Fujitsu LifeBook P1620 - Core 2 Duo U7600 1.2 GHz - 8.9" tft

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.

Acer TravelMate 6292-6700 - Core 2 Duo T7300 2 GHz - 12.1" tft

The business-oriented analog of Acer's Ferrari 1100, the TravelMate 6292 shares many of the same features as its flashier sibling but wraps them in a slightly thicker, boxier case that's better suited for boardrooms.

ViewSonic VG2030wm - flat-panel display - tft - 20

ViewSonic's 20-inch VG2030wm wide-screen LCD monitor compares well against similar displays we've seen from the likes of HP and NEC. And also like the NEC, it lacks HDCP compliance, making it unable to play protected HD video content. With a price tag around $250, this monitor brushes very close in...
