad X240 is a fine long-duration compact traveler with build quality and great working fascia. The change to buttonless touchpad might disappoint those coming from the previous Thinkpads. Hot-swap battery with sizes up to nearly 100Wh, many security options and docking-port capable. A classic Thinkpad.
Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, 1474gm
Dell Latitude E7440, 1630gm
Fujitsu Stylistic Q584, 640gm
Clearly aimed at business markets but offering some ofthe best specifications we've seen on the first wave of Baytrail tablets. 4G, 640gm, IGZO 2650x1600 screen, Digitizer and a built-in 38Wh battery are all high-end.
HP Omni 10, 652gm
The HP Omni 10 offers full-HD resolution on a 10-inch tablet in just 650 grams - a big step forward for Windows tablets. The entry price of 399 Euro is a step forward too.
Sony Vaio Tap 11, 780gm
The Sony Vaio Tap 11 is, at launch, the lightest 4th-Gen Core-based tablet available although models start with a slightly cut-down Pentium version. Great screen, included keyboard, 3G/LTE options and a good entry-level price.
Microsoft Surface Pro 2, 907gm
ASUS T100, 544gm
One of the first 2-in-1's on Baytrail architecture. It's a lightweight product with a very usable tablet section. With the price at $345 (32GB at launch. $399 for 64GB storage) it could be a very attractive and highly dynamic tablet/PC combo.
Google Chromebook Pixel, 1520gm

The Dell XPS 11 is a foldable Windows 8 laptop-hybrid like the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11. With a 360 degree foldable screen it can be used either in laptop or tablet mode. At just around 1,1 kg it is pretty light to carry around in a bag. Something we like to mention is the 2560x1440 pixels resolution display Dell packed in there. With an not Intel Core i5 Haswell processor it should be capable of handling all office cases one could imagine, plus some basic level gaming.
Fujitsu Lifebook UH90, 1387gm
The UH90′s centerpiece of course is its screen, with its heady resolution of 3200 x 1800 providing a pixel density of 262ppi but Fujitsu also has another trick up their sleeves by managing to squeeze the 14″ IGZO touchscreen display into a chassis that is about the same as for a 13″ model. Fujitsu also adds what it calls “Super Glide Coating” to the display for a better touch experience with Windows 8. Along with the display enhancements the UH90 also has a 1.6GHz Core i5-4200U Haswell processor with Intel HD 4400 graphics and a 500Gb hybrid drive with solid state cache, and with a thickness of only 15.5mm Fujitsu claims this is the thinnest Ultrabook available.

Razer Blade, 1880gm
“Designed for Gaming” says the advertising for the Razer Blade Ultrabook. We say you should look closely at this one even if you’re not a gamer. Haswell, 1600×900, 70Wh battery and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M make this Ultrabook unique. The design is pretty hot too.1.88KG for a 14” Ultrabook isn’t the best you’ll find but given the battery capacity and the processing specs, you won’t find anything lighter.
ASUS VivoBook V551, 2400gm
The ASUS VivoBook V551 is a 15.6" Ultrabook based on Intel's new Haswell platform. It's processor is a Core i7 with 1.8Ghz. 8GB of RAM together with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M make up a good performance for gaming. We are curious to see how long it's 3-cell 65W 4500mAh battery combined with Haswell's powermanagement will keep this thing up and running. The 15.6" display comes at a rather underwhelming 1366x768 resolution.
Toshiba WT310, 825gm
The Toshiba WT310 is an 11" Windows 8 Pro Tablet with optional HSPA+ / LTE support. No notes on the CPU yet and no info on SSD size. It is likely to be based on the Intel Ivy bridge Y models. The pen can be used for additional stylus-input.

Acer Aspire P3-171, 800gm
The Acer Aspire P3 Ultrabook, that’s actually a tablet with a keyboard accessory, is aimed at a low-cost market.

With Bluetooth 4.0, Intel WiDi support and WiFi b/g/n it offers great performance. The only thing we're missing at that premium price is an ethernet option. The housing is made of aluminum alloy which makes it stiff and light at the same time.

To put all in a nutshell: a good middlerange ultrabook at a budget price!

The Toshiba Portégé Z10t is a dockable Windows 8 Tablet based upon the Intel Ivy Bridge platform. The tablet itself comes with a USB 3.0 port, micro HDMI, SD-Card slot and a 3.5mm mic/headphone jack.

LG TabBook Ultra Z160, 1050gm
Weighing 1.05KG the LG TabBook Ultra Z160 is one of the lightest one-piece convertibles on the market and powerful enough to be a comfortable desktop. Its 12 hours battery life, full Windows 8 and port selection should make it very flexible for on-the-go usage. The screen is 11.6-inch which means the keyboard could be quite comfortable compared to some 10-inch keyboard dock offerings. 1366×768 at this size seems a sensible choice.

ASUS VivoBook U38DT, 1600gm
Slotting right into the Ultrabook segment is this quad-core AMD-powered competitor. No SSD acceleration exists on the hard drive but many of the other specifications go directly head-to-head with Ultrabooks. Back-lit keyboard and slick design will please many. The GPU will please even more.

Microsoft Surface Pro, 907gm
Microsoft's Surface Pro is likely to give the tablet category a good boost through the marketing and branding and this version of the Surface will be a true desktop-capable device. At 900gm it's one of the lightest Core-based tablets and the 10.1" screen also makes it highly portable. A digitiser layer, FULLHD resolution and keyboard accessories only make it more interesting. We'd have preferred to see a full size SD card slot although the SDXC slot will be useful in expanding storage space.
Dell Inspiron 15z, 2160gm
The Dell Inspiron 15z is a 15.6" Ultrabook which comes with a weight of 2.16kg and several different configurations ranging from core i3 to i7 CPU, 4-8GB of RAM, 500GB HDD + 32GB mSATA SSD or 128-256GB SSD.

Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx, 635gm

ASUS VivoBook S400, 1995gm
As one of the cheapest touch-enabled Ultrabooks, the Vivobook S400 should get a large audience although a deeper dive on the specs reveals a few points of note. The weight is mainstream rather than class-leading and the spinning hybrid drive won't bring you the speeds you see on SSD-based devices.
ASUS Vivo Tab Smart, 580gm
The ASUS Vivo Tab SMart is a smaller, lower cost version of the Vivo Tab. Still a full WIndows 8 tablet running on Atom, it has a 10" screen and no digitiser support.

HP Envy Touchsmart, 1805gm
ASUS UX42VS, 1701gm
Lenovo Thinkpad Helix, 785gm
The Lenovo Thinkpad Helix offers an advanced tablet/laptop configuration with battery capacity up to an impressive 70Wh with the clamshell dock.

SSD options, CPU options (including VPro support) and memory up to 8GB give the business user and consumer a wide choice of configurations. We think the Lenovo Helix is going to be very popular here on Ultrabooknews but pricing will be high. Starting price: around $1500.
Lenovo Thinkpad Twist, 1569gm
Asus U500, 2200gm
The Asus U500 competes with Ultrabooks like the Gigabyte U2442 in that it offers highly portable power. With up to a Core i7 quad-core processor and powerful Nvidia GT 650M graphics, the U500 is a mobile powerhouse but don't expect lengthy battery life. Due to the Quad Core 35W CPU ,the U500 is not a true Ultrabook. Also known as the UX51, which is a little confusing!
Samsung Chromebook, 1100gm
The all new Samsung Chromebook (Exynos 5) is a new Chromebook running on an ARM Cortex A15 platform. It comes at a sub 250$ price point to the US. Europe seems to pass on that device.

Dell Inspiron 14Z, 2370gm

The MSI S20 is equipped with Windows 8 which Microsoft has retooled for touch input with the Metro interface (pictured above). The S20 is exciting because it will be one of the first touchscreen convertible Ultrabooks with both Ivy Bridge and Windows 8 — a combination that could actually represent a good touchscreen computing experience in the world of mainstream PCs for the first time.
Fujitsu Lifebook UH572, 1570gm
The Fujitsu Lifebook UH572 is an Ultrabook based on an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5/7 processor clocked at 1.7/1.9GHz. It features up to 8GB of RAM and comes with various HDD/SSD options.

