Review summary	The HP TouchSmart tx2-1020ea is attractive, robust and offers decent performance, but its multitouch capability is disappointing. The majority of multitouch gestures will only work within HP's MediaSmart suite of applications, and the tx2-1020ea can't recognise those made using three or more fingers. At this price, you'd be justified in expecting better 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	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	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
