- The Fujitsu LifeBook P1620 sits somewhere between the ultraportable and UMPC camps, combining a 9-inch convertible tablet display (which rotates both ways--a tablet rarity) with a decent-size keyboard and business-friendly security features, including an embedded TPM Trusted Platform Module chip.

- WiBrain B1E UMPC
- Priced at $699 and offering a variety of useful input options, the Wibrain B1E avoids the two pitfalls that commonly beset UMPCs--high price and low usability. Its price makes it the cheapest UMPC we've reviewed; it's $300 less than the Fujitsu LifeBook U810 and a fraction of the cost of...

- Fujitsu LifeBook U810 (Vista Home Premium)
- The Fujitsu LifeBook U810 skirts the line between an ultraportable convertible tablet and a UMPC (that's ultramobile PC, if you haven't been paying attention).

- OQO model 2
- The ultramobile PC, or UMPC, has certainly attracted plenty of attention over its short lifespan. Despite good looks and sleek industrial designs, however, these pocket-sized PCs have left us disappointed, thanks to clunky interfaces, high prices, and poor battery life.