Acer Aspire S7 13", 1300gm

HP ENVY 6t, 2154gm
The Envy 6t is the large-screen Ultrabook in HP's 2012 range of thin and lights. 15.6" sounds productive but we're a little dissapointed to see 1366x768 resolution on such a large screen. As yet, we haven't seen any options for higher resolution screens but this could be something HP offer in their B2B business. 2nd and 3rd-Generation CPUs are available along with a discreet GPU option. As yet, we haven't seen any SSD options which clearly leaves space for the HP Envy Spectre models
Dospara Prime Note Altair, 1701gm
The Dospara Prime Note Altair is a Japanese market Ultrabook and includes a DVD writer and 8GB RAM along with the 3rd Generation Core CPU from Intel. a 500GB+64GB drive and a good set of ports round off would could be an interesting workhorse. Only the 1366x768 screen disappoints. Launch price including local taxes is $US 1023 for the base model (Core i5)
Toshiba Satellite U840W, 1570gm
Looking very focused toward that cinema experience but also something that will be useful for productivity. Side-by-side windows would work well in this resolution. The weight seems acceptable for the size and as with other Toshiba Ultrabooks, the port selection is good.
Toshiba Portege Z930, 1120gm
The upgrade to the Z830 takes the same lightweight chassis and adds the 3rd generation Core processor and a faster SSD. This will be available in various version around the world with up to 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD and UMTS/WiMax options. The screen resolution remains the same which is dissapointing but given that the Z830 was an excelent Ultrabook, the Z930 will still be able to compete.
Onkyo DR6A-US3, 1690gm
This is the first Ultrabook from Onkyo featuring a 14" Display with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. Its Battery should last for about 8 hours. The processor is an second generation Intel Core-i7 2637M clocked at 1.7GHz.

Gigabyte X11, 973gm
Very similar to the Mouse Computers LuvBook X, the carbon-fiber build permits a very lightweight build - lighter than a netbook. Ivy Bridge makes this a 2nd-generation Ultrabook. Availability expected Q3 2012.
Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet, 400gm
The Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet is a 7" 1GHz dual-core Tablet with a resolution of 1024x600.

Unlike most Ultrabooks this one comes with 500GB of HDD. With 4GB of RAM and a battery life of 7.5 hours claimed by the manufacturer at an interesting starting price it can be quite compelling.
ASUS Transformer Pad, 586gm
A good upgrade from the original Transformer. The Transformer Pad TF300T is the first device to use Nvidia's Tegra 3 platform. The optional keyboard has an additional battery which will allow the Transformer to run up to 18 hours, according to Asus. The add-on nature of this keyboard makes the Transformer Prime a versatile device; able to function as a standalone tablet, or as a laptop-style productivity device. Unfortunately the tablet itself is somewhat lacking in the port department, with only Micro HDMI, MicroSD, and a proprietary dock connector on the tablet itself. Adding the keyboard will also bring along with it a full-sized SD card reader and full-sized USB 2.0 port, though it would have been nice to see one full-sized USB port on the tablet itself along with another on the keyboard for adding a mouse and an external storage device.
ASUS Zenbook Prime UX32VD, 1500gm
The entry-level UX32VD comes with Core i5 and a 1366x768 display but it's the Core i7 version with IPS display that is getting us excited. A discreet graphics card improves gaming capability and a reasonably large battery helps drive the UX32VD for as long as possible. The Hybrid HDD includes 'Express Cache' acceleration via a 23GB SSD. Premium features like backlit keyboard and high-quality speakers add to the great value of the ASUS Zenbook UX32VD
ASUS Zenbook Prime UX32A, 1440gm

A 'medium' resolution screen and 1.7KG put it somewhere in the mainstream of specifications despite the high-end CPU.
HP EliteBook 2170p, 1310gm
The HP EliteBook 2170p is an Ultrabook competitor with up to 16GB of RAM. As this device is focused for the business market one can get an SED HDD (Self Encrypting Drive) or SSD. We have to wait for a price to see how well this device will sell. With its 26.5mm thinkness it's a bit thicker than most Ultrabooks but still thinner than most Laptops.
HP EliteBook Folio 9470m, 1630gm
The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m is a business focused Ultrabook with up to 16GB of RAM and either 500GB of HDD or 256GB SSD. It features 3 USB 3.0 Ports, VGA and a DisplayPort 1.1a The primary 4-cell 52 WHr battery can be extended with another 6-cell Slice battery with 60 WHr capacity.
Mouse Computers LuvBook X, 985gm
Releasing a 1st-generation Ultrabook while the excitement builds to 2nd-gen Ultrabooks based on Ivy Bridge may, at first, seem a stupid move but when it’s a unique product like the new LuvBook X from Mouse Computers in Japan, it may not make much difference. The LuvBook X is going to be the second 11.6” Ultrabook on the market, the first with a carbon-fiber body and the first to break 1KG. It's battery is supposed to run up to 5.5 hours.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, 1350gm
The X1 Carbon is the second Ultrabook that we’ve seen that is built on a carbon fiber chassis. Screen resolution is 1600×900 and is said to be wide-angle, but not IPS. The screen itself is matt which is great for outdoor usage. The ThinkPad Precision Keyboard looks very much the same as the one we’re testing in the U300S right now but it has the touchpoint button, a fingerprint reader and the Thinkpad style mouse buttons. It will be backlit too. RapidCharge and 3G/4G options will be available. Pricing has not been made public but this is clearly going to be a device that extends will into the $2K range. As far as we can tell, Lenovo did not announce any Ivy Bridge update for the existing X1. Availability: Summer 2012
Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet, 715gm
The Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet is a standard Tegra 2 device with 3G options and up to 64GB Storage. It does feature an IPS display with Gorilla Glass. With its full size USB slot and its SD Card Slot it provides good connectivity for file exchange on the go.
Fujitsu Lifebook U772, 1500gm
Looking absolutely fantastic, the U772 is the first Ivy Bridge Ultrabook from Fujitsu. Various CPU, storage and RAM options will be available. In terms of ports, there's a good selection including SDXC card reader, 2xUSB3.0 and an ethernet port (via adaptor cable.) At 15.9 mm thick, it's one of the thinnest Ultrabooks of 2012.
HP ENVY Spectre XT, 1392gm
The HP ENVY Spectre XT is a 2nd-gen Ultrabook running on Intel's latest Ivy-Bridge processors. THe screen is a disappointing 1366x768 and the weight is average at 1.4KG. Beats Audio, a backlit keyboard and a selection of three Ivy Bridge processors and two SSD configurations give this Ultrabook business appeal.

With its AMD C-60 fusion CPU and its built in AMD Radeon HD 6290 it is powerful enough for Full-HD media consumption on the go. At a price point of 359€ this device is a versatile and powerful Netbook. Especially the 3G option might be interesting for some people.
Motorola XOOM 2, 590gm
The Motorola XOOM 2 is a Tegra 2 based Tablet with 1GB RAM. There are Wi-Fi only and 3G versions available with either 16 or 32GB Storage. With its 1.3MP front-facing camera it is well suited for VOIP calling or video calls.
HP Envy 4, 1750gm
The HP Envy 4t is available in Intel and AMD configurations and known as a 'sleekbook,' not an Ultrabook. There are discreet graphics GPU options and the CPU range includes both 2nd-gen and 3rd-gen CPU options. No SSD available at present [June 3rd 2012]
Sony VAIO T13, 1500gm
The Sony VAIO T13 (SVT1311W1E) was one of the first Ivy Bridge based Ultrabooks with the new Intel HD 4000 integrated Graphics chip. It comes like its sister models with 4GB RAM, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 + HS and a 13.3" display with a resolution of 1366x768. Unlike its sister models it doesn't come with a hybrid HDD/SSD but a true 128GB SSD.
Lesance NB S3431, 1640gm
‘Shocking thinness and price” says the advertising for the new Lesance NB S3431 Ultrabook. While 19mm might not be a shock to anyone that reads Ultrabooknews, the price of $725 (59980 Yen) is pretty impressive.
HP Slate 2, 690gm
The HP Slate 2 is a Windows 7 Tablet powered by an Intel Atom Z670 clocked at 1.5 GHz. It has up to 64GB mSATA Storage and should last with its 2-cell (30WHr) battery up to 7.5 hours.

