Yukyung Viliv X70EX

The Viliv X70EX is an improvement on its older UMPC-like sibling, the S5, but compared with other Intel Atom-powered products, it's not exactly a bargain.

HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx

A fair price, an attractive design, and multitouch support may allow tablet shoppers to overlook the HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx's middling performance and poor battery life.

Specs: Intel Core Duo (1.6 GHz), 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM, 100 GB, 6 lbs, RoHS

Toshiba Portege M400

Though inexpensive, the Portege M400 convertible tablet's middle-of-the-road performance and battery life may not be enough for the demanding business user. For basic tasks, however, it's a decent bargain.

Specs: Intel Core Solo (1.66 GHz), 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM, 80 GB, 4.4 lbs, RoHS

Toshiba Satellite A105-S4004
