Review summary	We can't think of a single good reason to buy the HTC Shift. It's so bad it's almost unbelievable. It's too expensive, its keyboard will give you RSI, and it's so slow it'll drive you to throw it -- or yourself -- out of a window in frustration. Buy this at your peril Read full review	The Toshiba Portege M200's successful combination of notebook performance and tablet functionality make it one of the best on the market, despite its mediocre speed Read full review	If you need a rugged tablet PC that can do a full day's work in the field, Motion's widescreen J3400 will prove a very satisfactory choice, although it's not the lightest tablet we've seen, and you can rack up a big price tag if you pile on the options Read full review	Fujitsu Siemens' top-of-the-range slate-style Tablet PC packs in plenty of features and is generally well designed. But it's pricey, runs hot and could prove too bulky and heavy for extended mobile use Read full review
