As Microsoft gets ready to unveil Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, hardware manufacturers are readying tablet products for release.
Microsoft plans to display a beta version of Windows XP that will run on tablet PCs, a new breed of computers that have touch screens and can read handwriting.
Our new favourite ultra-portable, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX27GP offers up a superb design, brilliant battery life and a great blend of multimedia features.
Ultraportables don't get much lighter than Sony's 1.2kg TX17. Although diminutive in size, the 11-inch Vaio has a built-in DVD burner, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The Sony VAIO PCG-R505CT notebook provides an excellent example of why you should sometimes look past performance ratings and technical specifications when buying a notebook. Its standout specifications are its minimal size and weight, but this slim notebook also sports an excellent software bundle aimed at hobbyist photographers and video enthusiasts who will find it worth sacrificing a few benchmark points.
Beautifully designed and reassuringly robust, the 1.5kg VAIO Z11 marries a decent-sized 13.1-inch screen with good portability. It's not flawless, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.
If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.