Samsung Series 5 NP530, 1450gm
The new Samsung Series 5 Ultra 530U3C-A02 is currently being offered with the Core i7, 8GB RAM and 500GB hybrid hard drive (we hope with the same ExpressCache setup as the current Series 5 it works well) for 999€ which is about the same as the launch prices for entry level models of 1st-Gen Ultrabooks. There's an NP530U3C-A05 listed for 799€ and this is currently showing with a Core i5 Sandy Bridge processor. We suspect this will turn out to be the entry-level version of the new Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook with Ivy Bridge. As a starting price, it's not too bad.
Wortmann Terra Mobile Ultrabook 1450, 1600gm
The Wortmann Terra Mobile Ultrabook 1450 is a affordable Ultrabook with an Intel Core i3, 4GB of RAM and an 128GB SSD. It's a good entry to the world of Ultrabooks giving you the advantages of having a light and powerful device at a decent pricepoint.

The Sony T11 is a budget Ultrabook at a price point of 699€ starting to sell at the end of May 2012. It is based on the Sandy Bridge Platform which is unsurprisingly at that price point. The Sony T11 has some nice features like a 500GB Hybrid HDD, Gigabit ethernet and Bluetooth 4.0 + HS.

Acer Aspire One 722, 1450gm

With its APU (combination of CPU and GPU) and it's 2GB of RAM it does of course support flawless 1080p video playback. For 350€ this 11.6" device is a good starting point for someone who wants a recent netbook.
Acer Iconia Tab A200, 704gm

The Kupa X11 comes with a multitouch screen and an active digitizer which is pressure sensitive. It is built on Intel's Oak Trail platform sporting a 1.5GHz Processor and packs 2GB of RAM. Battery life is promised to be about 10hrs.
Acer Aspire M3, 2300gm
The Acer M3, launched in March 2012 brings big-screen to the Ultrabook segment. It also brings discreet graphics in the GT640M module which will open up some gaming, CAD and video possibilities. At 2.3KG it's a vey heavy Ultrabook though and the screen resolution of 1366x768 will really dissapoint some. A large battery capacity should offset the extra battery drain from the large screen and GPU. Entry level pricing is competitive.
Apple iPad 2012, 662gm
The new 2012 Apple iPad with its crisp display with a resolution of 2048x1536 features a dual core Apple A5X processor. It comes with a 5MP Camera on its back and comes with Bluetooth 4.0.

Gigabyte U2442, 1590gm
Two models in the U2442 range offer 1600x900 screens and GT640M CPUs which make them competitors to the UX32VD. A base, S Model, offers 1366x768 with Core i5 and the GT640M graphics CPU which at a RRP of $999 offers some interesting possibilities. One specifications we're not too happy with is the 44Wh battery, relatively low-end for a 1.6KG 14" Ultrabook.
LG Optimus Vu
The LG Optimus Vu was launched on MWC 2012. It is a 5" Phone but it's display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Just like the Samsung Galaxy Note it features stylus input and has an 650 nits bright display. It comes with Android 2.3 but should soon be updated to Android Ice Cream Sandwich.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, 583gm

Samsung Series 9 15, 1592gm
Samsung's Series 9 15" model comes with a 1600x900 screen a backlit keyboard and an Intel Ivy Bridge (3rd Gen) Core Processor. Windows 8 models available from end of October 2012 and there's a lower-cost 4GB version. This is a very high quality ultralight with excellent screen and keyboard.
Toshiba Portege R835-P81, 1451gm
The Toshiba Portege R835-P81 is a mid-range Notebook with an magnesium alloy casing. Together with its spill-resistant keyboard it seems to be a rugged Notebook. Its 6 cell battery will power it up to 9hrs and with its DVD drive/burner it will find its customers. Intels Wireless Display technology also enables great connectivity for the future.
ASUS B23E, 1497gm
The ASUS B23E focusses on business users and offers more mid-range specifications for a normal laptop. It does however feature a Smartcard slot and an Expresscard slot. Its case is made out of an magnesium alloy to withstand most situations.
Sony VAIO Z Series, 1166gm
Sonys VAIO Z Series brings in a new blazing fast Ultrabook with an external GPU combined with an BD Drive. It brings the most advanced technology out there in one device at a heavy price point of $2749.99 at its maxed out configuration. The Base configuration will cost something around 2000$
Toshiba Satellite U840, 1730gm
The new Toshiba Satellite U840 Ultrabook comes with an Intel Core i5-2467M, 8GB of RAM and an 14" Screen at 1366x768 Resolution.

This 13.3" model also comes with a larger battery and an SD card slot. Apple rates the battery for 7 hours of web use, 2 hours longer than the 11.6" version.
LG Xnote Z430, 1500gm
Samsung Series 5 14, 1430gm
The Samsung Series 5 14 pushes the boundaries of the Ultrabook definition but has a unique position in the market as being the only Ultrabook with a DVD drive. Like the Series 5 it's a well-rounded device with good keyboard, ports and specifications. Weight is high although relatively light for a 14" notebook. [Jan 18 2012]
Lenovo IdeaPad U410, 1800gm
Targeted at the lower-cost Ultrabook segment the Lenovo Ideapad U410 offers the latest Intel 'Ivy Bridge' but also adds the Nvidia GeForce 610M for additional graphics capability. A relatively low-resolution screen my put some off but the pricing looks very competitive. Lenovo's quality could also win some customers for the U410 Ultrabook.
Lenovo IdeaPad U310, 1700gm
The Lenovo U310 is breaking Ultrabook price barriers with its entry level model and although it's based on a 2011 CPU, is still worth looking at for home and student use. This is an Ultrabook that could be interesting for netbook users looking to upgrade too. Higher-end models are still price competitive and offer the latest Core i5 'Ivy Bridge' platforms with the HD4000, gaming-capable built-in graphics unit.

Acer Iconia Tab A700

Dell XPS 13, 1400gm
Available as an updated Ivy Bridge build now the XPS 13 is a quality bit of kit. Unfortunately it only has a 720P HD screen rather than 1600x900 or FullHD so that might put some people off. We'd love to see an update of this with a 1600x900 touchscreen.
Lenovo IdeaTab K2110
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, 1530gm
The Lenovo Ideapad Yoga is a convertible touchscreen Ultrabook. The design allows the screen to be tilted all the way onto the back of the device. At 1.5KG it won't be a lightweight tablet but it can be used in 'easel' mode and of course, has all the touch capabilities available when used as a normal laptop. A 1600x900 IPS screen adds to the high-end specs. An 11" version is available (Yoga 11S from March 2013) with Core CPU. A Windows RT 11" version is also available.

HP Envy 14 Spectre, 1769gm
The HP Envy 14 Spectre is a fully specified Ultrabook with some relatively unique features like Beats audio and and 1600x900 resolution behind a Gorilla Glass screen but it comes in at a high price and weight. Performance and battery life is unlikely to be significantly better than other Core i5-based Ultrabooks.

Acer Aspire S5, 1200gm
The S5 is an advanced Ultrabook design from Acer that forms their high-end offering for Q2 and Q3 2012. The Acer S3 continuess to be the 'value' Ultrabook. Full SSD, a Thunderbolt port, very thin design and hidden 'magic flip' port bay are key features.
Lenovo Thinkpad T430u, 1870gm
Samsung Series 5 13.3, 1430gm
The Samsung Series 5 13" could be a good value Ultrabook although entry level versions will come with a Hybrid hard drive rather than an all-SSD build and it's relatively heavy at nearly 1.5KG. The keyboard is good, port selection is good and you've got an Intel Centrino WiFi card capable of Wi-Di so at the current €799 pricing in Europe we think it's a better choice than the Acer S3. US pricing is looking a a little higher at $999 [Jan 18 2012]
Motorola Droid 3, 167gm
LG Xnote Z330, 1210gm
Offering a good range of ports in a great design the LG Z330 looks like it could be one of the top Ultrabooks of early 2012 although we're not too happy to see a near-useless micro-SD port. The slim bezel design adds to the style and at 1.21KG it's not too heavy. The Shuriken display should support 'panel self refresh' which could bring significant in-use power-savings.
Lenovo IdeaPad U300, 1580gm
Lenovo Thinkpad X220, 1300gm
Samsung NP350, 1352gm
A very well rounded Ultrabook alternative. This hard-disk based laptop is available with Core i3 and Core i5 (mobile, not ultra-low voltage CPUs) and offers very similar battery life and performance figures to a standard ultrabook. The boot and program start times are slower than an Ultrabook though. Not available in all regions and pricing varies. In some areas the Core i3 version can be a real bargain.
Medion Lifetab, 720gm
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, 586gm
Definitely a good upgrade from the original Transformer. The Transformer Prime is the first device to use Nvidia's Tegra 3 platform. The optional keyboard has an additional battery which will allow the Transformer Prime to run up to 18 hours, according to Asus. The add-on nature of this keyboard makes the Transformer Prime a versatile device; able to function as a standalone tablet, or as a laptop-style productivity device. Unfortunately the tablet itself is somewhat lacking in the port department, with only Micro HDMI, MicroSD, and a proprietary dock connector on the tablet itself. Adding the keyboard will also bring along with it a full-sized SD card reader and full-sized USB 2.0 port, though it would have been nice to see one full-sized USB port on the tablet itself along with another on the keyboard for adding a mouse and an external storage device.

