NEW ENTRANTS:
Despite its hefty price, the Fujitsu LifeBook P1510 is such a unique tablet PC that it has piqued the interests of our readers to score a recommendation. With the new upgraded batch with Bluetooth connectivity and Microsoft Tablet PC Edition installed, all we want for Christmas will be a price tag under S$2,800 (US$2,061.51).

CHANGES:
Except for the inclusion of the LifeBook P1510, there has been little change this week. However, with back-to-back launches of new product lines from Acer, BenQ, Lenovo and Sony, we could be seeing a lull before the storm as vendors clamor for the holiday dollar.
