Fujitsu LifeBook U1010 (Intel Processor A110 800MHZ, 1GB RAM)
First take
The first generation of UMPCs were more technological showcases than consumer-ready products. High prices and poor battery life simply did not justify replacing a full-sized ultraportable with a pint-sized device, regardless of the fact that the latter could run a full-fledged operating system. This changed when the Kohjisha SA1F00 was introduced at a very attractive price point of just over S$1,000 (US$736.25) with 5-hour battery life to boot.

HP Pavilion dv9500 (Core 2 Duo T7400 processor 2.16GHz; 2GB RAM)
Outlook: Like its predessesor, the dv9100, this desktop replacement may not be much of a productivity performer, but plug in an external TV tuner and the HP Pavilion dv9500 would more than satisfy your entertainment and gaming needs.

ThinkPad T61 (Core 2 Duo Processor T7100 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM)
CNET Asia rating: 7.6 out of 10
The good: Internal roll cage protects LCD; 802.11n Wi-Fi for faster wireless throughput; very small AC adapter adds little to overall travel weight; Intel's Active Management Technology provides remote support.
The bad: New Centrino technology doesn't offer outsized performance gains.
The bottom line: Lenovo's 14-inch ThinkPad T61 shaves a few millimeters off the company's more mainstream R-series laptops, but still boasts the same solid ThinkPad DNA along with IT-friendly features by way of Intel's new Centrino Pro platform.