HP Folio, 1490gm
Unlike some other ultrabooks, the HP Folio offers a reasonable set of ports. You'll get full-sized HDMI for audio/video output, a gigabit ethernet port, one USB 2.0 port, and one USB 3.0 port (backwards compatible to 2.0). Additionally there is a combo 3.5mm line-in/line-out port for headphones or a microphone, and there's a multi-card reader. The backlit keyboard is also a plus. As with other HP notebooks, the Folio has Altec Lansing speakers which are 'Dolby Advanced Audio' certified, but don't expect them to replace your stereo system. The ability to expand the RAM up to 8GB will be good for some users; many other ultrabooks have cases sealed with non-standard screws and aren't intended for aftermarket modification.
Lenovo X121e, 1550gm
HP Pavillion DM1, 1601gm
ASUS U36SD, 1670gm
Samsung Galaxy Nexus, 135gm
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is similar in form to the Samsung Nexus S. Both phones have curved Super AMOLED displays, but the Galaxy Nexus uses a substantially higher resolution (800x480 vs. 1280x720) and a larger display (4.0" vs. 4.65"). The dual-core 1.2GHz processor ought to run very well with Ice Cream Sandwich which has been built to take advantage of dual-core processors. Connectivity and camera are somewhat underwhelming. The 5MP resolution on the rear-facing camera could be found in smartphones at least two years ago, and the current expected standard for high-end phones is 8MP. There are no port-based connectivity options on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus beyond the MicroSD port. Samsung and Google would probably like to think that they've made up for this lack of ports with the inclusion of NFC and Bluetooth 3.0, but in reality it will be some time before those technologies get utilized in a widespread way.

Dell Latitude ST, 816gm
With a focus on business, the Latitude ST offers a hi-resolution screen and long battery life along with basic connectivity options with full-size ports. The casing is rubberised for grip. Capcative and Digitiser inpout layers are included. The optional docking station adds Gigabit Ethernet and comes with a keyboard. The 'Oaktrail' Z670 isn't a powerful CPU so multi-tasking will be limited. If the SSD is fast, it will help improve Windows 7 performance, otherwise it could feel quite sluggish.
Samsung XE700, 860gm
The EX700 includes a little bit of everything. Good processing power, a USB2.0 port, digitiser, Wi-Di capability, digitiser (for pen) and capacatice layer (for finger) a docking port and keyboard, fast SSD disk and all in a lightweight shell but it's missing things that laptops offer like full-size SD card slots, a USB 3.0 bus and a VGA port. As a mobile PC or a hot-desking PC, the XE700 looks like it can take on a lot of working scenarios though and with Windows 8 it's going to look even better. An impressive full-range tablet PC.
Huawei Mediapad, 390gm
European pricing of 400 Euros indicates that this could be a great value 3G-capable tablet. Fast processor, latest OS and a high-resolution IPS display.
Apple iPhone 4S, 136gm
LG XNote P220, 1300gm
The thin bezel on the LG P220 is going to attract a lot of people. 12.5" screen in a 11.6" frame is usable and stylish. At 21mm deep this sits just outside the target thickness for an Ultrabook. The LG Xnote P220 launches firs in Korea with 2 variants. The 320GB HDD version and a 128 SSD version. It is unknown if the 320HDD comes with SSD cache to speed up boot time. If not, this isn't an Ultrabook. Certainly none of the marketing materials so far have mentioned the 'Ultrabook.'

ASUS UX31, 1297gm
The UX31 (and smaller UX21) were the first true Ultrabooks to become available and ASUS have included a good set of specifications that include USB3, a high brightness 1600x900 screen and 128GB of fast SSD. We've reviewed the UX31 (and UX21) and it's an amazing bit of kit but you'll need to watch out for the keyboard which didn't work-out for us. Our review link is above.
Acer Aspire S3, 1350gm
The Acer S3 was always the honest, budget option in the market. Now updated with Windows 8 (from Oct 26th 2012) it still offers good value for money. CPU starts with Core i3 Sandy Bridge, the older generation, and other specs remain unchanged. [Oct 2012]
Toshiba Portege Z830, 1120gm
The Toshiba Satellite/Portege Z830/Z835 was one of the best early Ultrabooks. A leading 1.1KG weight, aluminium casing and a great range of ports and features. The features match its business-like looks. Watch out for: Noisy fan in quiet environments, slightly 'squishy' keyboard. Z835 is the US-only Core i3 model. 2020 and I've still got a version of this. It upgraded to Windows 10 and the fingerprint reader works natively under Windows 10. (Disable it via Safe Mode after you have upgraded otherwise Windows 10 login seems to get into a loop.) The battery is dead after 9 years (about 1 minute of capacity!) and the fan noise is terrible, but in a basic build it makes a very fast browser. The SSD is fast enough and I've upgraded to 6GB RAM which works OK. In terms of build quality, wow! Amazing. This was built to last.
Lenovo Ideapad U300S, 1310gm
Starts with the Core i5 with Anti-Theft, Wi-Di capability, Rapid-Charge, aluminium chassis and glass touchpad so this is going to be a premium Ultrabook. Initial pricing backs that up. If Lenovo have come through with their best build quality and keyboard technology though, this could be worth it. USB3.0 included.
Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, 335gm
Sony Tablet S, 595gm
The Tablet S features a screen technology that Sony calls "TruBlack" and they say it enhances colors and darkens the blacks. Chippy got his hands on the Tablet S at IDF and immediately noted that the screen looks very good. The Tablet S is quite light at 595 grams and the design should make it easier to hold in one hand than tablets of a similar weight.
Acer Aspire One D257 Meego, 1300gm
At 222 Euros for a top-end netbook platform, this Meego edition saves around 60 Euros over the Windows Home 7 Starter version, a differential that's larger than the cost of the Windows 7 Starter License. 2GB of RAM is also included (the WIndows 7 version comes with only 1GB) which hints that this device may be either subsidised or a loss-leader for Acer. It's unclear if any application store is included or whether Acer will be providing updates as Meego progresses. Battery life is expected to be as good as the Windows version which users are reporting to have 7hrs of life.

