If you're looking for a touch-screen notebook--and want something a bit lighter than the Lenovo tablet we reviewed this month--Fujitsu's LifeBook B6000D could suit your needs. This sturdily designed, $1700 model weighs just 3.4 pounds and has a 12.1-inch touch-screen display, a 1.2-GHz Intel Pentium M ULV 753 processor, and 802.11a/g wireless. It scored 61 on our WorldBench 5 tests, barely edging the tablets we reviewed, and it's a bit thin on some specs (it has only a 40GB hard drive and no built-in optical drive). But I found its touch screen a convenient and smooth alternative to a touchpad or pointing stick--especially when using the B6000D on the go.