Fusion Garage Grid 4, 137gm
The Grid 4 runs Fusion Garage's own 'Grid' OS which is based on the Android Kernel. It will be able to run Android apps but does not have access to the Android Market. The Amazon App Store will be pre-installed on the device as well as Fusion Garage's own app store. It's unlikely that Fusion Garage's Grid is going to be able to compete with Apple or Google's mobile operating system offerings.
Fusion Garage Grid 10, 960gm
The Grid 10 runs Fusion Garage's own 'Grid' OS which is based on the Android Kernel. It will be able to run Android apps but does not have access to the Android Market. The Amazon App Store will be pre-installed on the device as well as Fusion Garage's own app store. It's unlikely that Fusion Garage's Grid is going to be able to compete with Apple or Google's mobile operating system offerings. The tablet itself is lacking in connectivity and ports with only one proprietary docking connect, no MicroUSB (USB can be added through an adapter), no HDMI out (can be added through an adatper), no MicroSD card slot.
Cisco Cius, 522gm
Netbook Navigator Nav 7, 590gm
A 7" UMPC built on Atom fills a requirement for a number of markets but take note, this is the older Atom platform. (Z5XX) with the slower GPU (200Mhz compared to 400Mhz on the Z6xx series.) It's strange to see a device like this without any form of video out. The rear-mounted touch panel and mouse buttons should improve Windows usage although we would want to test that before recommending a buy. Weight seems acceptable - 550gms
Motorola Photon 4G, 158gm
Archos 101 G9, 649gm
Certainly one of the most unique Honeycomb tablets yet announced. The Archos 80 (G9) offers two distinct memory options, 16GB flash or 250GB of HDD storage. The 250GB version is slightly thicker and heavier (size/weight listed in our database is the 16GB version). For $49 you can purchase an unlocked 3G USB modem which docks seamlessly into a slot in the back of the device. This modem will also work with PCs.

Samsung N100, 1030gm
The N100 is hitting a very low price point at launch which means street prices could be even less. The 3-cell battery looks to be good quality (40Wh is good, but not confirmed by Samsung at this stage.) A matt screen and the usual array of netbook connections for USB devices, SDHC cards, wired networking, screen and audio will put the device in a far more flexible position than devices running a mobile operating system. For the price, this is looking like a real bargain.
Lenovo Ideapad P1, 810gm
The Lenovo Ideapad P1 could offer a range of builds for the low-cost to pro-mobile market and with the digitiser layer, light weight and brand, could turn out to be a popular model. Although nothing has been mentioned, a Meego and Android build for the Intel Oaktrail platform could turn this into a multi-mode tablet. Battery life is expected ton be 5-6hrs (wifi on)
Motion Computing CL900, 950gm
The ruggedised CL900 comes in with capacative and digitiser input layers along battery life for a great price. Motion Computing have also put together a wide range of accessories in including a unique docking station making this worth a look at.
Samsung 900X1B, 1060gm
Although the 900X1A base version doesn't include the 'Turbo Boost' feature of the Core i5 versions, the platform performs well. Largely due to the fast SSD. For those comparing to the Asus UX21, you'll be interested in the backlit keyboard, matt screen, micro SD slot and competetive price. The base versions of the Core i5 and Core i3 versions only come with 2GB RAM and 64GB SSD but 4GB versions are available. [Dec 1 2011]
MSI Windpad 110W, 850gm
The 110W has the 1280x800 screen and integrated mouse pointer, 32GB SSD, HD decoder (via the 6250M graphics,) 2GB of RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium - A well balanced feature set for a mobile PC. With a 2-cell battery we're probably looking at 30-40Wh of power (unconfirmed) which is a 3-5hr usage time. If the Windpad includes some nice accessories (we are assuming the docking port is still included) it could make quite a well balanced product. And good value too.
Nokia N9, 135gm
As an advanced phone the N9 could be missing some things that early adopters were looking for. Micro-SD expansion, HDMI-output, FM radio, stereo speakers seem to be missing but there appears to be a better focus on usability compared to the N900 'developer' phone. Near-Field Communications, Bluetooth 4.0 and a rich user interface are to be considered though for advanced users. Some may worry about the lack of Xenon flash too but with wide-angle, a wide-aperture and a dual-LED flash, most situations will be covered in the highest quality. Video fans should note that there is continuous auto-focus and stereo audio recording. The user interface doesn't use any buttons and includes double-tap-to-unlock and three different homescreen views. Price, battery life, ease of use and applications will be a big factor in this devices success but whichever way you look at it, it's the most interesting and exciting Meego product to date and should do a lot for the brand.

The ASUS PadFone got a refresh in terms of specs and OS. It does feature a Qualcomm S4 Dual Core processor at 1.5GHz, which based on the latest ARM Cortex A15 chip. The PadFone also introduces new accessories like the Bluetooth stylus to both write on the tablet and take phone calls. Also compatible is the ASUS dockingstation, that makes the PadFone a 3 in 1 device - featuring a range from Phone over Tablet up to a Netbook experience.

Acer have a little catching-up to do in the Android space. The A500 lagged in software updates but it looks like the A100 is shipping with 3.2. As a competitor to the Galaxy Tab it's priced well and should turn in better performance. Definitely worth a closer look, even for existing Galaxy Tab 7 owners.
Lenovo Ideapad S205, 1480gm
Apple MacBook Air 11.6, 1080gm
The entry-level MacBook Air now offers a huge boost in processing and video decoding and encoding power over previous models along with a Thunderbolt port for extremely high speed data transfer. At 1080gm it's one of the lightest Core i5/i7 systems too. There's a 13" version also available which comes with SD card slot.
HTC Droid Incredible 2, 135gm
Samsung TX100, 1000gm
Another 1KG computer from Samsung but this time offering a slightly different features set compared to their netbooks. Oaktrail platform will offer longer battery life (per battery capacity) than Pinetrail but may not perform as well. The trade off does include full windows tablet / touchscreen capability though. Pricing starts at $799 but expect a fully loaded 64GB / 3G model to reach $900.

Well-built with good screen and great battery life. The A500 offers full USB port and micro-HDMI out for flexibility, built-in DLNA media sharing and easy-to-access Micro SD card support. A well-rounded Honeycomb tablet that should get even better when 3.1 is available at the end of June [2 June 2011]

In total, the tablet and dock solution weighs over 1.5kg which, for a solution with a 36Whr battery (and 3-4hrs usage) isn't much but as a hot-desking / round-the-house solution, the Acer Iconia Tab could perform well.
Huawei IDEOS S7 Slim, 448gm
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, 599gm
Without Micro USB or Micro SD card there's a lot of connectivity relying on the one proprietary cable! build quality is good and it's noticably lighter than other 10" tablets. Question marks remain over support for a wider range of video codecs and the final application suite.
Fujitsu Stylistic Q550, 870gm
HP Touchpad, 700gm
With a specification targeted at the iPad one wonders how it will look when the iPad2 is launched but WebOS has a lot of fans too! The Touchstone feature and good connectivity might not be enough to make huge sales numbers unless the price is very competitive.
Pioneer Dreambook ePad F10, 700gm
Motorola Xoom, 730gm

Enspert E201, 425gm
Good quality build. Enspert plan to get Google applications approval. Video codecs for H.264, DiVX will be pre-installed (plan)
Dell Streak 7, 450gm
With an opening price of $450 in the U.S. (T-Mobile) this is a relatively well priced tablet for one that includes multi-touch capacative screen, 3G and full Google Market and application support. The WVGA screen will show up in comparisons against higher resolution screens but should bring advantages for gaming. Early reviews are indicating battery life much less than equivalent 7" tablets although the Streak 7 only has a 10Wh battery and the dual-core platform could be using more energy than single-core equivalents.
Motorola Droid Bionic, 158gm
Fairly similar to the Motorola Atrix except the Bionic lacks the desktop docking functionality of the Atrix and has half the RAM (1GB vs. 512MB). The Droid Bionic has a better rear camera than the Atrix (8MP vs. 5MP). Other than this and the carriers on which they operate, both are quite similar with 960x540 screens and running 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 CPUs (Dual-Core ARM A9 @ 1GHz). It'll definitely be a powerful phone, but may be bogged down with Motorola's Motoblur interface which has been seen to be sluggish on other phones (fortunately on Android that's easy to fix). It's surprising and disspointing that the Droid Bionic doesn't have the latest version of Android (2.3 AKA Gingerbread).
Motorola Atrix, 135gm
Very powerful smartphone with interesting docking capabilities. Motorola is offering an "HD" dock that has HDMI, 3 USB ports, and audio-output to allow the Atrix to be connect to any HDMI screen as well as a mouse and keyboard. Connecting the Atrix to the HD dock, or Laptop style dock (with it's own screen and keyboard) allows the users to access a Linux environment and full Firefox browser. The potential for convergence here is interesting as the device will not only be able to record and play 1080p video, but also function as a makeshift desktop computing device. This is definitely a phone to keep your eye on.

Samsung Nexus S, 129gm
The Nexus S doesn't feel like a big jump forward from the original Nexus One. The only additions are an improved (and concave) AMOLED screen and NFC hardware. The MicroSD slot and trackball have been removed which will be seen as a downgrade for some.
Dell Inspiron M101z, 1560gm
Acer Aspire One 721, 1400gm
Creative ZiiO 10, 649gm
The ZiiO 10 is a large WiFi only tablet that is definitely targeted toward home use/sofa surfing. Creative claims that the tablet's 1GHz CPU and 1024MB of RAM will be enough to output 720p video through HDMI.
Samsung Continuum, 125gm
The secondary display is neat and has potential, unfortunately it requires lots of configuration to get working just right which isn't good for the end-user. Lack of granularity in options for the ticker display hurts the experience. Squeeze sensor is also neat and useful but lacks consistency in activation.

Samsung N350, 1060gm
Samsung Fascinate, 118gm
Samsung's Fascinate for Verizon is a slim and light phone. It uses Samsung's own Android skin which is not far removed from the default but does have a smoothly scrolling home screen and application launcher. Bing is used for all searching on the phone rather than Google, which some people will dislike. [The much less function] Bing maps is also used in place of Google Maps, but fortunately you can install Google Maps from the Marketplace.
Motorola Droid R2D2, 169gm
Asus Eee PC 1015PN, 1247gm
Nvidia ION 2 should be able to handle 720p and 1080p HD playback. HDMI output combined with ION will make this great for plugging into the big screen and watching HD movies or other desktop TV experiences (Hulu, Netflix, Boxee, etc.) without requiring that the computer be permanently hooked up next to the computer.
Motorola Droid Pro, 120gm
Probably one of the better options for people who need world phone functionality but would rather use Android over the other platforms. Only show stopper is the relatively low-res 320x480 screen which doesn't fit the traditional Android aspect ratio which means some apps may function strangely, or be highly unoptimized for the display.
Acer Aspire One D255, 1250gm
Tegatech Tega V2, 800gm
Hannspree HANNSpad
Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A9 with nVidia Tegra 2 GPU should make for some high performance web browsing and playback. Hannspree claims that the Hannspree Tablet will be able to play 1080p video for up to 8 hours. Only comes with 16GB storage so if you are planning on loading it up with 1080p videos, you'll likely want to pick up a MicroSD card to extend storage.
Velocity Micro Cruz Reader
Targeted as an ereader, performance doesn't look to promising for much beyond that, but slow web browsing and low quality video playback should work.
Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet
Probably won't be very fast but also shouldn't break the bank. One of a few tablets being released these days with a full sized SD card slot rather than a MicroSD slot. Access to Marketplace is doubtful, but it looks like Cruz will be offering access to something called the Cruz Market for access to some apps.
CSL Spice Mi700, 408gm
Blackberry Playbook, 400gm
Price? Relatively large bezel. No 3G. We suspect a very low price.
Eking M5, 440gm
Ocosmos OCS1
Ocosmos is aiming for 10hrs battery life on this Oaktrail-based device but we're thinking more in the 4-6hrs range depending on battery size. The keyboard is high quality and the OKeys can be programmed for various combinations of keypress. Using the GMA600 GPU it should be significantly more powerful than devices based on the GMA500 (Menlow.) Oaktrail devices aren't expected until 2011.
Dell Inspiron Duo, 1530gm
ExoPC Slate, 950gm
EvoPC have developed overlay software for Windows 7 but we haven't had a chance to check it out. THe Pinetrail platform + 2GB RAM should help WIndows 7 along. We'd like to see some sort of docking solution. Uses the same hardware as the WeTab.
eLocity A7, 463gm
Could work as a great portable home theater, as long as the battery is up to the task. With Nvidia Tegra 2, there shouldn't be a problem outputting 1080p video through the A7's HDMI port. Couple that with decent out-of-the-box codec and container support (see the 'Product Notes' section on this page), and a full sized USB 2.0 port (which can read flash drives up to 64GB), the A7 might be a nice portable home theater. It even comes with a 6-foot HDMI cable. No 3G options on the A7, so internet usage will be restricted to WiFi hotspots, or on the go by tethering to another device.

Viewsonic Viewpad 7, 376gm
With 3G, GPS, capacative multitouch, Android 2.2 and the Google applications suite, the Viewsonic will be high on the list for many.
Archos 101 Internet Tablet, 482gm
Shipping in October with Android 2.2 this capacative touchscreen device will be competitive amoungst non-3G-enabled devices although without the Google App suite, there are some potential showstoppers. No GPS.
Archos 70 Internet Tablet, 312gm
As with previous Archos Internet Tablet products, this comes without Google applicatoins such as Gmail and Market. No GPS. Leading feature is the Archos video playback capability which is extensive.
Archos 43 Internet Tablet, 130gm
Light, thin and, we expect, fast with Android 2.2 on a 1Ghz Cortex A8 CPU. No Google applicatons means no Gmail, Contacts sync, no Maps or Google Market. That could be an issue for many.
Toshiba Folio 100, 760gm
Pioneer Dreambook ePad N7, 465gm
If this gets a true Android+Google apps build, a promise of 2.2 and a docking cradle it's going to give the Huawei S7 a real challenge. Australian dollar converted price is about $450 US.
Samsung X125, 1510gm
DoCoMo Lynx SH-10B, 227gm
Great form factor for mobile productivity with Android (+Google apps) a Snapdragon platform and a 5MP camera. Unfrotauntely, as with most Sharp devices, it's unlikely to be available outside Asia.
Samsung Epic 4G, 156gm
With a 5-row keyboard and the Hummingboard CPU, this might just pip the Droid 2 to be one of the best keyboarded smartphones so far.
Samsung Galaxy Tab, 380gm
Making a huge splash in the 7" Android category is the Galaxy Tab. It's the first device to combine all the features of a high-end Android phone into a hi-resolution 7" tablet. Performance is great, the screen is great, stereo speakers are good (as tested at IFA, Sept 2010) and the Android software has even been enhanced with features like Samsung camera software and Samsung applications. The docking station provides connectivity although adaptor cables will be required. Announced 799 Euro price is very high but street prices should be nearer 600 Euro.
Toshiba Libretto W100, 699gm
A new and interesting design from Toshiba. Dual capacitative touchscreens and some well-integrated keyboard software make this a very interesting choice in the UMPC sector. Heat could be a problem and battery life with the small battery down to 2hrs. High-performance CPU should drive Windows 7 touch and muti-touch features well. Premium price.
Motorola Droid 2, 169gm
Samsung N150, 1230gm
Smart Devices SmartQ T7, 430gm
At under $300 for a 3G-capable tablet, this sets a new benchmark although we're not expecting stellar performance. Basic browsing, e-reading, social networking and instant messaging.
E-Noa Interpad
The announced price for this is 399 Euro which will be competitive is Interpad can deliver a full Android experience.
Motorola Droid X, 153gm
UMID mbook SE, 366gm
Toshiba AC100, 867gm
As with the Compaw Airlife 100, the AC100 looks to come without Google Market and Google apps. Availability is confirmed for the UK at a reasonable 299 pounds. As Android market develops, sideloading of apps onto the AC100 could prove interesting. If a 3.0 upgrade is planned for 2011 then this becomes a very interesting lightweight, low-cost 3G netbook.

Huawei Smakit S7, 500gm
Looking well designed and from a company that has brought Google Android phones to market before, we're hoping for a well specified device with the full Google Android experience. Some specifications we've seen talk about HD video capture which, as far as we know, would indicated a very recent processing platform.
Sony Vaio, 632gm
Another well specified clamshell-style UMPC. Slightly too wide for thumb typing but wide enough for a touch-typing experience. 1.8Ghz, 2GB RAM and SSD helps with speed and this should make quite a rugged travel computer too.
eviGroup Wallet, 200gm
Full specifications unknown. Expected availability in May 2010
ICD Gemini
The Tegra 2 platform used in this is a dual-core Cortex A9 which provides significantly more processing power than a Cortex A8 (E.g. HTC Desire, iPad, Nexus One, Archos 5) meaning web browsing should be a lot faster with the ability to handle multiple concurrent tasks. The critical Google Marketplace is an 'option' which we understand to mean 'waiting for carrier deal.' Autumn release will depend on carrier deals and, if history is anything to go by, will delay the product. Weight unknown but we expect 1 to 1.2 KG based on sizing and huge 41whr battery. Battery life of 6hrs seems real based on screen size, battery capacity and processing platform.
HP Slate, 700gm
Great progress for small form-factor slates. The 1.86Ghz CPU coupled with 2GB of RAM and, if fast, the 64GB SSD should drive WIndows 7 well. Capacative and Digitiser screen, 680gm and a great price means this is a leading UMPC right now.
Sharp IS01, 227gm
Great form factor for mobile productivity with Android (+Google apps) a Snapdragon platform and a 5MP camera. Unfrotauntely, as with most Sharp devices, it's unlikely to be available outside Asia.
Inbrics M1
If only this had been a 4.8" device with 3G! The design and specifications look great. Build quality (we tested it at CES) is great and Inbrics are aiming for a low-$200's price range. 3MP cam could be useful. Will this find too much competition in the smartphone market or will it be a successful standalone product. We'll have to wait for a full test to find out.
WeTab WeTab, 800gm
As time goes on, this Meego build is going to get better and we look forward to the addition of the AppUp store. The hardware platform is relatively old fashioned though so the WeTab products could start to shine more when the second generation is released.
Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3, 1250gm
Archos 7 Home Tablet, 350gm
Running an older ARM9-based Rockhip CPU this isn't going to be a fast web browser but for the $179 launch price we are seeing a lot of value. Ebook reader, simple browser, video playback (said to be up to 2Mbps with many codecs) podcastcher, mp3 player, picture frame and much more.
Notion Ink Adam, 650gm
At 600-650gm and with the special disaply technology (rumored to be Pixel-Qi) the Adam offers some special features over the iPad. The Tegra2 processing platform should provide for some impressive gaming and web experiences to but if there's no Google Marketplace available for the unit, there won't be an easy channel for new applications to reach this 10.1" tablet.
Psixpda Psixpda, 420gm
A productive and usable design hampered by relatively short battery life. Mouse pad (hidden on right hand side of frame) is very usable when using the device in two-handed 'thumbing' mode. Keyboard very good for two-handed thumbing.
HP Mini 5102, 1197gm
HP Mini 210, 1220gm
This is the new model of the HP mini 210 which now runs on Intel's latest Cedar Trail platform. This netbook is capable of flawless HD playback and having less energy consumption it should last a bit longer on a single charge than its predecessor.
Lenovo ThinkPad X100e, 1497gm
Asus Eee PC 1201T, 1460gm
Asus Eee PC 1101HA, 1379gm
Compaq Airlife 100, 1000gm
From our hands on at MWC we predict this to be an important product in the netbook world as it teases users with a more social, connected and location-aware set of features. The first 'Social Netbook' that gets it right in our opinion. Pricing unknown at this stage.
Dell Streak, 225gm
With a complete Google application set and marketplace, this is one of the first MIDs to offer such a complete operating system package. We are doubting that too many people will use this to replace a phone but the facility will ensure that it's available through carriers. As a reader, navigation device, HQ web and video browser in a pocket-sized, lightweight format, the Dell Mini 5 has a lot going for it.
Netbook Navigator Nav 9, 900gm
With multitouch, a tablet-enable build of Windows 7 (premium,) 2GB RAM, a 900gm weight and good entry level price, the Nav 9 helps to bring true, productive tablet PCs to the masses. Our only concern is the very small battery which we estimate to be worth up to a maximum of only 2.5 hours. An extended battery (about 150% capacity) will bring the capacity up to around 4 hours and at %50, is recommended because it's a custom install. Included carrying case and car charger rounds off a nice package. Note: 3G retro-fit should be possible with a PCI-Express mini module. (Unconfirmed) Question remains about removable battery. (We suspect not.)
Options exist for 32, 64 and 128GB SSD.
Apple iPad, 680gm
at 680gm (1.5lbs) the iPad comes in at a larger-than-expected weight which could limit its use as a mobile device but the entry-level, no-contract price of $499 is groundbreaking for Apple. Ebooks, Maps, Video, Music and a high-quality web experience through a fun and friendly user interface will qualify it for many. Limitations and 'showstoppers' exist (no SD slot, no Flash support, no multi-tasking.) One of the first 'good value' products from Apple.
Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (Pine Trail), 1389gm
Asus Eee PC 1001P, 1270gm
Acer Aspire One AOD532h, 1270gm
UMID BZ, 363gm
Solves all of the major issues of the original M1 and adds a useful mouse pointer. With battery life of over 4hrs this is now a serious contender as a productive, pocketable UMPC.
XPPhone XPPhone, 400gm
Early pricing (local, China) is said to be the equivalent of $400 but specifications are not known. If build quality can be kept high, this 400gm basic UMPC/Phone could find some customers. AMD processor is not very powerful but reaches full web speeds similar to very low-end Atom-based devices. 3D support is poor. Given a fast SSD, this could reach acceptable office application speeds.
Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T, 1300gm
At $499 this is priced to compete with the T91, T1028, T101 and Viliv S10 but with only Windows 7 starter, users will have to upgrade to the high-end 1.8Ghz version with Windows Home Premium and 2GB RAM to get the best out of it. That's a $650 price-point.
Mobinnova Beam, 836gm
If the Beam includes a true, Google, Android OS this will be one of the first ever non-phone products to be approved by Google. If not, the Android experience will be incomplete. (No marketplace or Google apps.) Build quality seems to be very good, it's lightweight and if the price is right, this really could be an interesting netbook / smartbook
Viliv N5, 399gm
Lives up to the pre-release hype. Great build quality, fast SSD, good keyboard and battery life. It's expensive when compared to the UMID BZ so you'll have to 'value' that extra memory and build quality. Base model, surprisingly, comes with no video out.
Smart Devices SmartQ V5, 160gm
Although the processor is still 2008/2009 generation ARM11, the possibility to run it at 800Mhz means that it might be worth investigating for basic mobile web activities. The low price, open OS and good community support means that the SmartQ V5 could appeal to mobile device 'hackers.'

The styling and specifications are extremely interesting and if the rumored price of $249 is true (we assume for entry-level) then this could end up being the must-have coffee-table device of 2010. High-end options such as 3G and 1024x600 screens also make this very interesting for mobile computing
Ramos W7
Looks like a great 4.8" device but we'd be wary of buying until a review has been read. The Rockchip CPU is an unknown quantity. Also be aware that this is probably not a Google Android device. (No marketplace, google apps.)
Wirelession W1090, 390gm
Screen type and pricing unknown at this stage. Specifications seem to match the Camangi Webstation. Also available with WinCE.
Camangi WebStation, 390gm
The design looks great but the ARM11-based CPU may not be able to deliver the application speed that most people will be looking for. This is effectively a 1st-gen Android phone in a large-screen format. (Without voice capability)
Fusion Garage JooJoo, 1200gm
Fujitsu UH900, 500gm
Fujitsu have dropped the convertible screen seen on the U820, have increased the width (bigger keys), reduced the depth and thickness. Weight is down by 100gm. Mouse pointer and mouse buttons are included for on-the-move usage.
Asus Eee PC T91MT, 953gm
With a weight of under 1kg and a very small size, it's going to be interesting for mobile users.
MSI Wind U210, 1451gm
LG X130, 1450gm
Samsung N510, 1409gm
Wits A81, 390gm
Looking like a Smart Device Q7 but having the extra power of the Cortex A8 this could make a very cost-effective browsing device if Android became available. No bluetooth and a WVGA screen may not be perfect but with prices quoted in the $220 range (pre tax and shipping) it looks like a nice home tablet option.
Eking S515, 420gm
A productive and usable design hampered by relatively short battery life. Mouse pad (hidden on right hand side of frame) is very usable when using the device in two-handed 'thumbing' mode.

Archos 5 Internet Tablet, 182gm
Samsung N140, 1250gm
Sharp Netwalker, 409gm
The price could be a little high on this one at launch but it competes well with the UMID M1 UMPC. Battery life of 10 hours is a real bonus. Combine this with a Mifi and you're good to go! On the Ascii.co.jp video (see below) we're impressed with the load time (10-seconds for ascii.co.jp on a Firefox browser) and the embedded Flash video.
Nokia Booklet 3G, 1250gm
We assume this is based on an Atom Silverthorne CPU based on the battery life claims, video performance and size of the device BUT this could be a PineTrail-based device. Pricing will be critical

Tainell T500, 450gm
With very similar appearance and features to the Viliv S5, this may have to compete on price. No information on the on-screen-keyboard at this stage. Windows7 may be the solution here.

A 9" Tablet-style PC is a rare occurrence. This is a Windows 7-based device that focuses on media. The chipset included is capable of 1080p and Windows 7 can certainly drive H.264 up to extremely high bitrates but the 1.1Ghz CPU with the 4200RPM hard drive seems to slow this device down to 'boring' levels.

A lot of people called for Intel Atom in the original HP 2133 chassis. Now you have it! Atom should improve the battery live and reduce noise and heat which were problems on the original 2133. Nice keyboard. Hi-res screen options and Expresscard slot should satisfy prosumers.

Looks great from the outside. Specifications look acceptable too although there may be some resistance from people who are looking for a slide-out keyboard. At 15mm thick and weighing only 200gm, this is on the leading edge of MID designs.
SFR Mi PC Pocket, 340gm
With a subsidised price of around 250 and 30 per month, this is as expensive as any smartphone but we think it's more likely to appeal to those with smaller feature-phones.
Raon Digital Everun S8S, 460gm
We like the Everun! Flash disk, auto screen rotate, good screen brightness and the ability to upgrade with HSDPA or EVDO. Prices are very competitive and there's a good range of accessories. Class-leading battery life. On the negative side, the Everun has problems decoding ost video formats apart from MPEG-4. This is no desktop replacement but performs very well and is highly recommended as a mobile internet device.

Raon Digital Everun Note, 742gm
A very cheap touchscreen UMPC. 1Ghz CPU is as powerful as INtel Atom at 1.6Ghz. Battery life is quite poor but additional batteries are cheap and small. Good keyboard. Build quality not the best.
Raon Digital Everun Note, 742gm
This is one of the most powerful UMPCs we've ever tested. Its light enough to be used as a carry-everywhere PC solution but the small form factor does not lend itself well to long periods of work. Battery life can reduce very quickly when under heavy usage. Processing power is locked to 800Mhz when under battery power.
Asus Eee PC 904HA, 1361gm

Using the Intel low-cost notebook platform, this could be a very good value challenger to other touchscreen convertibles like the VyeS37 and the Flybook V5.

A netbook with a difference. Despite the relatively heavy 1.35KG, this is a device you can use in some UMPC-like scenarios. The touchscreen is fun to use.
Having tested this device, we found it to be very fast due to the high-speed 160GB SATA drive. Battery life is near 3 hours with Wifi on. Touchpad good quality. 2GB upgrade easy. BT 2.1 was included on our test device.

It's debateable that this is within the boundaries of the UMPC definition but at under 1.3KG it's definately a lighweight device. Attractive, semi-rugged and targeted at the education market.
The VIA C7-M at 1Ghz will be too slow for some but with the 1.6Ghz VIA C7 option it should make a very nice, portable and strong mininote.

Not quite a mobile internet device due to lack of Bluetooth tethering capability. OPera browser is also slow and not as rich as, say, the Nokia N800.

Moving towards the ideal 'pocketable' form factor for a mobile device this is more than just a MID. Running Vista it proves that the Menlow platform can be scaled up (rumors at the moment indicate that the Silverthorne processor goes up to 1.8Ghz) to support UMPC-style operating systems.

The Easynote XS20 is a device built on the same platform as the Belinea and having tested that we think that the Belinea is going to be a solid performer. Certainly all video playback and internet activities should be fine. With the touchscreen and big, 80GB drive, this version seems to be even better value than the Easynote XS20 and a good option for those that are not sure if the Eee PC has enough power, storage or the right operating system. The module to the right of the screen is a removable VOIP module. (Internet Phone)

1024x600 on a 7" screen is great for handheld use.

We've tested a version of this device and found it to be a solid performer. We didnt find it pretty in white so our recommendation is to go for the black. Screen quality is good and the mouse pointer is very intuitive.
VyePC Mini-v S37B, 1000gm
Ideal for mobile digital photographers as the SD card slot is fast and accessible. The hi-resolution screen, high capacity hard drive and portability make it easy to take and setup on location. Mobile bloggers, commuters and traveling executives will also find the compact size an advantage. Battery life could be better.
Samsung Q1 Ultra, 700gm
1024x600 on a 7" screen is just perfect! The mouse is a little dissapointing (its not a synaptics pointer but more of a basic joystick) and the keyboard will take a lot of work to get used to. McCaslin architechture seems good - Vista runs very well indeed.

So close to the ideal consumer mobile internet device that it hurts. A larger screen, more processing power, GPS and Bluetooth support would complete bring it up into the convergent mobile device market. As it is though, its already a great media player, gaming platform and web browsing device.

Mobile bloggers, commuters and travelling executives will also find the compact size an advantage. Battery life could be better and the processor speed of 600Mhz means that some operations are slower than normal.

Raon Digital Everun S36HS, 500gm
We like the Everun! Flash disk, auto screen rotate, good screen brightness and the ability to upgrade with HSDPA or EVDO. Prices are very competitive and there's a good range of accessories. Class-leading battery life. On the negative side, the Everun has problems decoding ost video formats apart from MPEG-4. This is no desktop replacement but performs very well and is highly recommended as a mobile internet device.
WiBrain B1E, 512gm
Not the most attractive of UMPCs but one of the more usable ones. The touch-pointer and keyboard help to make the learning curve short and the 1.2Ghz processor works well with Windows XP Home. Some fan noise. Fantastic screen.

We've done some thorough testing on this one. With XP/1GB its fast and performs very well as a video player. Thre are even gaming possibilities. Its not a pocketable device and looks a little chubby but so far, it's our favorite McCaslin (A100/A110) based UMPC. (Tested: SH6, V37, Shift, Q1 Ultra.) 3+ hour wifi-on battery life.

Kohjinsha SA1F00KS, 980gm
The Geode LX800 processor is a low performance processor but capable of some surprising results and impressive energy efficiency. Mpeg-4 Video performance is especially good with 2mbps bitrates possible. Its one of the smallest, lightest and longest battery life sub-laptop/UMPCs there is. A unique device. See the review for more details.

Stylish and surprisingly spritely for a Windows Vista device. This is a device that works an almost any situation; whether in a cafe, on a train or walking through a crowded street. You can turn empty minutes in to productive minutes with the Shift. HSDPA antenna sensitivity very good making it one of the best all-round mobile devices. If only it had more than 2 hours battery life though!

Flipstart Labs Flipstart, 820gm
Without actually holding one of these, its difficult to grasp the actual scale of it. The ratio of dimensions certainly make it look rather 'thick' and the weight is on the high side for such a small device. Questions arise over the PPI (pixels per inch) on the screen which, at over 200, could be difficult for some people to use. The Intel 915 chipset ensures a quality video experience for this screen size and the processor will be powerful enough for standard office-like activities. The lack of ports (one USB2.0) could be a problem although with EV-DO on board(appears to be the high-speed type) there will be no need for external cellular modems. Will the Flipstart be available with HSDPA for the Euro market? We will have to wait and find out.

The specifications and design are impressive. Its got a lot of what was missing from UMPC's in 2006. LED backlit screen, touch pointer, keyboard and longer battery life. Unfortunately the DVB-T option,GPS and docking station have been dropped from the base retail package. There are known problems using Media Center and Origami Experience on VIA based UMPCs (performance) but it is not known if this issue affects the Medion UMPC. We're waiting for the first tests...

Raon Digital Vega, 480gm
Surprisingly quick for a 500Mhz PC and with very good battery life (over 5 hours normal use.) The VEGA will make a great high-end entertainment and navigation UMPC for car and home. Touch screen, mouse button and extensive button array improve usability. Is shipped in Korea with Windows XP Home so don't expect a full touch-enabled experience. Lack of built-in Wifi and Bluetooth means using USB sticks which is a disadvantage. Screen is very good quality at native resolution but too small at the highest 1024x768 setting. This is not a high-end gaming machine due to the limited 3D graphics support.
